I love gaming. Its a passion of mine that will probably determine with career I have in about two years. I also enjoy anime and the occasional figurine. What I don't enjoy is paying for all this shit. I've definably picked some of the most expensive hobbies. So after doing some calculations on all the games and game accessories I want after E3 I felt like shooting myself. I can't believe I spend so much money on games alone.

Okay lets get started. This is a list of all the games and accessories I plan on purchasing this winter (games released now till December 31st).



Too Human = Just kidding this game is shit.



Tales of Vesperia = $60



Mercenaries 2 = $60



Stupid Fucking Title = $60



Rock Band 2 = $60



Star Wars The Force Unleashed EXTRTEME!1! = $60



Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway Limited Edition (360 Version) = $70



50 SQUARE KILOMETERS!! = $60



Fallout 3 Collector's Edition = $80



Aliens: Colonial Marines = $60



Bad Box Art = $60



Fable 2 Limited Edition = $80



Left 4 Dead = $60



Gears of War 2 Limited Edition = $70



I came = $60



Cooking Mama Underworld = $60



Prince of Persia = $60



The Last Remnant = $60



Second coming of Jesus = $60



Alan Wake (this is probably not coming out this year but you never know) = $60



WHY THE FUCK IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS GAME! = $60



Ion Drums Made From Win = Your Soul, which is worth $300



Rock Band 2 Special Edition Fender Guitar = ...I'm not sure but I'm gonna say about $200.



Playstation 3 with nonstick surface = $400



Disgaea 3 = $50 (unless there is a limited edition in which cause that bitch is mine)



Little Big Planet = $60



Resistance 2 = $60



Valkyria Chronicles = $60 FOR A PSP GAME WTF!!


Obviously there are more 360 games I would buy than PS3 games. That's because I prefer the 360 controller and its Live system. Also I'm not taking into account the back log of PS3 games I would buy like Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid 4. This list also doesn't include all the download content and down loadable games I would get. So STFU before you post OMG 360 FANBOI!1!



Chrono Trigger DS = $40



All Other DS Games = A spot in hell.



All PSP games = Custom Firmware 3.90 M33 :D I <3 Dark Alex.


Holy shit. the grand total comes out to:

$2430 (not including tax T_T)
The worst (or best) part I don't think I could remove any of those games off my list. Of course I'm not going to buy all of these but I will eventually try to own all of them. And they say piracy is wrong. With these prices its hard to imagine their are so many gamers. Seriously though game industry stop unloading so many games at once. You need to find a balance. Don't go the Nintendo route but stop spraying your whole load on us during winter.

I feel your pain. I once bought Steel Battalion. I guess we can just hope that some of these games pull and Assassins Creed of a Kane and Lynch.

Dude ... have you thought about the time sink that all of that entails? I'm not sure you will have to really worry about buying all of those games because you won't have time to actually play them all.

If you don't have time to play them all it honestly seems like a huge waste of money, unless you just enjoy supporting the developers.

yep, a ton of games coming out before the end of the year. But when it starts to get too much, that's when Gamefly will come into play.

@City of Metronome:

No one's talking about it because there hasn't been much word since 2005. I certainly didn't hear anything about a 2008 release. All I know is they've got some new funding and a publisher (finally). I don't think the game is even close to completion yet.

Bonus: Checked their website (Tarsier Studios) just now and found that they're apparently working on a "Super Secret PSN" title. Yay?

Or you could wait until they drop in price. By then you'll find that most of them aren't worth your time anyways, and you save yourself a couple grand.

But ahhhh, patience, such an elusive vixen!

@Heretic - The reason why no one is talking about "The City of Metronome" is because it hasn't been seen since 2005. The fact that you even mentioned it is astounding to me.

Seriously, Tarsier (the people making it) haven't even updated their site in 3 years.

I agree... It's good thing I'm a retro gamer because I can't afford this crap! For the price of 3 or 4 games I could buy a new console! I do think it's funny that Chrono Trigger DS is cheaper than what the actual SNES game sells for, haha.

At the end of this year, I'm gonna go buy all the games that I missed out on that came out in the past year, when their prices have finally gone down. That's how I save on money. Small price to pay for being late to everything, but worth it.

Also, can you imagine how much more money you'd have if you didn't have a videogame obsession? Like seriously go back through all the past years and add up the cost? I'm afraid to even think about it.

Wow, seriously.

DaedHead what made you buy that ridiculously priced game!

Metronome's not coming out this year, which I've bitched about in the blogs plenty of times. SOMEONE JUST PUBLISH THIS FUCKING GAME!

Also, LBP is a PSN game... not 60 bucks.

oh... well, I'm still on 3.8 I believe? There's been no real reason to upgrade, everything works, and nothing major has been added.

@Cobra - LBP is a Blu-ray release. I might be getting a PSN release, but it is being billed as a physical media release first and foremost.

With boxart and everythin!

Also, I'm pretty sure it's going to be 60.00

Like others have said, use Gamefly! Use it for the ones you're not too sure you want to buy.

Buy one at a time and, if you can run them, some on PC, they're cheaper :).

I've spent almost $300 on Magic cards in the last two months and about $200 in materials for cosplaying. Being a geek is a kick in the balls.

@Brainderailmemt

I hear XBL bans most modded 360s.

Also, that is insane, I thought my plans to buy an arcade stick for Wii and 360, plus about 3 release day games and 2 games already out was ambitious. Then again, I don't have a job.
