    Well that's your problem. You gotta be a patient, cheap little shit like me to save your wallet with this hobby smile.gif
    I bought 7 (good) games for under $140 CDN over the last couple of weeks, 'cause they're all at least a year old. That would barely get me 2 Wii games out here. Probably a good thing I never found a Wii...

    It's not the money for me, it's finding the time to play all the damned games I want to play. There's so many I want to play, but no where near the time. frown.gif

    It's daunting looking at the Q4 lineup, but after that Q1-Q3 is a lot more relaxed for you to catch up laugh.gif.

    Mass Effect and GTA4 are the only 2 I will probably invest my time in if I have any, though they would probably be the most time consuming lol. Should really pick your favs and go with them wink.gif.

    damn.. most of them are my favs lol... my very very top picks would have to be...

    Rock Band, Bioshock, Halo 3, GH3, Mass Effect, Too Human, Zelda/Mario/SSBB, orange box, and UT3

    that cuts the list down considerably but I want the others real bad too haha! guess it boils down to how well they turn out. I don't wanna pass up a great game =D

    No worries, 90% of them will slip the release date anyways so it evens out to about 3 decent games per year tongue.gif

    I'm getting it for both mainly because I don't think I'll have a fully capable PC when the game launches, and so I can play with my buds on XBL (almost everyone I know will be getting it on 360), but also getting it on PC because I prefer it on PC and I need/want the editor =)

    Hate renting? Why? I either beat or get tired of most games in that two week window anyway...I really only buy games I think I'm gonna play through more than once, are good multiplayer, or require a much longer time investment...although with Gamefly, thats not really even an issue.

    The idea of the insta-buy just seems like a bad idea too. There's been too many games that everything looked great until I got the controller in my hand and I hated the controls, or the camera set up, or just the gameplay in general. Honestly I'm a 90% renter and 10% buyer....although I don't do either anymore since both of my consoles went tits up and I don't have the money for a 360 much less a PS3. We have both at work and I still don't see that either are currently worth their price tags. Especially with the death rate on those 360s :\

    Hell Yeah! On top of that, I often feel guilty when I play games, because I know its time I could be spending modeling. (and working on other creative efforts) My day job and my part-time job don't usually involve modeling or animation. So some portion of my precious free-time has to be allocated to modeling practice, or I'll get horribly rusty. And then I'm trying to learn more programming. And I'm looking into Grad school. Have to study for the GREs...

    THERE'S NOT ENOUGH STINKING TIME!!!

    Well you gotta figure that at least 50-75% of the titles will be postponed and the ship date moved so myabe you will be able to afford some smile.gif

    Makes you wonder if you can write off games as a business expense...

    Well why wouldn't you be able to? I know a guy that writes off all the meals he eats while he works from home. He writes off some of his rent, some of his electric, toys he buys, books he buys, movies he buys as long as they pertain to his work it's a go.

    I've been saving all my receipts smile.gif

    Yea, I think that if you have your own business and can prove that the games are actually related to research for your project in some way you can. Atleast that's what I've been told. Dunno how reliable the source was though (Partly because I don't even remember where I heard it). :P
