The Video Game Industry is Shooting me in the Chest

So it looks like it's going to be another great year for gaming. I just started putting together my holiday purchasing plan.
Coming up' i'll be buying Too Human. I liked Eternal Darkness enough to buy this blind regardless of reviews, but I'm actually kind of scared I wont like it. I hope there's a deep story in there. $60
Then Fable 2, I did a lot of Artificial Intelligence programming and research in college. (Not for games more science oriented.) But Peter Molyneux's games always had really interesting more sim oriented AI that I find compelling. 2 x $60 = $120
Fallout 3; I didn't play the earlier Fallouts. But the premise is appealing; Oblivion with guns and a sense of humor. You had me at hello. 3 x $60 = $180
Gears of War 2; I feel like if you own an xbox you have to buy it. I know all of my friends will be playing gears; it's just part of the whole live thing. Oh and it looks effin' awesome. 4 x $60 = $240
If Mirror's Edge gets 4 or more stars from The Giant Bomb guys, I'll buy it. I want to play the whole thing without a gun. That just sounds awesome. Total $280
For my wii, I think the only Item that interests me is the Blob game. at least it'll probably only be 50 bucks. $340
And those are just the big ones. I'll probably end up buying Viva Pinata 2 and the new Banjo game for another $120. (It's weird that Rare's coming out with two games in a year.) Maybe saints row. I hope I don't buy Rock Band 2 but I might not be able to help myself. Oh god and Prince of Persia. Where does it end!!! That brings the total to $520
And then there's the download stuff. Portal for sure, hopefully some Metal Gear content, or the Microsoft GTA stuff. I'd also drop another $20 for a penny arcade game. And on the PS3 flower looks awesome. And I know some other games will show their heads on XBLA So I'm going to be at around $600 this season.
Maybe I should get a game fly account.
