Did a count up, and I bought 75 games:

28 - 360

6 - PS3

28 - PC

3 - DS

8 - Wii

2 - PSP

Only 4 items were Preowned, everything else was New or Digital.

I guess that's quite a lot. I had something like 43 on my completed list for the year complicated by what I do and don't mark as completed (multi-player and/or games designed to be played repeatedly don't get logged unless there's a set of trophies/achievements etc. to 100%).

I don't think I paid more than £15 for anything on PC (usually substantially less), so that helped the total spend, I suppose.

I stopped counting and checking but i know i didn't spend more than £500 for me the last few months before christmas was the killer, and i spent more in those months than the entire year.

This year things are even tighter than a tight thing, so no new games for a while, saying that ive got plenty to keep me busy, might get DC:Returns :facepalm:
