As you put it yourself, if I come across a lot, the amount of games per week increases dramatically. But generally speaking I don't pick up a lot (1-2 games) a week, as I rarely buy new games. I only pick up new ones if something nice from a series I collect comes out (Final Fantasy, Zelda, etc).

It used to be 1 or 2 a week. Now it's like one or two every couple of months.

I don't know how you guys even find 6-7 games week unless you buy them from ebay or gamestores. I haven't seen hardly any games at the thrifts this year, let alone ones worth buying.

I varies greatly, I have have no set amount.

[Yakumo]

For me it depends really. There are some weeks where I'll buy loads of games from local stores or auctions then there are weeks like this week where I've only bought 1 game.

Like others have said, it varies. I collect Atari so I only buy atari or other classics if I know I can flip them in a trade. I've gotten a couple hundred in the last few months but that should drop off dramatically because I'm almost at the point of where I want to be with my collection but will pick up a game here or there if its a good deal.

I usually go with a dollar amount, nothing over 20 bucks. But on average I get 2 games a week.

[sebastiankirchoff]

It greatly depends, usually on how much money I got. Since I am only 15 and don't have a license, I can't drive to any thrift stores to find games, but during Garage Sale season I go with a relative and find tons of games. The number can range from 0 to 100, but during the off season the number is 1 or 2 a week. New games are extremely rare, and I have only gotten 3 or 4 this year.

I used to be crazy. One time I picked up something like 60+ PS1 games for $15 - $20 total.

Now, I'm lucky if I get 20 games in an entire year.

DVD / HD-DVD / Blu-Ray / Laserdisc purchases, now that is another story..... I have spent $1,500 + in 2008 on movies.

I'm 14 here and get around to buy games by taking the bus.

I have aquired a large game collection of 6500 titles, and used to buy 100s of games at a time becasue I just walked into several deals. I was at the right place at the right time. Now that I have a family, my budget is limited and set at $40 a month. I use that money to buy at thrifts to flip on ebay when I have a chance, but usually I am only buying 2-5 games a month. With Christmas and my Birthday, I get additional money to either mod a system or buy some rare stuff. In the end, I am adding about 100 selective games to my library this past year. I plan on documenting in detail what I spend, sell and buy this next year

I used to buy games like crazy, I've slowed down to one every so many weeks or months now. Why? I'm not as into games as I once was, Plus goodwill hasn't been so hot lately. I think the last game I bought was Left 4 Dead and that was perhaps 3 weeks ago.

[Aussie2B]

Most weeks? Probably none. If you average out what I get over the course of an entire year, then it's probably 1 a week, or 2 tops. I doubt I've had many years in which I added much more than a hundred games to my collection.

[Haoie]

Overall it might average out to 1 per week.

But I haven't gotten anything new for about 2 months now!!

[RASK1904]

As many as possible! Realy though average it out and its probably......15? I dont know I'm always gettin them. Some weeks over 50 others 4. But yeah I always look and want them. It's like crack I tell ya! I love the hunt. I get so jazzed when I find something good. Like today. Today was a good day, I diidn't even have to use my AK. ?

Thanx RASK1904

I'll buy MAYBE two to four games per month that I would classify as a real purchase. I wouldn't count anything under, say $8, since I usually have a few bucks in my pocket. I haven't hit the thrifts in a month, but my average find costs $2, and I'm lucky to find one or two per trip.

I find myself being in a dry season for new game purchases quite often, then a few things come out that actually interest me. When I'm hitting the thrifts on a schedule, I'm getting at least one game each week. Ultimately, it depends on whether I'm in a mood to spend money, and whether it's $2 or $20. I had a week back in August I believe, where I found one game a day for 6 days in a row. After that, things slowed down. Once my classes start up this next semester, I'll be passing these two thrifts every day, so I'm sure I'll be going for high-quantity low-cost finds.

Music, on the other hand, I can go crazy with. After discovering the joys of $1/album vinyl, I've been jumping at every chance I get. I know a thrift that absolutely BLOWS for games (they have a stack of $70 PS2s sitting there), but they have a whole wall of vinyl, and I always find some good dance/new-wave stuff.

[Leo_A]

I don't know, but probably averages out to be about 1-2 a week.

[megasdkirby]

I would buy around 20-30 a week.

Unfortunately, this has stopped due to recent economic restraints. And I am pretty sure I will not buy any games for months...I fear maybe for at least a year.

I have discovered the wonderful world of cheap last-gen gaming. Sub-$10 (Canadian) Cube, Xbox and PS2 games, with the majority of them going for under $5. One of our local used shops had a massive last-gen Christmas sale for Nov and Dec with PS2 going for $3 and Xbox going for half price. All in all, I bought about 60 games across all consoles. On boxing day another store had select PS3, 360 and PSP games 2 for $20. Yep....two for twenty bux. I had to ask the staff if I was reading the sign correctly. It was late in the day but I picked up the last 6 decent games and left the sports games for everyone else!

You don't come across these prices everyday. My usual habits are 4 or 5 cheap games a month. Current gen doesn't get bought unless it's either AAA or a good used copy.

[Gunface]

For me, it varies on what is available at the time. Maybe about 7-8 months out of the year I'm traveling and I don't buy many games around then. But when I'm home, it's open season. So I'm probably averaging about 1-2 a week.
