The 2011 list of Thrifty People

In response to white rabbit (sorry can't quote on my phone) the only games i keep are multiplayer ones which at the moment is fifa 11 and black ops.

Where do most people sell most games? I used to use e-bay a bit but been using hmv for trade in recently due to convenience!

eBay

Right well, seeing as another year has gone by having blown past my target and with a new console I'll be definitely buying next year, I'm going for £200 a month as a target.

£2400 for 2011.

Really glad to see this continue.

Even though I'm yet to keep to any of my previous budgets, I'll have another go. I was doing really well in 2010 until the last quarter when I fell back to my previous habit of buying loads of games in a short space of time, then not giving them the attention they deserve. Plus, it didn't help that Rock Band 3 came out and I bought the keyboard (and still have the Mustang guitar on order).

I'll no doubt end up buying a 3DS next year, so I think I'll put myself down for a budget of £700. It'll still be a struggle though as my wife & I should have more disposable income in 2011 that we've had before.

I'm in for this again, please! I did really well this year and stayed pretty comfortably under my budget of £1000. But with 3DS and probs a 360slim to factor in this year, I think i'll try the same limit again. So, £1000 for me.

Even though I'm going to be under my £250 budget from last year, and I'll have less time to play games in 2011, I'm going to up my budget to £300, as I know I'll be getting a 3DS.

What's your normal usernames please

I'll say £500 to start with.

Yeah, count me in. Like yourself Frank, it'll be good to have something to track what I'm buying.

I did pretty well this year but everything went a bit wrong about September/October and I've ended up with a load of games that haven't even been started.

I'll be getting a 3DS at launch so I'll say £700 for me.

I'd actually forgotten about the 3DS :shifty:

That might push me over my limit. Now I've set it though, I'll try and stick to it. This can only end well.

I'll start a fresh for 2011

My budget is provisionally set at £1,200 as I expect I'll either be picking up a PS3 or 3DS at some point.

Sorry, Rubix, but I think you've mixed up Final-FX's budget and mine!

His is £300, mine is £1000.

Hate to be a pain....

i'll have a 3rd go at trying to stick to a budget having failed so miserably in 2009 & 2010 :roll:

however i've no idea what games are coming out next year really apart from GoW3 and am staring at a massive backpile of AAA games from 2010 to finish. So, I'll go for £300 which hopefully will cover me better than it did this year.

Looking forward to seeing Rik's, HSH's & Seven's 2011 spending in particular next year :lol:

To be fair though I have to be stay strong for 2011 as I really want to be able to drive, that and have uber gaming PC. I have more than enough to last me for while.

I probably will fail but I have a feeling that I will try my hardest in 2011, whereabouts in 2009 & 2010 was mainly keep tracking of what games I've bought/traded/sold.

Not a pain, well spotted. Changed now

I can't see Rik on here

I'm going to try really hard this year, so £1500.

Could I reduce mine down from £700 to £500 please as I've just bought a new car so I need to make a real effort next year!

Can I increase my budget to £300, I think this is generous but I feel £200 is going to be a bit tight for me!

A few things I forgot to consider!!!

Done, Done and
