Forums - Gaming - How often do you buy games and who buys them for you.

Valkyria00 on 24 July 2008

Im only able to buy ONE new game every couple of months. And I buy them with my own money.

Ive seen some people with 50+ games and the only way I think you can have that many is by either saving them throughout the years or being "spoiled." (Sorry thats for lack of a better term)

If  you work Im sure you have to pay bills and what not and cant spend so much money on games.

This also goes to people who bitch about no new games. If you havent played whats already out there why do you care about what coming out. By the time you played all the games that are already released new big titles will have already been announced/released.

Edit - Just to point out Im 16 and recently got hired. Ive seen some posts talking about how old they think I am and stuff.:P

I usually get games for Christmas & Birthday, but outside of those, I do chores for money.

I buy them myself...as many as I want each month. I have a fickle gaming taste though so I don't buy that many games!

The title of this thread really shows your age...

Anyway, I buy games when I see them discounted. I could buy 10 games at once, if they are "cheap enough". :D

Dont buy games so often depends on which one i want and when the release is and buy the games myself.

I work and I teach piano on the side. The money I make teaching piano funds my gaming habits and allows me to purchase at least 1 game per month depending on if I go new or used, or even new discounted games.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I buy my own games as and when I want.

I buy them myself, how many/often depends on the price and what's out. I rarely buy full price games, and look for deals like Zack and Wiki last week for $8 or on e-bay.

I usually buy them myself, but sometimes my parents buy them for me. I get about 4-6 a month depending on how many I want. Most of the money I get from my parents, or merchanting on ebay. I am starting a Job soon(hopefully) so I am planning on buying more. Most of the time I buy older games used though. THe only games I really buy new are the ones that I get the first day or first week.
