Another year and another attempt to guess how much money your going to spend on gaming ! Any hardware your looking at picking up ? 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 : http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/f ... f=3&t=6653 2012 thread : http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/f ... f=3&t=8199 2013 thread : http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/f ... f=3&t=9209 2014 thread : http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/f ... f=3&t=9879 2015 thread : http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/f ... =3&t=10294 2016 thread : http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/f ... =3&t=10653 2017 thread - http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/f ... =3&t=10922 2018 thread - https://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/ ... =3&t=11139 2019 thread - https://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/ ... =3&t=11295 Post your prices inside <> symbols and Grim...'s magic tracker will total everything up for you : http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/c ... sh2020.php (*) You can also put negative values in if you've sold items back (*) when he updates it again |

I'll be getting a new PC this year, and possibly one or both of the new consoles, depending on how tasty they are, so straight into mental category. I will fund this largesse by not changing my car at the 12 month's ownership mark (which arrives in May of 2020). |

I really will try to follow this this year after getting a surprise after doing my accounts of about £120 pm last year. That's a bit too much so I'll use this to keep it in check hopefully. |

£500. This is what I spent in 2019 minus the cost of my monitor. I can’t see myself getting any hardware at all in 2020 with the possible exception of a new CPU. |

I'll almost certainly grab a PS5 which is predicted to come in at, what, £500? So add in another couple of hundred for games and I'll guess £700. |

Every year I underestimate how much I'm going to spend... So let's say £1000-£1200 and we'll see how I get on. |

I underestimated by £1k for 2019, but I've gone for the same estimate for 2020 (£200-£300). There's not much I want at the moment besides a cheap Vectrex and some more ST-V games. Most modern games don't hold my attention for long, so I can see me just revisiting older stuff. |

I've gone £1200-£1500. I'm actually amazed at how much I spent last year, but I did get into the console race and upgraded two PCs. I do expect to spend way less this year but I guess that'll depend on the new consoles. Apparently the current high end consoles will become the next gen entry level consoles so you won't miss out on games if you already have those. I'm honestly thinking that I'd like a more powerful Xbox, yet could live with the PS4 pro so I don't miss out on stuff like TLOU 2. |

<98.97> Various card packs for Hearthstone, we got £100 cashback on a new washer dryer a couple of months ago but I chose to take it as a 'Virtual Mastercard' and fuck me they're a ballache to use, so in the end I've just dumped it into Hearthstone as I was able to add the virtual card as a payment method, milk it, and then go back to my original payment method. Also, I've spent fucktons of arcane dust crafting cards this expansion and my supply is getting low so this will be a nice refill, and hopefully get some good new cards as well. |

Besides which, Hearthstone is either my most played game ever or second most played game ever (it's jousting with WoW), I reckon 5000 hours playtime is about right. |
