Put me down for £300 again next year.

Edit: Does this include Grcade donations

Updated.

Put me down for £400. A lot of games coming out next year so I might need a bit more leeway.

Added you

I'll see if I can get this sticked tomorrow.

Put me down for, let's say £~~300~~ 200. It will be damn tough, but I think it will be achievable. I assume I can trade games and sell games to keep to the £200?

Shouldn't be sticked until the end of the year when the other comes off

Rubix: It's more of not letting it drift to page 2 or further, really.

Yeah, you can

Alot of people do this this year and will do same next year. Going to add you in minute...

Bump to front page for those who may have missed it out.

Hmm, I'm in like a three way, but I am unsure on my limit, this year was easish to stay around to my budget as I was quite thrifty! but 2010 see's at least 10 games on my radar that I am wanting!

Sven, put me down for £750 please!

Alright, I was doing ok before I left the forum, then forgot all of my ingoings and outgoings! I think I'd spent half my budget in half the year, or something.
Anyway, as before -

Buffalo - £500

Last year was an experiment to guage my spending and i spent just over £300 (although i started the year with about £100 in vouchers which didnt affect my spending) So to challenge myself i will keep my total for next year to £300. This should make me chose my purchases more wisely and also keep the misses off my back.

Without thinking too hard there are not many games on my horizon right now so this should be achievable.

Updated

Last bump before I go and get mod to sticky this, it's just in case if there's any more who may want to sign up on this for 2010.

I did post on here last week, but deleted the post as my situation had changed.

I was originally going to set myself a budget of £250 as I found out my wife was pregnant. We found out yesterday it was an eptopic pregnancy so no baby for us (for the time being). Irrespective of the baby situation, I quit my job last week so am currently out of work.

In light of what I spent this year, I'm going to set a budget of £500, which is around 50% of what I spent this year. My budget is going to be for games only and I won't be including my LoveFilm subscription.

Sorry to hear that Col

Best of luck mate.

I wasn't going to bother with next year as my wife and I have just had twins so I don't expect to have any time for gaming next year but I'm sure I'll still find time to buy games that I don't end up playing. So on this basis I'm going to go for the following

Budget for the year will be the same as this year - £100
This will not include any console purchases (though I'm not expecting any)
It will also not include a Lovefilm subscription which I'm going to use for all those games that I don't really have to buy
I'll be trading stuff/selling stuff and that will go back in the budget

Put me down for £1000 please, Seven.

Seven, can you update my details on the 1st page please. I've not spent any money yet!

Whoops, fixed that Col :oops:

Updated everyone

I asked PeterCrisp to sticky'd this (active at time) but it seems he's forgotten.

I'll ask again post-Christmas.
