How am I going to afford all these games for 2011? (what will you buy?)

Seriously guys, I need help. I need to set up some type of payment plan to afford these. After seeing that ridiculous Resistance 3 Trailer with those incredible kills I don't know what to do with games constantly coming...

How many games are you going to be buying. For me it looks like:

Uncharted 3

Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 3 (watch this get delayed though til Jan 2012!)

Killzone 3

SotC/ICO HD

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (haven't got this one yet!)

Heavy Rain (when it's $10-$20)

Infamous 2

Games I might buy:

LBP2

Batman Arkham City

Journey

and we don't even know if other games like Starhawk are coming, but there's a good chance that it does come in late 2011/early 2012

basically there are so many great looks games, that I won't need a PS4 or next Xbox.

Get a minimum wage paying job?...Boomshaffted

Don't buy them when they are $60? Work more?Blixxed

I'm sure half of them will be delayed for 2012.

Man, there are games like Heavy Rain, Alan Wake, and ModNation Racers that I still haven't bought. I still don't have Dragon Age either! Don't get me started on next year :(. I have a feeling I'll be buying a good number of used games with my Power Up Rewards card at Gamestop.

I kinda want Mass 3 to get delayed (and some other games) :P. I'm gonna get it day one if I can, but gimme some breathing room!

Really though, if the games' are ready and not rushed, then it's all good.

[QUOTE="Boomshaffted"][QUOTE="mD-"] Bills to pay? College expenses? etc...?Episode_Eve

I'll buy a few and rent a lot.

[QUOTE="Episode_Eve"]

[QUOTE="Boomshaffted"] Ok, 12 games you listed. That's about $70 (liberally) a month. Give up one night out with friends a month. Or... Get a part-time minimum wage paying job for 10 hours a month. Seriously you can't spare less than 10 hours a month or give up a bit in some other luxury? The whole "How can I afford it?" thing is a joke for a game a month, unless you're literally living on an allowance from parents and aren't able to get a job.Boomshaffted

Yeah, I completely dig what you're saying. I personally don't drink at all or go out to bars / clubs (just relating to an example you provided), but I do spend money (not much, because I'm cheap :P) on hanging out with loved ones and friends. But even discarding recreational activities, it's very difficult to buy all the games I want to play, given my expenses. I haven't bought any Wii games this year because of budgeting. Luckily I share a game fund with my bro, but that's not gonna last forever. Finally, video game expenses shouldn't be treated as a necessity, though sometimes we want it to be :P.

I really need to get Gamefly! I'd rent games like Enslaved or Vanquish.

Going to have to start selling my body to pay for all these games, man gaming is an expensive hobby

I should, but I think I listed it for 360 because my conscience told me that I need to give the PS3 a rest :P. Also, I don't have Gold, nor do I plan on renewing, so I could try out the MP for free on PS3.

Just Mass Effect 3 and Heroes of Stalingrad. I was hoping for Saints Row 3, but that's not going to happen.

I'm buying these for sure,

Gears of War 3

Bulletstorm

Crysis 2

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12

Battlefield 3

Homefront

Deus Ex Human Revolution

Not sure what else at this point and time

Well I'm for sure getting:

Infamous 2

Uncharted 3

Little Big Planet 2

Batman Arkham City

Dead Space 2

Portal 2

Zelda Skyward Sword

Mass Effect 3

...and a 3DS + Games

Right now, I have my eyes on

• Mass Effect 2
• Batman Arkham City
• Team ICO Collection
• The Last Guardian
• Yakuza 4 and
• Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.

Everything after that will come in due time.

I'll buy crysis 2,Deus ex HR,Dragon age 2 and Witcher 2 for sure

Gears of war 3, Mass effect 3 and Dead space 2

I will be spending an absurd amount of money as well.

1. Mass Effect 2
2. Dead Space 2
3. KIllzone 3
4. Crysis 2
5. Little Big Planet 2
6. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
7. Infamous 2
8. SotC/ICO Collection
9. Rage
10. Uncharted 2
11. Resistance 3
12. Mass Effect 3
13. The Last Guardian
14. Journey

Possibilites

1. Socom 4
2. Motorstorm Apocalypse
3. Ninja Gaiden 3 (if released)
4. NFS Hot Pursuit
5. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

I'll probably sign up for Blockbuster Games by Mail or Gamefly next year.

My two first purchases of what will be a epic year of gaming are DS2 and KZ3 after that we will wait and see. I know I am guaranteed to buy those two plus U3 Infamous 2 and R3 so that make it's five for the year thus far.

Yeah I just realised there is like 4 more games added to my list. Crap!!!
