| DevilRising said: LOL Good Christ. I'm really not sure how some folks can afford to own every console in a given generation, let alone buy a cumulative total of 100/200/300 physical retail games for them. Must have some seriously rich folks here, or else they put most of their budget towards gaming and live off of top ramen.  |
Nah. It's not hard. A full priced console isn't even a third of my paycheck. Then there's the buy two get one free sales or, even better, the buy one get one free sales. Lots of times, you can find a game you had your eye on for $20 or less. And then there was the video stores that were going out of business so you could buy like ten games for $50. Over 7 years (more if you include the DS), and buying a couple games a month and getting a few as gifts per year, things build up quickly. I could spend a couple hundered dollars on a date or a dinner and not think twice about it. I did it a lot. Pissed me off sometimes because, when that meal was done, it was done. At least when I buy a game, I still have that game for years--sometimes decades later.
Gotta have restraint, though. Like a kid in a candy store, you can't just buy everything you see. You'll miss out on what's really important in life. I really toned it down in 2013 and stopped trying to buy everything. I only buy what I want to play, now. I woud have been one of those playing a PS4 right now but I think I've matured a bit.
