$0 - Didn't spend a cent this month on games. Which is a very good thing for me... sorta.
If it doesn't go towards gaming, it go towards something else. This month it was a digicam, SD card, and canalphones.

I spend nothing also, but that's because nothing interests me right now. Once we get farther into the year, I'll probably buy more stuff...

Ya I did pay $50.00 for it, but I did get free 3 day shipping and a free soundtrack if that counts for anything.
I like the game, and I do agree its not worth $50, maybe $30. But hell I got my Xbox only for Sudeki and Fable so I didn't mind paying $50 for it.

TRU and some online deal, I forget what at the moment, hit me up for a good chunk of change but it's been almost two weeks since the last expenditure. If nothing comes up in the first half of September do I get a chip or something for keeping my wallet closed for a month?

I think my bill was around $300 this month. However, I did pick up at least 16 games, several of which were new releases (Karaoke Rev 2, Bujingai, Crimson Tears, etc).

Yeah, there should be an option for $0, haven't spent anything yet. Contemplating whether i'll pay $30+ for UT 2004 and definitely preordering Ratchet and Clank 3 (but that's not til Nov).

20 for VF4:Evolution and Soul Calibur 2
3 for a Skies guide.
5 for MGS3 pre-order
pretty sure that is it for this month. I plan on cutting back on my game buying as I have too many sealed games (though I will be buying me a copy of SF:AC with the gift card I got recently)

$600 at TRU (games and portable screen for XBOX)and about $200 at EB. I bit more than I would normally spend., Especially with a $500 speeding ticket in the same month and $400 in Hospital bills to fix a finger I sliced open with a metal door(insurance is a joke, but it was $1300 total before they paid their part). Plus $50 on Doom 3 for the PC

Wish you added $400+. However, I sold some games to offset this ridiculous amount of money I spent.
SneakyPenguin
08-29-2004, 09:24 PM
Hmmm, over 400, probably over 500. In August alone, I've gotten over 40 games.

Probably around $300 bucks, with the MTV deals, TRU and gamerush preordering along with some other random pick ups. This was an expensive month, but I have a lot of games to show for it. We will see how September goes, if there aren't any big clearances I will be okay, most months I spend less than a hundred and often less than $50.
I wouldn't regret it at all if I didn't just get a ticket for running a red light by one of those damn stoplight cameras, $340 ouch.

I spent around 45 dollars for the Toys'R'Us sale. I never get around to buying the games I plan to, mostly because of some crazy sale.
On that note, I have to pick up Prince of Persia before school starts.

Damn, I dropped $50 for Chronicles of Riddick and then pre-ordered Fable for $50... I usually spend less, but I've honestly played all the cheap $20 games that I want to play!

About $50 but I concentrated on Quality games instead of quantity. I'm very happy with my purchases.

I forget if the 5 dollar circuit city sale was this month or last. If this month, then I spent 10 dollars on some descent old games. But, I'm holding off for this next month to make one or 2 purchases between Burnout 3, Ncaa Football 2005, or Terminator 3 Redemption....so now, splurging time is almost here. 8)
