How Many Games Do You Buy A Year?

[codeninja]

I buy about one a month, although I get to try way more than that at work.

buy? a game?
/me roflmao

but then I wouldn't get to spend nearly as much as I do on questionable chinese piracy hardware, would I?

but there is the thrift store, I suppose... okay, 10-12 a month--but I almost never go over a dollar. And if we start counting those famiclone 200-in-ones and TV games... God save all those c64DTV units I keep buying...I just keep burning through them...

can't stop...opening them up... must see the commodore magic at work...

should've been how many games do you pirate a year. Actually, since i'm a collector, between my 30+ systems, i buy roughly 100 a year.

​

Are you serious? How many total do you have then? A friend of mine who's a collector have about 500-ish, and he's got all the games that he wants from NES days and up. I have about 200-ish with 110 of them being SNES games; I only collect SNES games.

It varies for me.. I havnt bought many games for the last year but this month i already bought about 6 new games, and maybe 10 used ones. Im currently working on finishing my SNES collection, so in 2006 im going to be buying a LOT of used games. Ive been picking up a bunch of SNES games at $1-3 a piece, so its not too bad for most of the junk ones.

too many would have to be my answer but most of the time I'm buying then at the 20 dollar price point, before they become smacked with the Greatest hits logo. every so often though I find a recent game fore a nice price durring seasonal clearance sales. I'd say I've bought about 7-14 games across 3 systems since december.

i'd have to count how many games i have, maybe someday i'll do that, what i do know is that i have over 300 atari 2600 games alone, so i'm guessing with all my other systems, i've around 1000-1200 games, i just bought 2 more yesterday.

this poll is a little low,
a lot of us, myself included, buy enough game *systems* to at least make it on the chart for games. One system a month isn't that many--I'd guess I pull at least that.

to be honest around 5 to 8 a month, im gonna stop though for a while, ive totalled my 360 collection to 9 games already, im goin to try and finish most of them before i buy anymore, use the most time playing on live though lately.

I buy about 10 handhelds a year at this rate, up from around 6 a year a few years back. I buy the occasional game on ebay and then the rarity of me going and buying it for full price in a store.....I have around 200-225 total games for all my systems as of now.

Probably one or two a month. I don't game much, and when I do it's usually stuff I get for Christmas or birthdays or occasional random purchases. The last game I bought was Trackmania Sunrise for £10 from amazon, which is pretty awesome for the price and has kept me busy.

I don't know really. I tend to buy a lot of second hand games on impulse. I might not buy any one month but then I'll get one or two new releases and three second hand games the next.
The pc budget ranges eat up a lot of my money aswell. I missed out on so many games the first time round that I'm making up for it now.

Unfortunately the amount of games that I own (and the others that I still want) need more time devoted to them than I'm currently willing to give so I'm trying to scale back on the purchases and just go for the ones at the top of my want list.

It's also why I only stick with one current console, I just don't have the time.

I dont follow a schedule, but its more then 12 a year, and less then 52 a year, so i picked once a month. (I just bought RES and Rub Rabbits. La, la la, la la la la la la. RUB IT!)

I don't follow a schedule either, but I purchased about 1 game a week this year. gp32_console
