It's been clearly stated, get a job. It's the only solution. Or beg your parents for money.zeppelin_64
Hey, getting a job isn't necessarily a solution. I have a job and I'm still not going to be able to buy all the games I want. I am fixing computers on the side though to try and get the money for all of them but I still don't know if I will make it! There are just TOO many good games! I love this time of year but I hate it too!

On this planet, money makes the world go around. Even if you don't want to work during your school days, that's what summer is for. I worked hard over summer and managed to make $4000. I'm not working during school so I can focus on my studies. If the case is that you're too young for a job, then ask you parents for an allowance or save up your birthday money. Otherwise, as the others said, complaining will get you nowhere :)

You all realize once you get a job, you won't actually have time to play games any more. Life is rough!lvbeto
my boyfriend and i both have jobs 40+ hours a week, and both have full time college classes and have time for video games. thats what the time after work is for! You can always find time for the things you enjoy!
Here's what I did, this year is crazy with all the awesome titles coming out. And although i'm looking, I don't have a job yet and probably won't for a bit. So I compiled a list of priority games and the ones i'm mildly interested in. Here is my list:
Fable II - Oct. 21 - Rent
Far Cry 2 - Oct. 21 - Rent/Buy
Fallout 3 - Oct. 28 - Buy
Gears of War 2 - Nov. 7 - Buy
007 Quantum of Solace - Nov. 4 - Rent
EndWar - Nov. 4 - Rent
Call of Duty 5 - Nov. 11 - Rent/Buy
Mirror's Edge - Nov. 11 - Rent/Buy
Left 4 Dead - Nov. 17 - Buy
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - Nov. 16 - Rent
Tomb Raider: Underworld - Nov. 18 - Rent
Prince of Persia - Dec. 2 - Rent/Buy
Shellshock 2: Blood Trails - Dec. 2 - Rent
Rent = I'll rent it but probably won't buy it.
Rent/Buy = I'll rent it and maybe buy it in the future or immediately if I really like the game.
Buy = Confirmed purchase.

I completely agree with your list...just rent games, alot of them (personally) can be done in a week...
If there is a big list of games that you want, pick one of the longer games (free-roaming RPG like Fallout) or one with strong multiplayer (Gears 2, COD), buy that and stick with it until you finish it or get bored. Only then start looking to buy another game off your list. Keep doing that, rather than rushing to buy stuff day 1, and by the time you get round to buying some of them they will have started falling in price.
Then of course there are Christmas present, and then the after Christmas sales where you can pick up the stuff you didn't get.
