i hate it when there are some great games i cant afford

dont you hate it when you cant afford the good games out

i have to buy killzone 3 and i have to preoprder many (crysis 2. batman, the elder scrolls skyrim, resistance 3, uncharted 3)

i need to win £250

It has been a long time since I didn't have enough money to buy the games I want, but I can feel with you because there's a lot I missed especially on the PS1 :/ Anyway, nowadays I have several games that look great, but just can't find the time to play them all...

I have a long list of games that I want to get that have been out for years and are now under $10. So I can wait until the next batch of games drops to my price point.

Yeah but I don't need to spend too much on games anyways....

either wait and buy then cheaper, or get more hrs at work if u work that isJoKeR_421

im 14 so the only job i can get is a paperround, and thats only £4-5 a week for 2 hours work lol

u don't need to buy every new game out there. i have a solid job and i still prefer to save my money than buying every game out. you are not missing out on anything. don't feel obligated that you always have to have the newest stuff to be part of the "cool' kids. man up and convince yourself that you can wait a little longer till they're cheap enough that you can afford them. it's a lesson i learned when i was growing up. patience = fruitful outcome.Batang_X990

i do useally wait till they are cheap, but i always have a problem with which one to get when i get enough, its always so frustrating, for instance i want one of these games but dont know which:

killzone 2

killzone 3

uncharted 1 and 2

god of war 3

etc

so its hard to decide

We had know for a while now that 2011 is going to hard on wallets for many gamers, myself included. I usually can afford 1 game monthly but with so many fantastic games, I have to prioritise.

This means, I purchase only the game I want the most and which will give me best value for the buck.

Unfortunately, some game I'll have to purchase on later time, the good things is however - I'll get them for cheaper price. ;)

huh? how the hell do you manage to do that AND have time for gaming??

my PS3 game wishlist is well over $600 :D. Whether or not I actually spend that much on the games I want is a different matter

all these great games are the reason why i have gamefly, i cant afford all of them and its the only way i can actually play all of them.

I don't really worry about it. There are always going to be great games I don't have the money to purchase or the time to play.

Just play what you do have in the meantime and wait until you have the money, or the price drops. The game isn't going to be any less great a few months from now.

Also, enjoy the times when you don't have responsibilities like a full time job. You're 14. You've got a little time left where you get to be mostly worry free. Enjoy it.

.... get a job.funsohng

Best suggestion

I just pre-order the games I'm really excited about and let the others wait until they're cheaper.

yeah i got it, it may work for a minute but wait till you get caught, the only thing i hate is trying to convince my wife to get a game

You're not the only one who feels that way. The best thing to do is wait it out.

You can save a lot of money on your gaming hobby if your willing to be patient.

All games will eventually dip below the $15 mark sooner or later. Look for sales, used copies, or just wait it out.

I can't believe I used to pay $60+ for one game. Now $60 will buy me 4-5 games.

It used to bother me, but I still wait for the games to hit the $20 used mark before I buy them. There are plenty of great games out there I haven't played though that will keep me rocking for awhile.

if i counter with that all hell would break loose, normally i just hide a game in my night stand, but 9 times out of 10 "a good night" is all it'll take for me to get what i want

I know how you feel man, but if you have $60 you can invest (not spend all year) then buyem used a couple weeks after they come out and return them, never spend a dime., and you get all the fun.

Just buy them when they're cheaper... I still want Vanquish and Bioshock 2 but ill wait for them to hit the 9.99 mark.Fightingfan
