How big is your backlog before you stop buying new games?

[Michael-5]

My backlog is something like 100 games, but I'll always keep buying new games. I'm just going to be more picky with new games while I work down my old ones. However there are just some games you have to get day 1.

I have about 20 PSP games, 15 DS games, 6 or 7 GBA games, 1 GBC game, about 35 360 games, 20 PS3 games, 20 Wii games, 6 or 7 CB games, 5 GCN games, 30 PS2 games,  6 or 7 DC games, 1 N64 game, 15 PS1 games, and about 5 or 6 SNES games in my backlog now. That's wow 188 games or so in my backlog, but I have no plans to finish them all anytime soon. They are more or less there for options for games to play next.

However I kinda understand my taste in games now (JRPG, Racing, Adventure, Shooter), and I know what minimum quality I should set my bar at (Don't get meh games like Altier and Nier) so I have time to beat everything. Plus I'm not no hurry to beat games like Grandia, Front Mission 3, Chrono Cross, Shadow Hearts, Crisis Core: FFVII, FFXII, etc.

As for new games, like I said I'm going to be more picky. Going to get Gears of War Judgement maybe in fall, when I can find a copy for no more then $30, and I'll probably pick up InFamous 2 and Uncharted 3 while I'm at it for no more then $20 each. Pandora's Tower I have pre-ordered and.....maybe I'll get MGR: Revengence this fall too, but not for more then $20. I might get a 3DS XL if they make a redesign (I need a bettery bettery and better colour options), and if I do I'll get Super Mario 3D Land, Tales of the Abyss 3D and Luigi's Mansion 2 (I already own Fire Emblem), but yea....

I have lots to catch up on, and I'm too cheap to spend $60 on a game.

The next game I plan to purchase at full price, day 1 is X (Wii U). When that releases, I'll likely get a Wii U.
