Once I buy my $3000 Sony XBR4 1080P LCD TV, then I will be almost broke. I've been saving for a long time. I can't wait until I get it :)

Ya, well, just do what I did. Go and snap your credit card in half, then you can't easily buy new games. For the record I broke it accidentally.

Yep. I normally have more than enough cash to spend on my hobby. But after a 7 day cruise, another lcd hdtv for the bedroom, a new axle for my car, I find myself just a lil strapped for cash. Ill be picking up Ace Combat 6 and COD 4 on friday. Then next week assassins creed, followed by Mass Effect. Its just not enough time in a ******* day.... :|

Nope.

Ive got enough for a PC overhaul upgrade, a 32" Samsung HDTV, and a large wad of new games.

I just have to wait until after final exams :(

*Oh and enough $ spare to book a flight to the Gold Coast ( here in Australia of course)

Nope. Although I have to watch my spending since I still need to have enough left for Christmas. So far the only confirmed fall purchases for me are SMG(which is a birthday present anyway) and Assassin's Creed. I've done no research on Mass Effect so I don't know whether or not to buy it.

Nope. Im being very selective with my games purchases...I have better things to spend money on.

I picked up Halo 3, Orange Box and BioShock on a Buy 2, Get 1 free at Toys R Us last month......

I'll probably pick up Super Mario Galaxy & Call of Duty 4.......but other than that I look done for the year...unless Uncharted/Assassins Creed turn out really good.

No..I've been doing pretty well this month...so far. I'm trying to hold back on the spending, but Super Mario Galaxy, Trauma Center: New Blood, and Final Fantasy Reveant Wings are all saying, "No, you won't." :(

I've exercised a surprising amount of restraint so far, though I'll probably have to break down and get Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed and Contra IV

yeah i'm really restraining myself, i might not pick up assassin's creed if simply to save money, and then there's time crisis 4... $80? maybe i'll buy then return, if simply because i also want to get UT3... i mean, i also need beer money!

These darn game companies why do they put out such good software, oh kidsI can remeber the days that the best game you would hope to get is ET on the 2600 at christmas... Becuse that is all atari would come out with for the holiday. I got so mad at that game becuse I never could beat it ever. Come to find out that there was no humanly way to beat the game, becuse the programming sucked so bad..

Fast forward to today 28 years later where you couldn't possibly play all the games coming out, and each one a unique experience (no * chasing | graphics these graphics make the WII look like it's from an alien civilization). SMGalaxy, MassE, ORANGEBOX to name a few, plus there will be many bargain games, I still haven't played. This season is shapping up to be the biggest in history, 3 consoles, 1 holiday gaming goodness.

I hate to say it you kids areso spoiled, complaining about how you can't afford all the games comming out. WAAA WAAA go cry me a river somewhere else ROFLAMO!

If I could only play the technoligy we have now when I was a kid, now I would be amazed how far it has come, however I take it for granted. Don't complain about the bounty of the christmas game season, just get what you can afford, not like these great games are going to dissapear overnight, don't worry they will make more disks...

WOW the holiday season hasn't officially started yet and im almost broke just buying games alone. Every week a couple of must have games come out, i dont even know how i am going to play all these games.lazybone187

All these games are killing me!! Ace Combat w/ flight stick, VF5 w/ Hori Arcade stick, Legendary Edition Halo 3, NBA 2K8, Orange Box, COD4, Super Mario Galaxy, and PGR4.

OMFG! $680

Then there's Mass Effect, and Assassin's Creed.

What if all the other games had stayed on schedule like, GTA4, SSBB, and MGS4. I would of had to get the PS3 this year.:|

As it is I'm still shelling out another $130 for games.

I hate 2007, but I might hate 2008 even more.:)

how do you guys find the time to play all those games? I could afford every game I want this xmas but most of them wouldn't get played for quite some time.

let me guess most of you who are broke are still at school and don't have a job, so once school finishes = lots of free time to play games, but once you finish school the time to play games greatly disapears as you will have work to go to each day for around 8 hours mon-fri (for your typical job)
