Im category 2, limited. I work on the weekends literally all day, but still make a very nice amount! So I save up and buy games that I want. I plan to upgrade my Pc when The Witcher 3 comes because my Pc now (I7 @ 3.5ghz, MSI 680 lightning edition) pretty much runs every game at ultra still. However I do not purchase many consoles. I try to keep it to one handheld and one console, which both happen to be the Ps4 and Vita. However, I am debating saving up for either a 3ds or Wii U >_> or just start saving for a 780ti for TW3 right now...

I can afford 3/4 games, PS Plus and about $60 worth of DLC a year. When I need something like a new controller or mic I get in trouble money wise. Already bought the PS4 on launch with AC4 and Ghosts ($10 upgrade), when my mic broke my mom had to buy if for me. FFS FML.



Until 2012 I was category 4 only that my mom wasn't too generous XD and for that reason my collection is smaller that most people here I think BUT now things have changed and I bought a playstation 3 by myself ha ha I think I'm somewhere between category 2 and 3.



Category 5 most of the time, I don't really have a lot of money to use for games, at least I have a huge backlog so I'll be busy for a while.



1. Limitless.
That being said though, I don't have some mad PC or tons of games/consoles etc as I don't think they are worth it/I would rather save the money then get 1000+ fps on a game or pay £400 for a console to pay further £50 for games which I've pretty much already played over the last 15 years.



Around the Network

I fit into category 1: Limitless.

I buy all consoles and purchase any game I want to play for them. I try not to spend over $200 a month but sometimes spend more.

Most of my cash has gone to Wii U so far with 136 games, none of them are used. The one used game I bought for Wii U was 007 legends and the disc doesn't work. I will be repurchasing the game new.

PS4 9 games and Xbox One 4 games, none of them used.

PS3 34 games all purchased new. Xbox 360 166 games, 156 of them purchased new, the others were gifted to me by my gf and some friends.



I voted for 'constrained', but if we follow the description literally, it's not my thing either. I don't exactly have to sell games or hardware even though I have to be very careful about how I spend my money.



In between Limited and Constrained. I can get anything I want but I try not to waste any money. On average I usually spend $50 a month on gaming.

Limited I guess? I mean I generally pick up 1 game a month.



PSn - greencactaur
Nintendo Switch FC - SW - 5152 - 6393 - 5140 Please feel free to add me :)

Limitless but I am constrained by time and my other hobbits ( I spend a lot more on comics than on games( A LOT MORE)).

I do not resell my games and do not buy used games but I do bargain hunt.
