Nope I will end buying the same amount than last year because every year a week before Christmas I spent $200 in retail games... I will go to the shop next week for that and I have to choose some games between all I want.

And this year I bought more digital games than last year... look my list in the previous post.



The next year I have five day one buy...

BioShock Infinite
God of War Ascension
The Last of Us
Beyond: Two Souls
Kingston Heart HD Collection

I expect a huge retail shopping next year... better than this and last year.



i don't think so. There is probably a lot of ps3 games selling extremely well on psn. Sony says psn sales has been going up and i think that is because of ps+. So i think ps+ is actually helping Sony not hurting them.



Some of these games are actually all right, and it may encourage people to buy the DLC. I bought the DLC for Borderlands after getting it free for instance. Otherwise, I would not have bothered with it since I thought BL wasn't my kind of game. Most of them are just 'filler' games for me and they won't keep me from purchasing games I want day 1.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS
