Gaming Budget?
Gaming aint cheap. How do you guys move money around for it or do you? Ive been buying low, trading in towards high. I guess I dont feel the need to get every new game out there on release day but if something interests me I usually have a stack of cheap ones to dent its price.

Two games a year. Birthday. Christmas. Unless something really special comes up, I rarely need anything more.

I have worked to little recently to be able to buy all that I want. But I think it through before I get something so my money don't go to waste. But usually I can get whatever I want.
I don't buy video games because they all suck and are a waste of money.
ignore this post

I don't like trading/selling games, unless after beating them I wasn't impressed with it. In terms of new games so few take my interest, that if one does come along I generally just go and buy it. but then that's only because I work for a company that pay way over what my job should pay, because they tend to head hunt people instead of asking people to apply etc.
I don't buy new games very often. I mostly buy when the prices have gone down or when games go on sale on Steam.
The only game that I know that I will buy on release and in full price will probably be GTA5. Other than that I don't know.
I'm loaded, I get every game there is.
3 fucking amazing games coming out this year, company of heroes 2, wargame airland battle and rome 2 total war. I'm a sucka for strategy
Right on. Yeah, Im usually tired of the ones I trade in. Trade in deals are your best bet though if youve got things you arent playing. I walked out with 80$ just trading in games worth more than 3$ something like 15 games total. thats about 50% extra.
I know if I trade in a game, I will want to play it again.
Still own all my games. PS3, 360, PS2 and even still have all my PS1 and Sega Megadrive games.
Not many games I feel I have to get recently. This year is an exception though. Watch Dogs, GTAV, and the a next gen console I'm not decided on which one yet.
buy both you know you want too! lol
I feel shitty for buying dead island riptide. For me the only thing that makes the game worth it for me is th glitches guns people are already making and I haven't even played he story. Just looking for modded guns and weapons.
Other than that gtaV is the only game I'm getting. No more call of shit either,
And battlefield 4.
Now that I think about it
I'm only getting bf4 and gtaV
All other games are just waste of time for me, I get them and I just can't finish em
They aren't intriguing enough
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
I've done stuff I'm not willing to do again...until a new game is out.

I have a copy of BF3 that I never play because I've finished the campaign and online doesn't like me. I still have my limited edition code so I think that might increase the value a bit and set me up for GTA V, which I've preordered and paid 50%. I've got a spare $50 which will get me the preowned copies of GT5 and OG, but I have no idea how I'm gonna be able to afford Watch Dogs.

Because Iam rich bitch!!!
Crazy man.
If I hadn't started doing trade ins I probably wouldn't have ended up here.
Traded in PS2, got xbox later.. migration to broken white xboxes.. found OG skate demo, played the game, got it.
I'd probably still be doing the tony hawk thing.
I could NEVER trade in a game. I collect them at this point if I'm not going to play them again. You just simply can't get back what it's really worth nowadays, and there will always be some day that you feel like playing it again.

You got me thinking after reading this and decided to dig out my old games consoles from my loft (attic). I found the usual suspects N64, SNES and Megadrive, but I also found my Atari Jaguar!
The Jaguar isn't something you're supposed to admit to having. :V

Nothing wrong with the Jaguar.
