Man with all these new games coming out, it is putting a huge dent in my wallet. Froza 3, Modern Warefare 2, Dragon Age, Fallout 3 GOTY, Assassins Creed 2, Left 4 Dead 2... Ugh 360 bucks on video games the last month and half pretty much. Not including tax.

Not only that, when the hell do I have time for all these. Ugh why must all good games come out now! lol

Anyone else on the same boat as me?

not me, you see I dont have an uncontrollable urge to play as many of the new releases as quickly and as soon as possible.

Just be patient, buy what you can afford, play them (they will last you) then buy what else you want as and when you can afford them, infact they may be cheaper after a month or two!

I dont see why everyone has to play so many games at once,,,,

So true - I've learnt I just need self control, and only buy games not just when I can afford them, but when I have the time to play them. If I'm already halfway through a game I like to complete it first before moving onto another game. That said I did just get Dragon Age Origins and MW2, and really want to get some others like Borderlands. Here's hoping for some good time off over Christmas :)

Yeah I see I am not the only one then..hahaha.

Time is the biggest issue. I work the usual 40hrs a week so when I get home I get some time with the games in, but with so many games I want to play, I just cant make the time for them all. It really sucks because a few of these games I really love. Its just too hard.

Money isn't a huge issue, but when I think about it, I nearly dropped almost 400 bucks on video games. Ouch.

thats why games need to be cheaper

60 bucks a pop is wayy too much

considering that actual manufacturing costs are very little(not including development), they shouldnt cost nearly as much

Buy older games or wait for sales. Anyway with the upcoming Black Friday I'll probably take off a little chunk of games that I want.

Yep. I've bought 7 360 games since the end of September and numerous other games spanning across other platforms. It's crazy. Luckily I have a well-paying job and live alone so I can afford to splurge every now and then. Wish I wasn't so alone though...

I was able to buy Brutal Legend just by sitting on a street corner with my electric guitar playing for about 4-5 hours. Try that? Haha.

xbox live used to prevent me from doing so

people have a tendency not to want to play older games online after new ones come out in quick succession, and u HAVE to follow your friends lol

i hate how A) many of my active friends on live are jobless and B) a lot of them are spoiled as hell

that crap pisses me off

I know what you mean. There are still games from a good few months ago, that aren't in my collection. With the release of Episodes from Liberty City recently, I might as well whistle for the likes of Prototype and Batman AA. :? I'm not even gonna mention MW2 or Dragon Age: Origin. It's not a good look.

right here. what's the point of buying all those games at once, you even said yourself you don't have time for them all. Just wait till you're ready to buy the next game

With G*y Tony, Dragon Age, MW2 and AC2 this month, I'm probably just gonna get Fallout 3 GOTY next month, and that'll be it until Mass Effect 2 or some other big release.
