Am I the first to spend money on games this year?

Anyway, like with previous years: Use this thread to keep track of gaming and gaming related purchases in 2017!

Last 5 years have seen a decrease of money that I spend on games. Wonder if this year will be different .. maybe if I decide to get the Switch early.

Just a couple pre-orders for me so far, and that money isn't spent until the items come out!
