How many new games do you get a week?

[Zora Mystery]

I usually go for 5 or 6 NES games every weekend. What about you guys?

EDIT: I'm talking about retro games, but you can include new games too.

[Haoie]

It used to be 1-3 on average.

But now it's down to none. I've hit a rut.

[c0ldb33r]

I come and go in stints. For a long time it'll be none-to-two per week (typically none), then I'll get the bug. This weekend I got five and my wife got one. Last week I ordered a bunch of 3DO stuff from eBay and am waiting for it to come in.

[carlcarlson]

If "new" means new in the store, none. If you count stuff on ebay then it probably averages out to 1 or 2 a week now becuase I'm going after newer stuff like 360 or DS. If i'm doing retro it's more like 10-30.

[walrusmonger]

When I was working at a game store I'd be buying an average of one new release per week, during the holidays more like 2 to 3. I would also be buying on average 5 used games a week (either stuff that came in or stuff I gave customers cash for before they could trade it in). I would also buy at least 1 classic game per week.

Of course there were weeks when I'd spend $1000+ a week on ebay game impulse buys.

THANKFULLY that was only from 2003-2007. Now I buy maybe one game a month. June I'll be picking up 3 (ninja gaiden 2, guitar hero aerosmith and metal gear solid 4).

Ixnay on the amesgay. I can't say for fear of reprisal....

Kidding, usually 1-2.

[Dr. Dib]

I wonder what you mean by new. Usually I buy 0-2 new games a week. Used games very by where I'm at. I've been trying to save money, but I'm not very good at it...

[calgon]

on average, one per month

[DigitalSpace]

I hardly ever buy new games anymore. According to my log, the last new game I bought was Donkey Kong-e for the e-reader in April.

As for game acquisitions in general, it varies from 2-10 games a week, depending on how much money I have to burn and how often I visit thrifts/game stores/etc throughout the week.

[c0ldb33r]

Oh shit, was this thread about new-new games or new-to-me games? I took it as the latter.

New old stock? I thought the e-Reader was dead and buried.

For myself, I don't get games weekly, it's probably more akin to monthly or bi-monthly.

My latest purchase included a like-new copy of Bionic Commando for the Game Boy, box and all - import version too. Got Ninja Ryu- (Gaiden) in great shape as well.

[mnbren05]

Not very often, I usually buy used. Sometimes like this past week I'll buy 3-4 new games on sale and be set for quite sometime.

[Jackattack]

Well since we don't know exactly what this thread is talking about I'll answer both possibilities.

New-New Games... 1-2 per month on average, but it varies a lot per month.

New games to me... Well probably about the same 1-2 per month. Though together I would have 2-4/month.

If I didn't feel bad about buying games that I don't really really want it would be much more. It would also help if I didn't have a backlog of around 40 games...

[DigitalSpace]

New old stock? I thought the e-Reader was dead and buried.

It is, but a few of the GameStops around here still have some e-reader cards collecting dust at $2.99 each (mostly Baseball-e and Tennis-e). Donkey Kong-e was the last one I spotted that I felt was worth that much.

I was talking about old retro games, but you can include new games.

[Jumpman Jr.]

Anywhere from 1-300 for me I guess. Last week I had boxes covering my bedroom, filled with about 275 CIB games, plus an additional 150 empty boxes.
But that was an exception. ;)

[briskbc]

Per week is too short of a time frame (for me). I'll say 0 to 3 a month.

[7th lutz]

A week is too short. It is usually 0 to 4 games a month for me. It is up to what time of year is and if there is a good sale on games.

[Dark_Sol]

2-3......

[xfrumx]

5-15 usually sometimes 2 or 3

[Harkunan]

That depends on where and when.

I have a completion list like anybody else and I have certain tools that allows me to aviod getting these items for the sake of sharing and good will but then
again

0-4 It depends like last week I missed a Vtech

[namzep]

At the beginning of the month, probably 10 or so. By the end, maybe one game or so. Most of my funds recently, however, have been going toward gaming magazines. I very rarely buy brand new games at full price ($50+) and usually can wait till they go greatest hits (but I do make exceptions on certain first-party Nintendo stuff and the Guitar Hero series).

[jcalder8]

It all depends on how the retro gaming gods are treating me.
Some weeks it's zero others it could be up to 20.

[MrSparkle]

most weeks ill pick up 5-6 new games for an assortment of systems. some weeks if im strapped for cash none. but then every now and again ill go completely over the top and get 50-100.

[modest9797]

I typically get 1-3 a week.

[darkhades]

As far as Retro games, it all depends on how generous the Yard sales, Thrift stores, and Goodwills are. New games, less then one a week on average.

[PaddyTheChump]

Mine varies.
Pretty much whenever I get money, I get games :p

[Sudo]

Not very many these past few months, since I'm rather broke. I will be picking up Ninja Gaiden II this week and MGS 4 next week, though. :)

[NytroSkull7]

I usually keep it to about 2 games a weekend but being as soon as a get a new system ex. PSOne i go all out and buy several games to make it fit my collection. I just got about 20 PSOne games over the past 2 weeks.

[Joe West]

1 to 10 per week, i try to buy in bulk, if possible

[The 1 2 P]

Hmm...it could be anywhere from 1 to 15, all depending on where I'm shopping at. If it's a big video game clearance sale than I might even get more than that.

[swlovinist]

two to three games every two weeks. Sometimes alot more, sometimes zero. After 15 years, it really starts to add up. (most I got in a month was like 400).


I am currently adding 3 a week.

[TwinChargers]

New games are something I rarely buy. I'm not even current gen yet. As for new to me games it can vary. I from time to time get the "classic plastic" deal at GameCrazy which is 5 games for $5. When it comes to last gen consoles I might get a game a week, sometimes more if they are cheap. You can get some real solid titles for under $5 for Xbox and PS2. Gamecube though is still to this day a bit spendier of a console to collect for.
