2012 Purchase List -
- Theatrrythm (270kr)
- Virtue's Last Reward (270kr)
- Mask of Miracle (350kr)
- Pokémon White (300kr)
- Eshop (300kr)
- 3D Land (400kr)
=

1890kr = about 300 USD

This year will be a bitch, with Wii U purchase, probably Layton, Wind Waker HD, MH3U and Pokémon. I will delay my purchases of other games. So this year about -
4500kr = much more than last year. (710 USD)


Hmm, if I were to do a list like this, I spent about $250 in 2012.

However, some of the games I got were gifts, had discounts, were paid by giftcards or store credit, etc.  

If I were to say how much I WOULD have paid without all of that, it would be well over $400.  I got lots of good deals in 2012.

With gifts and stuff then my total amount of money spent would have been more. I think that I may be miscalculating the Eshop, I remember buying a Eshop card thi year but not if I bought two.

Concerning this  year with gifts then the amount of money spent should be lower than 710USD, since I'm going to split the price for Wii U.

Available time to play is my only limit.


This. I calculated that this means about $1,600 a year.



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

Realistically its about £250 per year, it may change drastically this year though depending on next gen :)

Its normally around a 60/40 split between my 360/Vita.

Including birthdays, christmas etc. I probably spend around £500 per year.



Just a nice person :)

none.. the only limit is my gf... who is looking mad at a mountain of games still shrink wrapped (25plus)... I actually have hidden 15 games or so out of sight.. and tend to run to my mailbox when a new game drops in and hopes she didn't see it.. she's also annoyed at the amount of sneakers that I have.. but I don't think 12 pair which I wear regulary is a lot...

WTF dude?? o0

It sounds like she rules over your life...Obviously I don't know anything about her, but do you feel comfortable living with a person that don't accept your hobbies, how you spend your money and how you live your life?

I also live together with my gf and of course there are compromisses to be made. But I think it's your business how many games you buy (as long as you don't play the whole time and don't have any time left for your gf) and how many sneakers do you have...

Does she also have hobbies that annoy you and she isn't able to practice how she'd like to?

I think she more annoyed of the amount of stuff that I have.. she doesn't forbid me to play games... she is more annoyed that I buy them, and then not play them, because I don't have time... and then buying a new one which I don't play.. they all end up into a big big pile of unplayed games...
I think she actually lend some of my unwrapped games to her younger brother...

But she makes a killer sandwich <3 and that's the most important thing..

I rarely buy games at full price, I'm not sure there is a limit either. I buy every game I want per year and lately I've bought too many, because I just feel overwhelmed and can't sit down and play through them and enjoy them. It's more about finishing them because I bought them as opposed to enjoying them.
