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!

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.

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
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
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

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.

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!!!
