Anyway, i'm 22, and i usually buy/dl 2 games/month

Shhhh...she doesn't know that... Anyway, I could just say "out of normal computer users" or something...heh...

Thanks for the replies guys...I was originally gonna make it include console games too, which would make more sense, but I forgot 🙁

BTW, the results of such a survey are going to be skewed because of response bias and under-representation. Expect points to be deducted if this is your population.

One way to save it though is to state this place as the population and also discuss in the project any sources of error that might have skewed the data, such as reponse bias. At least then you let your teacher know that you knew about the mistakes and can take them into account.

Usually buy 3 games a year...

Ever since the debut of kazaa lite, i've been testing various games and have yet to find any worth $40-$50.

Bought UT2003.NWN,Dungeon Siege,Max Payne, Morrowwind,Red Faction, Ghost Recon, Sum of all fears War crack III, which I just finished.W Highly reccomend that one. Prince of Qin now. Reminds me of the old Balders Gate alittle.
