Updated it again. Potential to the best year for gaming.

Why do I have the feeling that next year will be expensive than this year? :lol:

Looking at Suzz's list of games for next year, there's no more than 6 that I'm bothered about (although, when the time comes I'll fall for all the hype again and buy some that I had no previous interest in :fp:

)

Is this thread going to get Stickied like last year?

Put me down for £300

Although this is more as a means of seeing how much I spend than an actual budget

I'll PM one of Mods to get it stickied once it's Jan 2010, unless mod is reading this and doesn't mind sticking this earlier, go ahead

Hmmm... Would it be cheating if I participated? :wub:

I don't see how it can be cheating, so go ahead if you want to join

He gets games for free :evil:

Ahh

Pell can still join if he wants to, though. If he gives me these games for free too :shifty:

Not all games, right Pell? If Pell's anything like me, he gets a lot of games for free, but often wants to buy the proper versions so he doesn't just have the Achievements on his debug. And, y'know, he occasionally plays stuff on other platforms for gooseberry fools and giggles.

I'd like to be considered for this, too. Obviously, I'll only count games I personally pay for, otherwise that would be silly.

Seems interesting. I've no idea what to set the budget at, though.

Let's say £400 and go from there.

I hope places are still available as I'd like to be in this again. I'm going for a budget of £400 in 2010.

I'll give this another go, see if I can stay under £500, unlike this year!

Certainly not all, but a fair few still. Only 360, mind, and sometime I just don't have the heart to play things on retail after I've finished them on debug. Assassin's Creed II? Yep I'm replaying that. Saw, however? Not as important...

One good thing is that next year should be free of new hardware unless Nintendo or Sony surprise us with the DS2/PSP2 next Christmas but I think we would have heard some fairly concrete rumours of new hardware by now.

I'll have a go at this, put me in at £300

I count 6 games I'm bothered about on that list.

Sticking to the budget shouldn't be too difficult.

I'll give it a try. Set my budget at £300. I'd be very surprised if I spent more than that.
