Poll: How many games do you buy each year?

[Les Awesome]

a more than healthy amount

 

[Siege_TF]

5-6, I rent a lot since I can generally beat most games within renting them twice.

 

[Snotnarok]

I have no bloody clue...I couldn't even guess it varies so much.

Probably more than 15

 

[Iwata]

I have no idea. There are months that I buy quite a few games, used and new.

Yet there are other in which I don't get anything. So it's hard to say. But definitely more than 10.

 

[DustyDrB]

3 to 4 on average. My preferences limit how many I get.

 

[Mikeyfell]

3 to 4 on a good year

but this year I splurged a little and bought 8 used old PS2 games

but if you're talking about used games or on average 3 or 4 is right on the money.

 

[The_Deleted]

If we're counting pre-owned / second hand I can easily push 10 a week... fuck knows how many I'd average a year!!!

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

Definitely more than 10. No idea exactly.

 

[Danzaivar]

Bout one a month? Unless a WoW account is active, then that month is a no-game-buy month.

 

[Nmil-ek]

Many pre-owned or old been buffing up my ps2 collection this year maybe 3=4 retail titles per year but really depends on whats out.

 

[SimuLord]

This year it'll probably add up to 7 or 8 by year's end.

Already bought:
Napoleon Total War
Mount&Blade Warband
Victoria 2
Patrician 4
The Sims 3: Ambitions
Tropico 3: Absolute Power

Still looking at Fallout: New Vegas on launch day, might put Civ 5 off until next year depending on how my budget looks for the rest of the year---I have to stretch a pathetically small amount of money out over three months, but that's the price I pay for going back to school full-time and living like a 20-year-old (not that I'm complaining.)

 

[Rednog]

Really depends for me, I know in my mind I'm thinking probably 6-8, but its probably at least 10-15. I do a lot of game shopping on blackfriday/ prechristmas sales, and there is always the oh look a random steam sale. So it is kind of hard to really gauge how many I truly buy a year, seems more that a buy a bunch of games in bulk during a month or so and the rest of the year is fairly dry.

 

[runnerbelow]

I usually find myself buying one every other month, then buying like three of them at Christmas time, and the week after my birthday. It really makes money burn off quickly.

 

[Death God]

I am poor and can only usually buy about 3 games a year. If that even. But as soon as I get a job, I'll try to buy more.

 

[VanityGirl]

Really it depends on what is being released. I've bought two games at a time before just because it was a good week for games.

I guess on average 9-10.

 

[Romblen]

Full Price games, 2-3 usually. One of which is usually a Valve game. Cheaper games on Steam, I think about 10-20. During the mid summer sale on Steam earlier this year, I bought 13 games.

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

I only buy games that are good bang for my buck, so mostly multiplayer games and BioWare/Blizzard games. I'd say I buy 3-5 a year, give or take.

When I was poor I actually bought more games.
Of course you have to keep in mind that you could get a used ps2 game for $5 in those days and what I couldn't afford was a rental service. It was much cheaper to just buy a game a month.
Now I usually rent to see if it's worth buying and as it turns out, there are very few worth buying, especially for $60.
