Pred = £200 [color=#FF0000](Spent £352.38)[/color] [color=#FF0000]Balance = -£152.38[/color]

Really wasn't expecting to spend that much when I set my target at the beginning of the year. Getting a gaming-capable PC and Steam sales made me go way over. I might have a quick look over my posts in this thread to see how many games I actually bought and what the average price per game was.

EDIT: 66 games and removing points, Live subscription, etc. brings the average to £4.64.

Payday: The Heist (PC) - £7.49
Humble Bundle #4 (Gratuitous Space Battles, Cave Story+, Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner, Shank, NightSky) - £2.95
Minecraft Pocket Edition - £0.10
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat - £3.24
Killing Floor - £3.74
Beat Hazard Ultra - £2.60
Total War: Shogun 2 - £7.49
SpaceChem - £1.74
Universe Sandbox - £1.74

Code: Select all

Cuttooth = £400 [color=#FF0000](Spent £527.31)[/color] [color=#FF0000]Balance = -£127.31[/color]

I didn't do it here but here is my budget from last year.

Budget £600
Spent on games:£777.73 (strawberry floatin hell)
Made back selling:£2082.64 (I have no idea how this added up)
Total:-£1304.91

Not even sure if I should bother making anyother budget because I buy and sell all the time.

Glad to have kept within my budget in 2011 but I could see myself going way over it this year. Good job running the thread Rubix!

That would be +704.94 in C

I totally lost track around March :fp:

I was well past my budget anyway, I purchased at least 3 360 consoles which cost nearly £700 for starters, roughly I spent between £2000 and £2500 but I'm not totally sure.

Better luck in 2012.

Thats with £330 written off as well.

Total spending with hardware (including a graphics card that I never accounted for in this) and present money taken into account is over £3000.
