The 2011 Gaming Expenditure Project

I see this as different to the post when you buy something thread, so I'm only including when I've put money down on something be it a game from a shop or spent money on points. I won't be listing individual games bought on XBL, let's put it that way.

I am very lazy though and unlike most people, I buy my points straight through the Wii or 360's interface so I'm paying more for them like a chump.

Pay day is looming, so here's my January totals.

And here's DLC purchased, plus a DSi title using existing points. February will start with the First Strike map pack being downloaded.

I'm pretty happy with what I got for my money, some proper bargains. I'm definitely going to be a lot more frugal with my console game purchases as they drop in price so quickly. There's a few I've pre-ordered and want day one, such as Arkham City and Uncharted 3, but these have all been ordered using 15% codes which brings the cost down quite dramatically. I've also sold some gaming stuff this week amounting to a sweet £97 in my Paypal. This is going towards the 3DS.
