Your next video game purchase?

[Mike]

What's your next planned video game purchase(s)? Don't count spur of the moment buys, cause those happen at random, lol (Happens a lot to me, and kills my pocket :|).

1. Fallout: New Vegas - Highly probable
2. Final Fantasy XIV - Diehard (probably will go for the midnight launch)
3. Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty - Leaning yes
4: A Nintendo DS - Maybe (I mean, what's the point of having DS games if you don't have a DS?)

I also plan on buying final fantasy XIV, mainly because i have five dollars reserved for it at gamestop. But i really want the game, fallout new vegas will have to come after i beat the first fallout (which will probably be a while).

1. Scribblenauts 2
2. Metal gear solid- bolt action (whatever the name is, if it is metal gear and for ps3 ill buy it)
3. That desert game from the makers of flower, it looks really cool.
4. The last guardian (really loved shadow of the collosus)
5. little big planet 2
6. Gran turismo 5
7. Playstation Move

Which ever game can profit me some real life cash :/ ... I just spent $500 today getting my tag and insurance started. And over the course of the next three years I will pay $190 a month for insurance and for two of those three I'll also be making $275 a month car payments.

I...

Am...

BROKE!

1. Halo Reach - I spent more time on Halo 3 than any other game in history. Countless hours were poored into making awesome custom games and maps, beating the campaign on legendary, collecting all the skulls and terminals and pwning noons in big team slayer. Halo reach will be no different.

2. Fallout New Vegas - Its fallout..... IN VEGAS! Nough said.

3. COD: Black Ops - Im a diehard COD fan. It's going to be interesting to see what treyarch does with time travel. Hopefully it will b better than most time revel oriented games.

4. Brink - Looks really interesting. The co-op mode looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Hey James, i don't think any of those things i actually plan on buying as soon as they come out, it'll probably be about a year or so after they come out. Because to be honest i don't have the money either. We just found a place out in cantonment that is going to be awesome, but getting in i have to get electricity in my name, water in my name which i have to pay the first month and a deposit for both, deposit for the place and rent, while also having enough money for gas and food to feed me michelle and my two daughters...

but however i do know that things will work itself out, so i see no need in stressing out about them.... so talking about games i wish to buy is just a way of keeping our heads up.

[Vicious88]

Yeah, and I get that... But just yesterday I had a string of horrible luck with games...

I went into Pensacola to get some SNES parts I needed to fix a co-workers SNES, and while I was there, I haggled my way through an exception deal for some dreamcast stuff:

A Pelican "Stinger" gun like what came bundled with House of The Dead II
http://www.pristavki.ru/pics/221_b_StingerGub513_big.jpg

And an original screen'd VMU (memory card).

I haggled my way into both for an impressive $5 -- and considering the gun's competitors run around $40 on eBay last time I checked, and the Pelican Stinger couldn't be found at all, I gave the $5 for it.

But then, just as my hopes of playing House of The Dead II in the comfort of my home and reliving some childhood memories were at their peak -- I discovered that my gun does not work. And clinging to my exceedingly high hopes, I opted to fix the gun by testing all of the simple components that are likely to go (namely the cord, the vibration motor, and the solder connections). All of my tests came back clear, and aside from a possible problem in the IC (Integrated Circuit), for which I have no way of testing, let alone fixing, the gun seemed in every respect perfect.

So House of The Dead II, as well as all of my eager anticipation, sits in my CD case, awaiting another opportunity for a light gun.

lol... that is bad luck. Well, speaking of bad luck, it seems as though there is no way we are going to be able to get this place out in cantonment, unless someone just gives us fifteen hundred dollars. And i don't think that is going to happen. So, we are stuck here, with the stink bug just laying on the couch gathering all the musk and negativity that one could possibly accumulate in three days, until we can save up enough to actually get a place without having to sacrifice eating or driving in a car (gas). both of which in my opinion we need very badly.

@James - Craigslist? Or a technician who can figure out whats wrong with it?
@Josh - That's not good. Where's Cantonment? Where do you all live anyway? I feel so isolated out here.

@Thread - Terrible willpower results in the following purchases today:
Tiger Woods PGA Tour '09
Eternal Sonata

[ArthurDent]

The Tiger Woods games are actually surprisingly fun... Good multiplayer too... If only we had the same console, Mike.

[Mike]

I do have the same console as you. And games for it. I just refuse to pay for online multiplayer.

Mike, Cantonment is the boonies of Pensacola which is in northwest florida, i live in cantonment now, but where the place was that we were looking at is in upper cantonment or north cantonment.
