Are you more attracted to buying games than actually playing it?

I just spend a big chunk of my budget last week on the $10 a game sale and I told myself that I would not buy anymore games till I get my next paycheck, but BB will be having a Fable 2 sale for only $29.99 today! I just don't know if this is a good deal...I think I'm more attracted to buying games than actually playing them. I just bought my xbox360 last november and so far I have 21 games in my collection now...and I've basically just played 4 of them (well, as of the moment...). Anyone out there who, more or less,have the same situation.

I play all the games that I buy, but in the last few months I did fall behind.

I have the same problem... i have almost 20 games but i only really play 5 of them... the other 15 or so just lay around collecting dust. I got to be more careful with my selections because sometimes it gets outta hand. :?

I know what you mean i probably have 10 gaes not even open, I do this when i find good deals.I price matched 6 games from wal-mart with the best buy add. Just play them when you get bored of the ones you are playing now you will eventually get to them.

Well I am sort of a game whore. My collection is probbaly in the 40's, maybe more. I have played all of them at least once but some games like Mass Effect, Oblivion, Rock Band 2, and some MP games got a LOT of use out of them.

When I buy a game, I play it all the way through. I almost never buy another game until I finish the last one I purchased.

I am. I'm addicted to buying games. There's no way I can find time to play all the games I buy. I must have at least 40 or 50 games I've never played.

Gaming is definitely one of the more expensive hobbies out there, I own about 30 games and I play the same 5 or 6.:?

I still have some games sealed, but that's because I focus on one story line at a time. I try to play at beat all my games.
