Thank you for this wonderfull blog, I have been lurking for some time, many thanks to the Admin here too.
Hi – really good site you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to write a comment to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically pleasing. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor for a marketing firm. I have always enjoyed playing with computers and am attempting to learn code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).
thats a bit biased joe only what 2 ps3 games? u gotta at least try uncharted 2, its awesome.
I am only buying one game and that is Left 4 dead 2. I really loved the first one, especially while playing with my friends, and the sequel has a chainsaw… Im there!
Oh god only a few days to MW2… Will Joe review it???
i have bought Borderlands, Brutal Legend, Halo 3: ODST and Mass Effect this month. Im planning to buy Assasins Creed 2 next month, but im skipping Dragon Age Origins because it looks like a weird game. Yes, i have also been considering COD4MW2 but ive never played the COD series before
that’s not very creative but do work:
1. i would sell my actual games that i don’t play anymore, the ones that you normally like, but in the end just don’t fit too well for long gameplay time and get some bucks back;
2. better yet you can sell for your friends who just don’t have the patience for it and get some extra profit, that’s do work at least here around my city if you get the time do this, is better than prostitution, you know xD.
games that i will buy:
1.dragon age
2.empire total war
games that i will sell for buy these two:
red alert 3, battle for middle earth 2 and the sims 3
I’m buying:
Brütal Legend
Magnacarta 2 (Bandai RPG)
Borderlands 2K
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Assassin’s Creed II
And becouse I’m in Australia thats 80-100 dollars each. Which makes
$480-$600
Looks like I’m going to have to work over time…and hold off on that new laptop…
I’m definitely going to get Borderland, and Cod:MF2.
Then there’s the maybes: Tekken 6, Brütal Legend and Gay tony.
I’m working so money isn’t really the biggest prob
games i got on ps3 first 2 last
1. killzone 2
2.cod4
3.ass creed
4.the club
5.saints row 2
6.fifa 09
7.infamous
8.farcry 2
9.fifa 10
10.red faction guriella
11.fallout 3
games i dont play:

BTW i live in New zealand so 3 games is 2 of them as present and use chrismas money to get tekken the 2 colletor edition is like $300 in america that about $150 and tekken 6 is another $120
and i will be renting borderland brutal lengend L4D 2 only when mate come over and
well um i not buying game in october and november because im a teen but i am getting them for chrismas im getting dragon age origin collector edition and assasins creed 2 black edition and tekken 6 wich well be bad ass
Im going to buy
Fallout 3 Game of the year edition for ps 3
Uncharted Drakes fortune 2 Among thieves for ps3
Tekken 6 bundled with wireless fightstick for ps3
Total damage in euros 230
Im a student that hasnt got that many incoms. How I can affoard it you ask?
Well first and foremost. I allways buy games from one source that sells games at a bit lower prices than others. The web store where i buy also rewards customers who buy alot from their store.
So by focusing my business to that one fairly inexpensive retailer i nowdays get 3% of of evertyhing.
I have also lended money some time ago to my 3 friends for a total amount of 130. So i kinda have money stashed away for a situation like this.
So my here you go Joe. By browsing your options, focusing and putting money “in the bank” when you have it but dont have any games to buy you can affoard games easily even when its broketober =)
The game’s I know I’m getting are Dragon Age: Origins and Modern Warfare 2. Not sure about any other ones yet.
I already have the money for those two games and possibly one more but more then that and I’m going to have to get creative.
Forza 3, GTA 4 Ballad of Gay tony and Risen (already bought on pc).
i can i afford this, well i’m working and i will try to buy them from the USA not Canada to save 2 taxes (about 14% sales taxes) and the games are about 10 to 15$ cheaper in the US. Forza 3 was announced 70$ in Canada, add 14% it is more than 80$!!!
Borderlands is the only definite for October. November may bring me MW2 if I can figure it out.
My Borderlands hustle took advantage of Gamestop’s eagerness for new customers and trade-ins, and the local Game Crazy that’s closing.
Essentially, I bought crappy games at Game Crazy and took advantage of Gamestop’s specials to get more money in return for them. I intend to go back tomorrow (when Game Crazy goes to 50% off) in order to finish paying off Borderlands, and possibly put money toward MW2.
though I will admit that Borderlands looks damned impressive. so who knows..
I’m probably going to get New Super Mario Bros Wii and Torchlight (My Diablo fix before Diablo 3 is released). the other games don’t interest me at all. I’m waiting for Starcraft 2 and Dante’s Inferno.
Three games, Dragon Age, Boarderlands and Brütal Legend.
Luckily, my local GameStop has this great offer. Change in 2 games and get one, completly new, for free. So basicly. What I do is that I return some of my games that I never play and get one or two of those games for free.
Obvious win is obvious.
Broketober and Brokevember, both months this year are hideous. Anyways, my must haves for October are Borderlands, and Trine, if it actually gets released on the PSN this month. Also, I am getting Tekken 6, fighter stick editions, for both PS3 and 360. So yeah, I’m already broke, just going broker.
And then there’s still Dragon Age Origins, Modern Warfare 2, and Assassin’s Creed 2 in November.
I wanted to also get Brutal Legends, but I am going to have to wait on this one, sorry Tim.
Honestly im fuckin skippin broketober cuz there is only like three good games possibly and thats borderlands Brutal Legend, and Saw (what i like the movies dont like fuck u) . Uh what was i gonna say O RIGHT $money$ I would do a fight club gambling. OR play internet poker for actual money. but yeah rentals this month savin for the anticipated shit lik MW2 Assassins Creed II
Why don’t you get your fiends together and all buy one game apiece? That way everyone only has to buy sixty dollars but can play as many games as you have friends?
Let’s see, I don’t think I’m getting many things for october, save for Brutal Legends. But November is killer for video games this year, and I’ve been saving up for it.
Brutal Legends, L4D2, CoD: MW2, Assassins Creed 2, Star Wars: TFU Ultimate Sith Edition, and probably Dragonball: Raging Blast.
I’ve been saving since MARCH for this, and I’ll most likely still have a little left over…so I’ll donate some to your gaming experience, Joe.
Microsoft are being douches and are buying the PS3 games …. they want more money
they have taken tekken 6 and metal gear solid raising (now maybe the games won´t have much power and detail on the ps3 …. Uncharted 2 wasn’t released for xbox due to the 25 gig of space and they said it wouldn’t give much depth detail…) unforgivable! if it wasn’t for that PS3 would have more exclusives. (BTW your shirt OMGWTF xD)
I CANT AFFORD NONE!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BROKETOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!
i might have to sell ALL OF MY GAMES to get less games D:
please donate to a poor man so i wont die of jealousy please D:

God of War Collection(ps3)
but im lucky im only 21 but i got a good job and we are pretty uneffected by the times right now plus i live alone so no one to take care of but my self so im pretty lucky right now
yea, if i lived alone i would have every game i ever wanted. mainly because i wouldn’t feel as bad skipping out on food for a few days in order to save money to pay for games, but i can’t do that since my wife and daughter might not be as okay with that.
but i still dont think i can afford it
im gonna buy :Brütal Legend, Assassin’s Creed II, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony, Left 4 Dead 2 (for PC). and thats it.

I’m actually in debt right now. I won’t be able to actually spend anything ’til January. There’s only four games I really want out of all of them though:
Left 4 Dead 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Brutal Legend
Good thing my birthday is just a few weeks after Christmas.
i only care about 3 games Brutal Legend,Uncharted2,and Modern warfare2.The one I care the most about is Wodern Warfare 2 I already got it preordered!
first off may god have mercy on our souls and second
operation flashpoint 2: dragon rising
brutal legend
both for xbox 360
assuming their both $60 (and they probubly will be i most likeliy spend $120-130 pending on tax for’em)
edit: im not gonna worry about november. gonna do that when november finnaly shows up
I’m not even looking at October November…Hell I’m still set back in August!
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Dissidia
Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy
That’s about $130
And I’m waiting till December to get em cause my B-Day and Christmas are close.
Im gonna buy:
1.Borderland
2.Left 4 dead 2 (Im a big fan of L4D)
3.DJ Hero
This is maybe 1500 kr which are 150 dollars in the USA.
None in October here, I’m saving up for COD MW2 in November.
Out of all of those games, I only picked one which is Magnacarta 2…but! I am going to wait and see a review for it first of all. As for November…there is COD MW2 and Left 4 Dead 2.
so…three games, one I have pre-ordered and the other I can wait a little bit longer to pick up. There are a couple of ways to save your money in the long run, buying a used copy over the new release saves you some money (and there is a big chance you may see the game traded in within a week after release) and also just telling yourself that the game will be around for some time so if you don’t have the cash just wait until you do…
..well..that works for me >>”
well in my wish list i want 6 out of all of them. but i’ve got 1 of the 6 already. fifa 10. i am this week hopfully getting operation flashpoint 2. next game for me i want is most likely smackdown vs raw 2010 and grand theft auto iv: episodes. pro evoluation soccer 2010 planning to wait for dat. call of duty 6 in november getting dat for sure and in my games wanna try pile is borderlands becuz of the whole over 1 million guns. then i have like a 3 month period before M.A.G comes out. how you mite ask can i get this. i go to a school dat is kinder far so i need money to travel and my parents give me dat money so i have money left over and save dat up. say 10 pounds from change left over. i do paper round and dat gets me a fiver. so with 4 weeks i have 60 pounds. plus you get sumthin in england where u get paid to go to school if ur early on time and attend all lessons.
TEKKEN 6 IS GOING TO BE KICK ASS AND ASSSASINS CREED 2 HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE BALDA OF GAY TONY AND L4D2 AND AND AND AND
just unlock ur xbox for &50 $ and get games for free by piracy or just sell ur self and play tf2 its good for u steam: h4x807
i gonna buy:
Brütal Legend
Demon’s Souls
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Thats all
I need more money!
Well joe im surprised at you, i thought $160 would be easy for you to overcome but then again i dont know how much it costs for bills family etc. i live unfortunently in Australia yes im an aussie so if you didnt know our games are almost twice the amount as yours. i did the calculations and i want 4 games ok? it’s going to cost me $$$$420$$$$!!!$!$! yea its alot aint it? well for some reason i end up getting the amount by simply just asking people i know for jobs like my father seeing if he needs any work done round the house or stuff like that to mates etc it pays, but only on people nice enough to pay you a decent amount. but dont worry readers if your stressed read this and just be happy your not here lol take care joe
From Dabura911
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time PS3
Uncharted 2: PS3
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories: Wii
A couple Misc XBLA Games
for December.
New Super Mario Bros Wii
Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers, Wii
Actually I suppose this is a fairly modest list in comparison to some gamers out there. However I try not to buy too much too fast, especially at launch. After all there are some games that have tons of hype right up till launch, and then quickly crash and burn when they don’t live up to expectations.
As to how I’ll afford this. Well I do have an Amazon.com gift card coming soon. I have a credit card that gives me Amazon gift cards whenever the points hit a certain level. I bounce as many of my monthly bills across it as possible before promptly paying them off in order to get those gift cards as frequently at possible.
Even then though, I probably wouldn’t need it to pay for this years gaming session. I have a decent paying job and aside from gaming I have no expensive hobbies. Books are cheap, Netflix rentals, cheap, gym membership, cheap. I probably spend more on food than I do on each and every one of my hobbies combined
So yeah, basically I just use my money wisely and generally have a fair sum saved up for this time of the year. It’s a boring answer I know, but it works.
For Oct I was going to get Alpha Protocol first and foremost, but it is now pushed to 2010. Major blowness. Yet Borderlands and maybe Brutal Legend (maybe cuz of money) will see me through the dark times. Nov will bring me Dragon Age, Ass Creed II, and Left 4 Dead 2 Left 2 Die or whatever cool stuff. I’ll get my fix, but only because I have been saving in preparation for like six months. Woo. Hoo.
