Hey all
With my recent decision (yay!) to get more things and be more decisive than I have been previously, I was wandering what ammount of games a month you all buy? What do you consider to be accpetable for somebody working and who saves money and pays their bills and was to use the remainder for luxuries?
Anyway discuss
What is the most games in a month you have bought?
Is this new games only because I tend to buy multiple older games in bundles of 5 or 6 for around the £30 mark... It really ups my games bought per month when I do. :P
Usually it would be 1-2 games per month depending on whats been coming out and how good the reviews are for those games.
In 2008, just on the Wii, I bought 36 games. There is 3 a month just there. Add to that, 25 DSgames, 16 PS2 games, 2 Xbox games, 17 PC games, 3 PSP games and that would make 99 games or 8 games a month.

Well I dont mind people posting either as long as they state which. I tend to go for Xbx 360 titles when they drop bellow the magic £20 price point (I have got one or two for more than that but GRID was the last one I did this with last summer).

I also work, get a decent wage, pay all my bills and support a family of 4. It is also my prime hobby."
Does that include Christmas time? I've spent a lot more at that time of the year than during the rest. Some are gifts, some are for me. But, not counting gifts or turning in giftcards, the most I've bought in a month is 3, maybe 4. Since I am a Gamefly subscriber, I don't do that anymore. And, when I was hooked on WOW, I bought maybe 2 games a year.
"I buy games in bulk, meaning I usually get alot of games at once so they last me longer, rather than buying one, beating it and buying another.
I think usually, will buy about 4 games at a time, all for different systems.
I do this about once every two months.

Do you mean 4 games per system or 4 in total?

Yeah, thats usually when I get the most games but I think I will spread this out more as I have missed some good games in the past by not really getting any over the summer time. I also plan to try and stick to rule of not getting a game over £20 ($25-30 US maybe?) so I can get more for my money and take a risk or two with different genres etc.
back in school when i had less money going out, i usually bought a new game or used every week.
Most i bought at once is when my elite came back from microsoft, i got about 5 games, 2 new 3 used.

For example, I would buy two 360 games, a Wii game and a game for DS.
Though the most games I ever bought at once was 6, when the Wii first came out.
I try to get around 1 game a month, or 60 bucks worth, be it 2 DS games, a Wii and Used old PS3 game, or any other combination.
Last Fall though I averaged around 4 PS3 games per month, man so many good games came out then.
"Probably about 6-7 I really dont know. "It's probably around there for me too. It's hard to tell though, because I don't keep track of when I bought all my games.
As many as 15 within some months, but not all of them will be new. On average I usually get around 3-4 new games, per month.
Last month actually. I bought Fallout3 and then all 4 previous Splinter Cell games from ebay. 5 is the most that I can ever recall buying.
"As many as 15 within some months, but not all of them will be new. On average I usually get around 3-4 new games, per month.Same, I buy many old used games.
"
I bought 13 during a Summer a few years back so, averaging it out, makes it to about 4 and 1/3 per month.
I bought 9 games for $80 last December at an FYE that was going out of business. Professor Layton, Wipeout Pulse, and Oddworld Stanger's Wrath were the highlights.
