Well done.  Mugsters does look interesting, I clocked the trailer yesterday.

250 days. I get to celebrate by not getting to play Spider-man.

Woop.

Not bad for 6 months. I'll be selling a few items as my collection needs pruning so that should tip things the other way a wee bit.

Started off tight but have loosened up a bit.

Sold a few games in a local shop and took store credit.

Super HangOn for MD £15
Super Monaco GP for MD £5
Super Monkey Ball JP GC £12

£305 so far this year.

Saturday was day 300.

I marked it (not realising it was day 300) by going through my Switch watch list and removing anything that I own on another system (with one exception). I’ve also been taking note of the prices of things on my watch list for a while, when they appear on sale. Once this year is up, I refuse to buy anything if it’s been cheaper. I’ve got £50 sitting, I’ve got my eye on a few titles, but that £50 is more than enough to be spending on Switch games for quite a while, especially given that I’ve got plenty on there.

I’ve also asked my folks for PSN vouchers for Christmas. I’ve got six games that I’d like to buy. I’ve got an order of preference, and the same commitment to only buying them on sale. I’m not sure how much my folks will give me but, if it’s enough to get, say, two of them on sale, then, again, that’ll do for now.

Basically, even allowing for going a few pounds over each limit, given that I’m still essentially in credit this year, I should be able to go at least a months into 2019 without spending.

You've done great mate!!

Actually, I might forgo everything until I've given my library a good seeing too.

I’m definitely going a little nuts but, importantly, I’m not going to spend much money.

It’s sitting in my basket, waiting for the PSN vouchers my folks a re getting me for Christmas. Although, I’m a stubborn fuck so, even if I complete the transaction on Christmas Day, I might not play it until 1 January.

I don't really track but i think I've purchased 2 games this year and recieved one as a present, go me!

Wakes up to find he spent £4000 on PSN.

Between gifts (games, vouchers, money), trade-ins, and money made from videogame stuff sold for videogame funds, I’ve now acquired... a bunch of games... and I’m still 62p in credit for my year. Clearly, I now don’t have to buy any games for a looong time.

The only thing on the horizon that I know for sure I’m interested in is Wreckfest. That’s now been delayed until March, and it’s my birthday before then.

My Switch wish list is still far too long, but I’ve probably removed as many (if not more) titles from thinking, “Actually, no,” as I have by buying them. The only things I have left on my PS4 wish list are Dragon Quest XI, which I’m not convinced I’d like anyway, and Omensight, which I reckon has a good chance of ending up on PS+.

Now, in 2019, I need to stop buying those occasional films on iTunes (I’ve got Netflix, ffs) and Lego (I’ve got four sizeable models waiting to be built) and generally be more fiscally prudent in all aspects of my life.

And right, what should I go splurge on??

Thanks for the offer, but due to the generosity of my parents and friends, I’ve now got quite a few of 2018’s big releases to enjoy first, as well as some indies I’ve had my eye on.
