I would say I buy 4 or 5. I have bought 1 so far this year: skate2. I will buy madden 2010, and maybe some others.

Thanks to great deals on steam and stuff I buy like 20+ a year. That has now ground to a halt with me running completely out of cash.

It depends. I usually buy Madden and NBA 2K(insert number), one or two wii games to make it feel good about itself, huge blockbuster hits(Gears 2), and a couple games that I personally have been looking forward to (the force unleashed). Probably around 8 or 9 overall.

Usually less than 5 post gamefly. Last year I only bought 2 games! It's hard to say how many I'll buy this year.

I've got Killzone 2, Valkyria Chronicles, Prinny Can I really be the Hero, and Afro Samurai (I don't know if it counts because I'm going to trade it in soon)... I don't know what else I will be buying because as of so far nothing interests me...

Some of us like keeping our games and usually buy games that have some replay value.

i dont think that applies to the guy buying 20+ a year. No one has enough time to juggle lifes responsibilities and play all the games if ALL had repability.

8-10 usually. Plus NCAA Football and MLB The Show every year. One game every month or so; it helps if there are more than 4 greatest hits.

probably a couple dozen if not more. I never go past Gamestopt without walking in and usually buy one or two.

Also I find some good games on great deals at K-Mart or Wal-Mart.

I know the people at my local stores pretty well so I end up talking anytime I go by and ask about what games they are expecting soon.

Also an inveterate searcher of the bargain bins...you never know what you will find in those places. Sometimes a gem among the drek.

And ya I have played a lot of lousy games out of the there....Trigger Man comes to mind offhand.

6-10. Way too many, but i've been on a hot streak recently so I doubt i'll slow down. I was playing catch up early last year but it was like more than 60% of the game I purchased I disliked. Starting with Mirror's Edge though, I've enjoyed every title i've bought since then (ME, Prince of Persia, Fallout 3, Naruto, Tales of Vesp, Street Fighter 4 and Sonic's UGC). Once I realized that fun factor was a zero factor for modern day reviews, my sense for quality returned to how it was last gen and earlier.

Wow... I don't see why people buy so many games (20+)... I'm just broken thinking about it... When Halo 2 came out it was the only game that I bought for the 3 year span that I played it... I put far to much time into it... I was felling bad about already buying 4 games this year... I try to buy games that deserve to be played (I'm regretting buying Afro Samurai)... not just things to waste my time...

^ I've got more Liquid Money than i've had in a long time. Plus, this gen was the first time where I didn't get a system like 3-4 years after launch, so i've balled hard on it.

I rarely trade in games plus I like to clear a game atleast twice before I stop playing it.

As far as I know Gamefly isn't in Ireland.

On average, 16-20. Last year it was over 20 because I bought a PSP along with 10 games for it. So far this year, I've bought 5.

Usually somewhere between 15-20 although lately I've slowed down a bit because I got a new (more demanding) job.

I buy about 15 or so I would guess, but hardly ever at full price. I buy maybe 2 or 3 $60 games a year, the others are all~ $20 or so
