[Banjo]

Count me in. I shall post my limit closer to the new year, when I'm more aware of what my financial situation will be.

[HSH28]

Having miserably failed to stick to £100 a month this year, I think I'll set a perhaps more realistic (but still much less than I've managed to keep my spending to this year) amount of £150 a month.

So a 2010 games spending budget of £1800.

[Adam Ash]

Why not, I will give it a go. Be interested to see exactly how much I spend. It's not much, especially compared to some of the nutters on here (well Rik and HSH).

I only own a Xbox 360 and iPod Touch so my spending isn't massive at all.

Gonna say £350 for the year, anything linked to video games will be included, NO excuses.

[Alpha eX]

Put me down for £500 please, i'll be strawberry floated if a new console comes out.

[tomvek]

Count me in

It's going to be a year of big games so I'm increasing my spending limit to £360.

[Osito]

Put me down for £250 please.

I might raise that if I get a PS3, though.

[cooldawn]

This years budget is £700 but I'm way under that...by over £300...so for 2010 it'll be less.

2010 budget = £500.

EDIT: By the way marillion Col...this has been an excellent way to kerb my spending. It certainly opened my eyes to how I bought games for the hell of it.

[Garth]

Put me down for £200 please

Thanks for the 2009 thread marillion Col, you did a great job!

[Skarjo]

Well, I've had a busy year so didn't get close to the £1000 I budgeted myself this year, so I'll go for something a little more strict (as next year shows no signs of being any quieter).

Put me down for £500.

[Rodders9]

Put me down for £400 £500 please.

Hopefully that will be a realistic figure.

[Andrew_version1]

I'm in. Saving up for a holiday to the states in september, plus with a few gigs in the summer my wallet will be savaged. Put me down for a years budget of £350 for games.

[Knoyleo]

I'd like to be in on this, if only to see myself fail miserably. My budget = £600

[Wedgie]

I'm going to raise my budget for the new year to £500.

I will probably get a new DS at some point next year so that's why a hefty raise from £200 to £500. Even if i don't, I will be still under budget as my sole console is only the 360.

[more heat than light]

I think I might play this year. Set me for £500. I've absolutely no idea how much money I spend on games.

[Zartan]

Put me down for this year, wish I had signed up last year might of kept me a bit tighter. As for my Budget this year I was thinking £400ish

Though I may upgrade my PC, and I am getting tempted by a PS3 which would destroy any such budget. Will have to have a little think on it.

[Rubix]

I went over this year and looking at the line up for next year it looks worse so put me down for £1,000

as I may get a PSP Go

[Christopher]

I don't think next year will let me work inside a budget. So many great games in Q1 alone

[Rik]

Put me down for £1750

[Dual]

In. Put me down for a budget of £500.

EDIT: No, put it down for £400. £500 is far too generous.
