Nintendo DS
Mario DS
Madden DS
Feel The Magic

I too started with dvd's and now have switched to playing more games.

That is the vicious irony of deal sites, you get more for your money, but you end up paying so much more. It's safe to say all of us in the forum are addicted to electronic entertainment.

I concur .. =)

I have more games sealed now than what I have actually opened up to play. This is a great time to be a gamer. I can't wait to see what the next few years have in store for us.

After all this game spending I've finally decided it's time to get rid of games I hardly play, some DVDs I don't watch, and my Playstation 2. I went to Gamestop and they would only give me $30 for the PSX2 because the on/off button was loose. Nevermind that it still works. So the guy told me to go to EB Games. The guy said he'd give my $70(for the PSX2) but that they're having a special starting 11.26 thru 11/28 where you trade in 1 PSX2 and 5 games for $150 plus the 20% extra store coupon.

I guess I'm hauling all this shit out agin on Friday. :D

I just finished trading in 2 PS2s for $170 bucks so i can get that new slim designed version. At the moment its sold almost everywhere, plus i have to wait till Gamestop gets it in so i can use the money i have in credit. I could've got cash but if you do so they only give you a certain percentage. So instead of $170 i would of got like $136, something like that.

Like most of you I'm a budget gamer, well most of the time. I know most of you go to the CheapAssGamer website, but if you don't I would suggest you do. They have have some good threads on the gamerush stores(its within BBV). Using some some of the suggestions there, here's what I have acquired. I've spent about 75 bucks of my own money.

Halo2 - new
GTA: SA - new
Tales of Symphonia - used
MGS: SoL - used
Jak & Daxter - used
Ratchet & Clank - used
Eternal Darkness - used
PG2 - used
Castlevania: LoI - used

Most of the used games are older titles, but they are scratch free and have their manual. Hey they're new to me though. Oh, I almost forgot I still have 45 dollars in credit. :)

I'm kind of bogged down at the moment too, but not as bad as you guys.

I have ROTK sitting barely played. Rachet and Clank 2 untouched, Midway Arcade Treasures 2 barely played, and just bought at DS, Mario and Luigi (GBA) and I'm planning on picking up Mario 64 DS tomorrow and getting Metroid Prime 2 for X-mas.

Re: I've bought WAY too many games recently.
 

I just bought a DS (on store credit at GameRush), Mario 64 DS, Feel the Magic DS, and Halo 2, and I've told myself that's all the games I get until Christmas. I wish I could say I have more self-control than you, but the truth is I just have less money. :lol: :(

Ive noticed that from over the last year (mainly due to sites like this and Cheap Ass Gamer) my total number of games has shot up by about 150, I have about 40 at home right now sealed, including Halo 2 CE, Transformers, and lots of various 5 dollar games

As for most new releases, I just wait until the price drops to under 20 before I pick it up

Its not so much the playing games as it is the high I get from getting in on a great deal, i just need to feed that addiction

And with having about 12 different systems at home, there is ALWAYS something I want on sale

Just curious. How many were you able to get for $100?

You took the words right out of my mouth. I only buy for the 3 current gen. consoles, but there are so many deals, I get a few games every week. I think I get more out of getting deals on games than playing them.
