Hardly surprising with the shit you listen to.

Shame you don't know how much postage to put on things, really.

According to my records, my net spend is £61.62. That includes various sales of things on Amazon, and I've long since forgotten if they were actually games so if I take those out it's £174.69. Hmm, more than I'd thought, and I've spent about £20 of Itunes credit too, but overall really not so much.

Unless I have forgotten any, mine comes in at ~£135 for the year. Not too bad, only real disappointment being Deus Ex and the bag of shit that it is.

Right then -

DX:HR - £30, traded for about £11 so £19.
Battlefield 3 - £29
Skyrim - £38 - Traded in £17 of CoD games so £21
Vanquish - £7
War for Cybertron - £10
Deadly Premonition - £7
New Vegas - £7
Football Manager 2012 - £30

In total I've spent £130

Of the four games I've bought new, three have been buggy pieces of shit - Skyrim, FM 2012, Battlefield 3. I can see me buying a lot more 2nd hand stuff in future.

I can't be arsed to work it out properly, but I'd say that in the end I probably spent around $800 on gaming stuff this year which isn't bad considering I was on almost $600 by the end of April. Really slowed down as the year progressed, but then I bought Skyrim and Otomedius in November which bumped things up a bit.

I think I have spent 0 on myself, but I have 3 kids who play on the xbox, and I must spent about £500-600 on them (esp as one got a 3ds and another got an ipod touch for christmas) and I do play on their stuff...

I bought Modern Warfare 3, some map packs for CODBLOPS, and Magic 2012 (+3 expansions).

And then some on apps. Probably around the hundred quid mark.

You've only just remembered that you bought it?

You mean because it's not Friday yet? No, predictably stuff's being put on sale these days well before Friday but still being shoved out under the Black Friday banner. Amazon are doing it right now here.

No, because this is the 2011 thread.

Oh.

That'll teach me to use the search function and not properly read the thread titles it brings back.
