Another year and another attempt to guess how much money your going to spend on gaming ! Are you going to enter the next generation with a PS4 (pro) / Xbox One X or Nintendo's Switch console ? Are there big games you are going to grab on day 1 - or will you wait for the magic £20 mark ? Post your estimate here and try and keep track of just how much money you are throwing away when instead you could be outside ! 2011 thread : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6653 2012 thread : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8199 2013 thread : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9209 2014 thread : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9879 2015 thread : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10294 2016 thread : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10653 2017 thread - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10922 Post your prices inside <> symbols and Grim...'s magic tracker will total everything up for you : http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/c ... sh2018.php (*) You can also put negative values in if you've sold items back |

I've gone for £400-600 because I want to get a Switch at some point. But I'll also be selling my Wii U, 3DS, Vita and PS3, so who knows? In any case I expect it to be my lowest total since records began. |

Boxed ones seem to go for quite a bit more. If it helps, I can send him the box (not mint, but reasonable condition) for my Wii U - It's the same model, although the serials won't match up. But if it's just a box that's required, I don't mind posting it off as I won't be selling my Wii U any time soon. |

Only significant purchase I can envisage this year is a Switch + telly combo (plus Switch games), so let's allow £800 for those, plus my 'usual' spend of around £400, as such I'll go £1200. I'll pick the £1200-£1500 bracket, it's always good to build some contingency into these things. |

I’ve gone for £400-600 as I intend to buy a switch sometime this year. I don’t get a lot of time to play games and that’s largely a combination of real life getting in the way, my age making me feel like I should be doing something more constructive/creative with my free time and me doing so. I think I’ve broken the habit of buying games I won’t have time to play, but I still end up with more titles at the end of the year than I’ve had time to play. My sole consolation is that they’re mostly very cheap when I buy them. I think the switch will fit in with my life quite nicely as a portable device as there are more instances of me having short periods of time to kill, than there are instances of me having 2-3 hours or more to sink into a decent SP adventure. I’ve abandoned online play as I can never schedule time to get online nowadays. I’m fine with this. |

That does look interesting. Let us know if it’s any good! Certainly worth a go at 69p. I reached one of the endings, but I'm not sure how differently you can play it to see the other seven, but I'll be giving it another go soon. Edit - If you do, something that's not obvious, is how to quit the game - hold down Esc and it'll eventually close the game. |

Guessing 2-300 as there's a few games that I wanna get, but not too many. Will probably have to get an external harddrive at some point too. |

I'll scope out ebay later and see what a reasonable price might be. Assuming I've not forgotten anything, it will be: PSVR boxed with whatever came with it PlayStation camera - boxed PSVR worlds No technodicks included. |
