How much money will you spend the rest of 08?

I recently pre-ordered:

Little Big Planet $60 (+free $15 giftcard)
Saint's Row 2 $60 (+ free $10 giftcard)
Gears of War 2 $60 (+ free $10 giftcard)
Dead SPace $60 (+ free $10 gift card)
Fallout 3 $60 ( + free $10 gift card)

$300 + tax + free shipping for the games and giftcards.

Which leaves me $55 in giftcards that I spent on two more games:

Infinite Undiscovery $40
Lego Starwars Complete Saga $20

and I had a 10% coupon on those two...so when all was said and done, I owed another $4

So I got five new games and two "sorta newish" games for $323. That's probably where I'll let it stand for this year.

But if I should have some sudden unexpected windfall...I'd Also like to get:

Tomb Raider: Underworld
Last Remnant
Chronicles of Valkyria
Resistance2
Farcry 2
Banjo and Kazooie Nuts and Bolts
Left 4 dead
Call of Duty: World At War
Fable II
Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

And I'd still like to pick up like lots of used older games like GRAW 1 &2, Kameo, Blacksite: Area 51, etc.

So far I've received Saint's Row 2 (two days wait is not bad at all for free shipping), and Dead Space is in transit, Infinite Undiscovery, and Lego Starwars Complete Saga will ship on Monday. LBP is delayed. I've been playing Saint's Row 2 since yesterday.

I assume you mean on video games and not just in general because I'll be writing checks for about $7,000 at the end of the month to cover various living expenses. *sigh*

I think I'm done for the year as far as games go - I might buy a few Rock Band songs for the New Year's party but that's about it. I'll probably get a few games from various people for Christmas...

I'm sittin pretty for a while even though some of these games will take that long to come my way. That's ok though since I'm sitting on a handful that haven't been touched yet.[/quote]

Let's see the true damage:

RB2 - $60

Goozex pickups

Goozex queue (with points to cover it)
Bioshock
COD5
Fallout3
Mirror's Edge
PoP
ToS2
TR:Underworld
Valkyria Chronicles (I will probably have to buy this or it will be 2010 by the time I get it through goozex)

$178 - $58 more than planned. I should have *never* picked up GH:WT.. although if you balance out my eBay payment, my total was actually $135. Not too shabby for all that stuff.
 
With 14 hours to go I think I'm done. Although, the local supermarket has the Williams Pinball hall of Fame for PS2 for just $9.99...
 
Maybe 45? My brother's birthday is on the second and I still have to buy him a gift but I don't know what. His 360 red ringed like 2 months ago and he still hasn't called so I don't know if I should get him another game or a movie or what.
 
I also spent zero dinero!

For now I'm just going to focus all gaming attention towards the games in my humble collection. Oddly enough I'm having a great time! I think God of War 3 will be the next game I get, unless prices go way south.
