It's been clearly stated, get a job. It's the only solution. Or beg your parents for money.

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!

I'm 15 and I feel your pain man. No job here yet so I've had to rely on babysitting, which doesn't get you too far. I've got the money ready to pick up GH: World Tour and GoW2 and thats really all I need this year but there's so many others I'd love to pick up :(

When I was 13 I went and got a job at a greenhouse. Hard freaking work but I was getting as many hours as I could get and that was making me enough money to buy all of the stuff I wanted through high school.

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 :)

Just wait for price drops. $60 for a game is silly anyway. Just decide on one new game for now or catch up on some older games you never got around to playing.

You all realize once you get a job, you won't actually have time to play games any more. Life is rough!

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.

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.
