Here is my list....
This includes other people than myself!!!

$20=Sonic AR (Wii U)+ NSMB2! Buy 1 get1 50% off
$85=NSMBU and clothes! Old Navy's pay $40 worth of clothes get NSMBU free! (best deal)
$80=3DS XL with MK7 (BEST BUY had it for $159.99)
$24=AC3+ZombiU buy1 Get1 40% off

Thats $200 right there! Im sure i did more but cant remember lol!



The biggest catches I made were the Far Cry Complete Pack with Far Cry, Far Cry 2 Fortunes Edition and Far Cry 3 Deluxe Edition for 6,75€ and a Borderlands 2 Fourpack for 4,65€. All in all I bought stuff worth around 500€ (not MSRP but "normal" prices at this years christmas) and payed around 150€ according to my calculations.

 

An example for the prices I used to compare, I bought Nintendo Land for 31,20€ (the most expensive single game I bought this year). To blow up the 500€ number even more I could have used the 59,99€ MSRP, but I compared it to the Amazon.de price at that time which was 47,95€. Same with all the Indie games I bought. The Humble Bundle 7 was a huge saving even comparing it to the steam winter sale prices.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

The only thing I consider saving is money not spent so...



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Yes, one was a Gamestop pricing mistake and the other was a Gamersgate one. Other good deals I had were 2 keys of Sleeping Dogs for about 5€ each and Scribblenauts Unlimited for 5,70€ is pretty sweet too, considering that the game only releases in two months over here.

Well I saved $100 on a computer monitor (which I use for my 360 because the graphics are about ten times better than on my 1080p HDTV), about $200 on games, about $40 on X-mini speakers, and $30 on a 360 headset. I'm sure I saved on a few other things as well.
