My dumbass. I was trying to get all the big titles on the Xbox and Gamecube while still keeping up with my PC gaming addiction. I haven't played probably 35 of them. Granted 7 of them were for my brother's Christmas present...but still, over 40 games, need to have my ass kicked. I've sold some of them, and guess I'm going to have to sell some more. I even turned around and bought some more today :| I gots a problem me thinks. My average per game is really low though, so I can look at it that way. I guess someone has to keep the devs in business 😛

lmao. What would posses you to buy that many games? I haven't bought a PC game or console game in at least 5 years.

Mod chips do wonders.

So you can tell by the prices I had to buy them 😀

My thinking was that I could get the games, beat them, then sell them for at least what it cost. In theory I'll have spent maybe $50-$100 for playing 40+ games. Not a bad trade off at all.

I've already sold some for a profit. Made $14 on Wreckless, broke even on Tribunal, made 5 on Rallisport Challenge. That's all I've sold. They were just such good deals I couldn't pass them up 🙁

Splinter Cell was $15, forgot that one.

I don't have money to be spending on these, that's for sure. Need work clothes (not even working :|)

But with the hot deal swinging and selling, I'll come out great, and have played almost every great game for those systems 😎
 
Holy Sh!t! :Q

That's like... 2000$ on games. :Q

I wish I had money to blow like that, but I have things like rent to worry about. 🙁

That's in theory. From what I see, in reality you've spent over $700 on stuff you've never played.

 
I'm sorry, but you really do have a shopping problem. Unless this is your business, there really isn't a reason to have this many video games.

It's pretty much my business 🙁 I only had one class for the fall semester and don't start work until Jan 20th. Don't have anything to do during the day or night so this is all I do. I can beat one every few days. Luigi took 2 days. Halo about a week. Probably spend 8-10 hours a day playing.

The only problem I forsee is that everyone got the games they wanted for Chirstmas and prices are going to drop. On the other hand though, kids may have gotten $$$ for Christmas and now want to buy games 🙂

Like I said though, I haven't lost money on the games I've sold. So it be lookin' ok. I went way overboard, but the prices were too good to pass up. Plus I have price protection on most titles for a few more weeks since they came from EBgames.com, which participated in the 20% MSN and the 20% off pre-owned.

And ,do you have to pay to play Tiger Woods 2003 (pc)?

I just installed it today (got it at Office Depot, was $35, added $15 worth of stuff to hit $50, used the $15 off, then send in the rebates for the $15 in crap I bought, $21 w00t!). Uses Gamespy or whatever to work, so no paying to play it.

I lub games 😀
