2014 Game Spending Thread

[SkyPikachu]

End of the year going into local electronic store tomorrow fingers crossed I don't impulse buy something. I'm already buying a Blu Ray player and a DVD so probably wont.

Next year hopefully it's under $200 No buying consoles next year hopefully I gotta save. $40 more than I hoped this year as I bought the Wii U as a gift to myself for getting a job from my long term savings.

2015 I'll be putting the foot down on stuff.

Updating my totals as final for the year. Close enough to half last year's spend total to claim it as an achievement. December's Christmas bonanza added greatly to my annual haul, at little to no cost to me personally. Note that this total includes a current-gen system. On to an even stingier 2015!!
