My limit for this year was £500. And there's £200 or so left from that budget.

So I'm going to add that to £500, as that compenstate for the eventually bought 3DS.

My budget total for the year 2011 is £700.

Aye sure I'll be in. I won't be strict with my budget like last year, but I'll be strict with finishing bunch of games I have before buying more (which will fail by Jan 2011 I'm sure.)

My Budget for 2011 = £2000

Yup.

Hardly spent anything this year. Next year I'll "hopefully" have a job (or be rich from other ventures) so will likely spend more.

I still have 5 months worth of update to 2010! I'll wait and see how well I did (or how badly) at the end of the year, before laying down a price.

This year is going to be pretty insane though, March already looks wallet breaking :(. 3DS launch + launch line up, Dragon Age II, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Yakuza 4 and Marvel Vs Capcom 3 & Kirby just the week before too :(.

I don't think I'll do this next year. I think by the End of March I could easily have spent a grand :fp:

I might join this year, just so I can keep track of what I actually buy. Not sure about a budget, though.

I'll say £500 to start with.

I've done pretty well this year, even though I haven't updated my total for a while. Think I have ~£100 left out of £500 but most of that money has been spent on donations and equipment rather than games.

I reckon I'll be getting a new PC next year, perhaps buying some proper sim racing gear too. So I'll have my budget down as £2,000 please. I hope to god I don't spend that much though :fp:

I'm not even sure what games are due out next year but I'll say...£400.

I've felt a bit starved of games this year so I want to play more! I'll have to just organise my time better next year to fit them in.

Next year is bonkers for me so I'm upping the limit from £500 to £700.

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.
