What level are you guys around? And do you play on a slim?

Yeah, I'm probably looking at either that or the Uncharted 3 bundle. I want a 320GB model too, and while the 160GB model with All 4 One and LBP2 is tempting (I already have LBP2), I don't have as much interest in All 4 One as Uncharted 3 or Infamous 2.

Ah, I love Black Friday deals and it isn't even Friday yet. Got Shattered Dimensions, Ico/SotC Collection, Dark Souls and Sonic Generations for around $100 total.

Happy Thanksgiving to all those in the states!

So in others news I went back over this year purchases and I have purchased 19 new PS3 retail games and 7 PSN games in 2011 and I am done for the year.
This has been the year with the most purchases since the start of the gen.
Who said this gen was over ?

I bought 11 PS3 retail games this year before black friday.
And I got black friday deals on Resistance 3, RAGE and AC Revelations so make that 14 retail games for the year. Last year I think I bought about the same, possibly 1-2 more.

And I could see myself buying just as many games next year... its looking great too. But this generation might be wrapping up faster than Sony wants if Microsoft has their way and releases a new console at the end of 2012. Sony will be forced to release a new console by 2013 at the latest to keep up and avoid falling too far behind in install base and also to appease 3rd party developers so they can easily port new games across both systems. Devs will need to because games will likely become more expensive to make and on the consumer side we might see prices increase to $70 US. Hopefully the price increase doesn't happen.

Well I lied.

I just grabbed 2 more games off Amazon Cybermonday week deals.

Vanquished and Enslaved Odyssey to the West.

I'm not too worried about the prices of next gen games as the last 5 games I purchased on release day cost me a whooping 37$ each once I factor the cash back thanks to best Buy preorder deal and Rewards zone .

Although I have to admit we were not seeing the kind of deal we see now when the generation was younger...( it's becoming common to see titles down to 40$ 1 month after their release now).

11? 19? I'm up to 64 PS3 games purchased or received free this year, not counting anything PSN related. Should have 2 more freebies coming next week too.

13 on the year for me. Unfortunately a lot of my purchases are release day purchases, meaning paying a full $60 for them.

Now that I've started working full time while trying to finish up masters part time, I have a lot less time for games, and I really should wait for price drops before buying games. Backlog from RPGs early next year should help (FF13-2 and Ni no Kuni).

Which begs a question for the busy people: how do you manage your backlog? Do you guys finish games 1 by 1, or do you just play what you feel like playing most at the time?

@chenguo - I usually like to finish games 1 by 1 especially if they have a story. I don't like to play 2 story heavy games at the same time cause of the breaks in flow of the story. If I play a sports game and an RPG at the same time then thats fine.

Hrrmm... make that 65. Killzone 3 Helghast Edition for 25 bucks. You win, Best Buy.
