i will only buy a game if it will have long lasting multiplayer or a campaign that takes long to finish/has high replay value (ex. fallout 3).

Well the amount of gaming that I do has been steadily declining over the past couple of years. The poor economy just further contributes to my lack of gaming.

No I've always been poor and unable to afford many, if any, games.

Not at all. But I just bought a pretty expensive LCD so that is affecting my gaming habits as I won't buy any game until Killzone 2.

I said that I "MAY" have to end my subscription. So no, I have not ended it yet :-)

I work for a domestic car dealership, so I think that pretty much tells y'all my financial situation. I am about afraid to buy anything...LOL.

My parents are saving up since these hard times. They give me the whole "don't buy that it's a waste of money" speech everytime I try to buy something.

I haven't bought a game in months. So I guess yeah.

Nope, not at all. The declining economy hasn't really affected us in North Dakota at all.

Nope. But I was never a 'hardcore' gamer. I don't need to buy the latest graphics card the day it's released, nor do I need a collection of hundreds of games. I tend to buy only games which I know I will love and which offer a great deal of replayability. So my gaming expenses are actually quite small in any given year.
