Forums - Gaming - October 22 to Nov 20--The month my wallet breaks

Yup.  This will finally be the year that video games offically make me bankrupt.  All of these titles come out during that month only a couple are a day 1 purchase for me, but I bet I'll pick them all up before the year is over.  I'll be buying the fully equipped version of Guitar Hero World Tour too, so that adds even more money sucking to factor in. 

I knew it would be bad, but i didnt know it would be this bad.  All together they add up to close to $1,000 American... Good thing I'll have games to distract me from eating, because with all of these I'm not so sure I'll be able to afford to both game and eat.

Day 1 buys: Fallout 3, Left4Dead

Must buys but can maybe wait a week: GoW2, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, Guitar Hero: World Tour

Will wait for reviews but will probably buy anyway: Far Cry 2, CoD: WaW (possibly wii version), Mirrors Edge, Prince of Persia, Fable 2

Also considering:  Lips, Sonic Unleashed, Shaun White Snowboarding (Wii Version), MK v. DC, LOTR Conquest

If i had a PS3 yet there are others I could add to that list.  To go that far would definitely put my wallet on life support though.

Fable 2 will be awesome.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

i tend to take my time on games, so i'll be skipping a few. but my must haves from this date are:

LBP, Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2 and Gears of War 2 and Rock band (don't have the money for it yet). anything else is up in the air for me.




Pfft, light wieght. I have a good computer and a PS3 too, So I have to get somehow all the PS3 and computer games coming out too, Spore, Empire Total War, Dawn of War II, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2 and all that good stuff added to what I have to get for the 360.

Im going to need a loan or something.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

um....how you do guys find the time to play all those games?...anyway my pockets are already hurting because of all those damn books i had to buy for school

Damn. I hope Fable 2 comes to PC so I can play it. No XBox 360.

*sob sob*

The PS3 lineup is going to kill me too.



Retail (definetly getting):
Mirror's Edge, Prince of Persia, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Tom Clancy's EndWar, Soul Calibur IV, Dead Space, Rise of the Argonauts, Far Cry 2, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Retail (possibly):
Siren: Blood Curse, Grand Theft Auto 4, Heavenly Sword, Fracture, Saint's Row 2

On my Christmas/birthday wishlist:
BioShock, Call of Duty: World at War, Alone in the Dark (depending on reviews)

PSN (definetly getting):
Flower, Bionic Commando: Rearmed.

I haven't moved away from home yet, and have actually been saving for games this year, bbut even so, you can trust me, when I say that I feel your pain. The only relieve for me is that I am going to the US this fall, so I will be getting a lot of these games for cheap (60$ = cheap compared to EU/Denmark).

Assuming I buy all the games from retail and PSN I have marked at an average price of 60$ (games cost an average of ~110$ where I live, so the PSN games even it out a little with possibly cheaper games as well) I am at 1100$+
Sooooo much money :(

EDIT: Come to think about it, I should probably move a bit of those games to my wishlist xP



Only good thing is Wii has no buyable games this fall, just need to get GoW2 and some Ps3 games, R2, LBP, Naruto:Ultimate storm, Maybe Banjo for the kids if it gets good reviews



Systems owned: NES, SNES, N64, PS1, PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox360

Waiting for: FFXIII, GoW3, GT5, Mass Effect 2
