I try not to by being a Jew, but I end up spending more than I expect on little things that I would've thought, fucking video games.

usually <$100

I'm legitimately glad the industry is in such a sorry fucking state because that means there's way less good games for me to spend money on.

Spent around 750 this year so far (2015)
I'd say I spend on average 3000 a year

I need help
>>
>>284465383

Kinda this. While there are few games I'm slightly interested in, the only games I'm really excited about right now are Witcher 3 and Ultima Ascendant.
>>
>>284465008
I spend most of my money on food and drugs. I have enough games for now and the only thing I was planning to buy was GTAV but a friend pre-ordered it for me on steam
>>
I spend like 60$ every 2 months. There's not that many games I want coming out
>>
>>284465008
I guess between 1000 and 2000€ each year.
>>
>>284465008
No, because I pirate everything. Although I do buy games that I want to play online multiplayer.
>>
>>284465008
Dunno, about 150 € a year, but then last year I've spent about 350 € on books.
>>
~40$ once every 2-4 months on a console game I really want
~5-10$ a couple of times on Steam sales, bundles and other such shenanigans.

>>284467064
Good idea anon. Going to start to budget my spendings myself, looks as though MGS, Bloodborne, Killing Floor 2 and majoras mask will set me back a bit though.
>>
>>284467605
Why should I?
>>
Poorfag with only enough to buy one new game right now. Holding onto it for MGSV, but I might end up getting a job before that fucking game comes out.
>>
That's a good idea. I'm going to do that with on my $500 note 10.1 2014 edition. Money well spent.
>>
>>284467818
because you can easily expand and calculate that list you fucking hipster.
>>
I might spend a thousand this year and get both a ps4 and wii u.
>>
>>284467818
also easier to manage
>>
>>284467965
I can do the same thing in notepad with the enter key and a calculator.

git fukd

I am pirating the fuck out of everything and let you chumps support the industry. Thank you suckers
>>
>>284465008
I don't know, $1000?

Got a stable, middle income job and live alone. Really don't need to keep tabs on small purchases.
>>
Get a gamefly account and pirate shit. Spending money on video games is so last decade.
>>
I used to pirate games but ever since I've downgraded my laptop I've been connecting more with my console.
I'd say I spend ~$50 a month

Nah, I pirate all the games I want to play and buy the ones that are actually good. So that's like maybe 4 games a year that I buy.

Games I can't pirate I usually do extensive research about and try out friends copy if I'm lucky, before buying.

3 out of 4 games I bought last year were ___nintendo___ games.
>>
Psn does a sale every week, I buy almost exclusively from there, i buy full release games around winter break.

I live in a third world country so games can cost up to 90-95$, the way I get around this is making a U.S. psn account and buy psn cards from Amazon using a U.S. address, they send the code through an email and then I can just paste it on the redeem code bar.

There is no better option.

Yes, it's basically a worse version of a god-tier N64 game.

I'm glad you wasted $42 on it. I'm sad that you won't learn from your mistake.

Instead of voting I'll tell you straight up: wait on the Wii U, but definitely consider the Vita for the meanwhile. All current-gen consoles are lacking games and the Wii U is no exception, so you want to wait until it has a decent library before getting one.

Might want to upgrade your pc instead of getting a handheld if it's old enough.
>>
>>284469518
I have never purchased a computer/ps2/ps1/mobile game in my life
>>
I did spent 1642,98€ last year on the vidya
>>
>>284465386
What is your secret anon ?
>>
I spent, at max, about $500 a year on gaming things.
Console, Accessories, Games, DLC, shit like that.

The amount of games I pirate, is about 3x my actual spending.
>>
I am actually to lazy to pirate.. so I just buy the games...
