Well, for those strapped for cash (time is another matter entirely), so was I. Until I devised a strategy as cunning as Jayne's hat! Not that I have anything against a kidney-less Registered Companion, but that's besides the point.
First, I said to myself "I'm not going to ride the bus this year. I think I'll ride my bike, or walk instead (Green=Cheap, but TRENDY)." Lo and behold, the money that I wasn't spending on bus passes was thus not being spent. Twelve months of this, plus taking advantage of deals allowed me to purchase each console without hurting my budget in the slightest. I even had extra money to fend off a bunch of scary alcoholic bums. This can also be done with other non-essentials like cigarettes, alcohol and food. Okay, that was a joke. Some games are better with three drunk friends provided they don't smash your tv during an epic game of Mario Party like mine did.
As for games, I simply picked up the ones they didn't have, and when I was finished, we'd swap 'em, loan 'em out. Like we did back in the day. Furthermore, we decided to avoid new releases so that we could get games when they were cheaper, some even in the discount bin. Toss in deals at EB Games and other stores and we have more games than we know what to do with without bankrupting ourselves in the process.
And rentals don't hurt either. But hey, my strategy doesn't work for everybody. But being a smart buyer and having friends with diverse tastes in gaming really goes a long way.
