What do you want to buy but are waiting to because it's too expensive, too big, too averse to your significant other? And why are you waiting?

I'm waiting on buying a Commodore PET. I just can't wait to get another one (had one when I was a kid!) I love the built in monitor and quadrangular shape to the top. I really drool at the site of those.

It's not worth buying one right now because I have no game room- my life is back in storage.

I'm waiting for quite a few new games to drop in price, such as RE: Outbreak, ESPN NBA Basketball, Mario Party 4, and practically every GBA game.

Everything else...basically waiting until after I pay for my CGE ticket and have money again.

Procrastinating on buying an Xbox, GBA SP retro, and a Dreamcast. With the xbox and dreamcast there are so few games that I want to get that I just keep putting it off in favor of PS2/GC games. With the retro I have a hard time justifying the price considereing the fact that I have both a GBA and a GBA SP. *sigh*

Lets see here, well I am 11 games from my an entire US Nes Set, and I bet you know which 11 I need. Games such as Stadium Events, Cheetahmen II, and the Panesian Games are holding me back :( . I would also love to get a Halo Xbox, Turbo Duo, Dracula X, as well as try to get more obscure Astrocade games. I hate having expensive tastes!

I'm still procrastinating an Xbox, Turbo Duo, and a non-broken master system, unlike mine which is dead. There's also many new-gen games that I am waiting to drop to $10-20 dollars.

Putting off a large number of recent releases for PS2/Xbox/GC/GBA due to lack of funding. I have most of the older stuff i want but I want stuff like:

Shining Force (GBA)
Fatal Frame II (PS2)
Lifeline w/headset (PS2)
Crimson Sea 2 (PS2)
Billy Hatcher (GC)
Mario Kart Double Dash (GC)
Dark Angel (XBox)

etc etc...probably 30+ games easily. I'm also putting off buying new Neo Geo MVS carts due to the relative scarcity and prohibitively expensive cost.

Super Turrican 2 for the SNES. Ouch!
Keio Flying Squadron for the Sega CD. Ouch! Ouch!
Panzer Dragoon Saga and Radiant Silvergun for the Saturn. Ouchy! Ouch!

Gamecube- price is great. But get a damn library, for Christ's sake!

Neo Geo AES Gold system. Actually I've been putting this off since it came out due to the price. LOL

Well I'm just starting to collect NES and Genesis carts. Once I'm done with that, I'm going to start with the Dreamcast. I'm tempted to drop collecting the Genesis stuff and grab DC instead. I've been want a DC for some time now but I don't want to spread myself ( and my money ) too thin.

Suikoden II: because ebay prices are ridiculous for a game still in the wild

Bust a Groove 1 & 2: same reason, but not quite a severe. I'll probably break down and pay the 40-50 for each of them soon.

Neo Geo MVS: Because I keep spending my earmarked money on other stuff

Colors of Modern Rock, Radical Rex, Fatal Fury: SE, and Novastorm on Sega CD: Because I can't find the damn things for sale. (if you have a spare of these, PM me, I'd like to purchase or trade for them)

Zelda's Adventure: 200+ on an extremely crappy game? Ugh.

All current gen titles: Because City of Heroes owns me now. I don't even have room for Mega Man! How sad is that?

I'm putting off buying Pokemon Ruby / Sapphire, hoping they get to around $25 one of these days. I'm also waiting on some other PC games, like Thief 3: Deadly Shadows, but other than that there's not a whole lot I'm waiting on.

A Gold NWC cart. I've been meaning to get one, but haven't had the initiative to find one of the known 26 people that have one and try to convince them to sell it. BTW, does that 26 include the one won in NIntendo Power magazine?

So, who wants to sell one? :-)

Waiting for the price of the XBOX or a PS2 to drop below $100.


I never paid over$100 for a system in the past and i don't plan to start now.

Waiting for Halo 2 to be released and then the price to go down to $20 6 years later.

I want to buy about a dozen Xbox titles right now, but I'm never too sure if its a smart idea to spend $200 worth of a games in one moment

and...

A projector for the house.

Suikoden II because it's expensive, when I'm done with every other PSX rpg I'll probably just set aside the $100 or so and hit ebay.

Zelda's Adventure.... because it's ridiculously priced.

Zelda Game and Watch... because I just haven't had the money lately and have been buying other things.

I was putting off the rest of my RPG List.

SNES Need:

Actraiser 2
Breath of Fire
Breath of Fire II
Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest
Lufia and the Fortress of Doom
Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals
Shadowrun
Y’s III: Wanderers from Y’s

Playstation:

Azure Dreams
Castlevania: SOTN
Castlevania Chronicles
Front Mission 3
Kartia
Tactics Ogre
Tales of Destiny
Tales of Destiny II
Thousand Arms
Vandal Hearts II

But just recently I've said fuckit, I really really want these games. I'm working through it slowly... recent acquisitions:

Super Mario RPG (complete, mint, beautiful)
Legend of Legaia
Vanguard Bandits w/ Hardcover Guide.

They mostly can be had for a semi-decent price, the ones I'm really dreading are Tactics Ogre for PS and all of the SNES stuff... but I just hooked up the system again to test the games I got a few hours ago and I want it all now more than ever. Both Lufia's seem to be taking quite the priority.

I was putting off the rest of my RPG List.

Would those be "complete" lists or just games you'd like to play? (:

07-02-2004, 02:32 PM
Almost all of the SNES RPGs
A bunch of playstation games
Some Super Famicom games
and last but not least a Game and Watch

Just the games I want to play and/or were an integral part of my childhood.

Right now....Ribbitking for PS2. I don't really want to spend the 19.99 no matter how good the game is. I want a price drop dammit! LOL

That and Street Soccer or whatever for Xbox and Gamecube, there just sitting at Blockbuster but for some reason they REFUSE TO MARK IT DOWN! Ugh. Cmon BB, get with it.

Tales of Phantasia, for no particular reason. The other Tales games (excluding Tales of Eternia/Destiny 2) because I want to play them in order.

Dracula X because it's too damn expensive.

Pretty much any other system I'm interested in because I don't want to add even more systems to the already hefty number I collect for.

And anything else I'm mildly interested in because I want to either find them in the wild or get them at a price that I don't consider too expensive.

Games I wanna play:

PS2:
Jak and Daxter and Jak II because well, I do not have a PS2 in my room and I refuse to go in my brother's room to play them. Plus, until I find a controller that DOESN'T SUCK ASS, I probably won't buy any PS2 games.

Xbox:
Spider-Man 2 because it's new and still $50. Maybe when it hits $20, or if I like the first one so much I just have to get it.

Cube:
Four Swords because it's $50. I want the boxed one when I do get it. Only for looks and because I have no boxed Cube games. I do have the boxed GTA games, so I need to make my Cube games match. ;)

Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 for some reason. I just have too many games I haven't beaten yet, so I'll put these off. But soon.

GBA:
Link to the Past because it's still $30. And other than a price drop, the only thing that'll make my buy it is when I beat the other four GB Zelda's I bought in the past month.

Super Monkey Ball Jr for the same reason as above, also because I've never played. I wanna make sure I like the games first.

ExciteBike and all the rest of the Classics because I'm hoping for a second set to be released. I really want gosh darn Balloon Fight and Dr. Mario. If no NES versions come out, I'll have to import the Japanese ones.

There are more.. I seem to have forgotten them. I'll post again.

Game Boy Player... hell, a GBA's been on my want list for a while.

Other than that:
R-Types & R-Type Delta for PSX (finding complete copies of these games would rock)
-Need For Speed Underground & Jak II for PS2 (waiting for these to drop to $20 around the time NFS Underground II and Jak III are released)
-Mario Kart: Double Dash (waiting for Nintendo to make this a PC title)
-Zelda Wind Waker (waiting to find a copy for $20-25 bucks)
-Tomb Raider for PSX (Gamestop has this for $2.99 used but either a manual is missing, or it's in cruddy shape)
-Puzznic for PSX (waiting to find a copy for five bucks)
-Secret Of Evermore for SNES (might splurge and buy this for the $15 price I usually see it for)

For me a bunch of SNES games I grew up with like Earthbound, Dracula X and Super Metroid only because my gaming budget mostly goes toward completing my DC collection and I have no other cash left over for other stuff.

Super Turrican 2 for the SNES. Ouch!

Yeah that's a good game. Got that and a complete Rudra No Hihou in a trade. Those games for my copy of halo and shining force. @_@

I want just about everygame under the sun i don't own. If i had to narrow it down though i'd chose a bunch of GBA games i had my eye's on (cima,sabrewulf,shining force,astro boy ect). More complete master system games, a few snes/sfc games i been meaning to get (MMX3,goemon 3/4 ect), and lastly a couple more rare saturn games (was lucky got my copy of PDS for free).
