How the hell am I suppose to afford all of these games?

Um I think you guys accidently got lost. This is Giantbomb. First World Problems is http://www.reddit.com/r/firstworldproblems/

go 50/50 on every game with a friend and play em..

If you really want to get the games near release, try using eBay... I just bought L.A. Noire two weeks ago and it saved me $17... Tax in my county is 10% so buying a new game in stores at $60 come out to be $67. That's too much for me, so I went to eBay and still got the game sealed.

Sorry for sounding spoilt but £200-£300 is not that much really...

Don't buy every game?

whore yourself out?

Who said you have to buy all of them. Just pick one or two.

Job or sell off a console, that will give you some money for buying the games.

Cheap ass gamer helps out.

Got the same feeling, there's so many good games coming out in the months to come and i'd be gutted if i couldnt get all of them. But it's so expensive!

I save up gift cards over the year. I usually get most of the new games I want at a great price.
 
- I get Amazon gift cards for spending money on Amazon.
- I get Best Buy gift cards for using my bank check card as Visa transactions
- I buy games I really want on Amazon that offer money off of future purchases, then turn around and apply them to games I really want. Because I purchased L.A. Noire, I'm getting Arkham City for $37.  
- I get gift cards for my birthday, father's day (though my children are three cats), and Christmas. I save them for the end of the year.
 
This year is going to be challenging, however. Batman, Skyrim, Uncharted, Zelda, God of War Origins, Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection, Metal Gear Solid Collection, Zone of Enders Collection. Geez. I know for sure I'll be getting the first four games in that list, but I'd like to get them all at launch. I guess I can wait for the collections.

Simply put, you don't.  Wait until the games you want to drop in price and pick them up next year.
