[Gothic Walrus]

A very, very incomplete listing. It'll become more fleshed out as I dig up my receipts and add them to the list...

Holy crap, have I fallen behind. Let's see if I can bring this thing more up to date. It probably won't be entirely complete, but I might be able to manage close...

FEBRUARY
18th - GTA: Vice City (PS2, EB Games, used, $11.69) (Bought with trade-in from TRU)
18th - Spider-Man (PS2, EB Games, used, $11.69) (Bought with trade-in from TRU)
19th - NHL 2K3 (PS2, EB Games, used, $4.00) Fills a gaping void in my collection - I didn't have any hockey games newer than 1998 for my consoles - and helps me to cope with the lack of real hockey.
26th - eReader (GBA, EB Games, used, $9.00 of TRU credit) I've wanted one of these for ages, and now that it's cheap, I couldn't very well pass it up.
26th - Gran Turismo 3 (GBA, EB Games, used, free from B2G1) I had to choose between a PS1 memory card for my copy of GT2 or a copy of GT3 for a few dollars more. Because I got the eReader, I chose the game.
26th - Monster Rancher 3 (PS2, EB Games, used, $9 of TRU credit) I've wanted to try the series for a while now, and it fit in very nicely with the B2G1 sale. Especially since I didn't see anything else that I wanted.
26th - Tennis (GBA eReader, GameStop, new, $1.50) The GameStop nearest my EB had some eReader cards left, so I picked up a few packs to use with it.
26th - Super Mario Advance 4 Series One (GBA eReader, GameStop, new, $2.50) See above. I've loved SMB3 for years, so I think I'll enjoy the new levels quite a lot. Beyond that, the item cards are a bit like my trusty old Game Genie...
Monthly Total: $8.00 in cash; $36.08 in EB Games credit

APRIL
1st - F-Zero: GP Legend (GBA, EB Games, new, $10) Fun little racing game; it's just a shame that I forgot that I owned it for so long.
Monthly Total: $10.00 in cash

MAY
24th - Max Payne 2 (PS2, Gamerush, used, $5) Bought after I was fined $120 for missing a stop sign. Me bitter at the cops? Never...
Monthly Total: $5.00 in cash

JULY
8th - Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (PS2, Best Buy, new, $5.00) I loves me my platformers!
10th - Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution (PS2, Best Buy, new, $5.00) I'm awful with fighters, but I still have fun playing them.
11th - Konami Arcade Classics (GBA, EB Games, new, $4.50) Cheap Frogger? Why not?
12th - The Legend of Zelda (GBA, Sears, new, $5.00) I was planning on laying off the game purchases for a while...but then I saw that the game was going for incredibly cheap at Sears. That, combined with my sister's wish for a copy of Zelda II, led me to break my promise.
15th - Castlevania (GBA, Sears, new, $5.00) Oh, what the hell. If you can pay for a game entirely with change you've found on your dresser, why not do it?
21st - Pokémon Trading Card Game (GBC, EB, used, $3.60) I used to love this game; I borrowed it from my cousin so many times that I think I played it more often than he did. Now that it's so cheap, I figured that it was about time to pick up a copy for myself.
28th - Sabrewulf (GBA, TRU, new, $10.50) Cheap Rare game? I have issues passing these up.
Monthly Total: $38.60 in cash

MISCELLANEOUS
Some of my games were bought in B2G1 sales with my sister getting one of the three; I've dropped the prices accordingly.
It's also worth pointing out that I have and (almost religiously) use an EDGE card, but I've got a feeling a lot of us do.

UPCOMING
The only game I'm planning on getting is a GB/GBC copy of Tetris. That's the one game I need to buy myself for college, and then I'll be set for a while.
Of course, that's also proving to be a blatant lie, looking at the July purchases.

Total Cost of Games: $97.68
Total Credit Used: $36.08 at EB Games
TOTAL SPENT: $61.60

I've been buying a ton of games lately, I guess you can say I have been catching up on some things I missed. I basically bought nothing in 2004, as I was so busy with school that I had absolutely no free time(even last summer!). This semester my schedule is not so taxing. That, combined with a few good months on eBay, has allowed me to fund my gaming and make just enough to keep my bank account happy. For a starving college student I'm not doing too bad.

[quote name='outlawz42']wow some of you are buying a hell of a lot of games..can you even play all those? I wish I had 6 arms so I could play 3 systems at once...[/quote]

i have a lot of downtime between classes/work so i usually play RPGs to pass the time.. but i also have a lot of games "in queue" so i can always play a new game everytime i finish one.. (i also don't rent dvds too much and just purchase those used also)

0$ so far. I think I've almost broken my videogame buying addiction.

 

[Matt Young]

Oh wow.... I'm just going to be guessing on these. Luckily, I bought most of my more recent games in November and December 2004. As for 2005, here's what I can recall:

Xbox Live Starter Kit w/ Crimson Skies- $70 (Best Buy)
Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 for Xbox- $40 (GameCrazy)
MadCatz Beat Pad for DDR- $25 (Best Buy)
Resident Evil 4 for GameCube- $20 after trade (GameRush)
MVP Baseball 2005 for Xbox- $30 (GameStop)
ESPN MLB 2K5 for Xbox- $20 (GameCrazy)
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for Xbox- $30 (GameCrazy)

I think that's it. In total, that all adds up to $235 without tax. Quite a bit for an unemployed guy.
