Catching up on stuff and I'd like to do this again this year, it was good for keeping track of stuff in 2011.

I'll go with £800, I think. Not planning on buying the Vita but I can see the WiiU getting a look in (that is this year, right?).

I'm also hoping that a combination of having time-sinks like Skyrim and WoW on the go and using LoveFilm for rentals should keep me covered for the first few months, at least.

Bit of an expensive start so far though:

World of Warcraft] - 6 months sub - £46.14
Tales of the Abyss (3DS) - £34.85
Skylanders - Wrecking Ball figure - £7.95
Rayman Origins - £1.74

NBK = £800 (Spent £90.68) Balance = £709.32

Bought Cave Story 3DS for Twenty English pounds

Dante = £1200 (Spent £40) Balance = £1160

Posting this as a reminder to myself. My balance hasn't changed. I did purchase some avatar and theme items on xbox live but with points I already had. I've so far traded in 2 games for £27 but I'm not adding this to my budget because I'm literally putting it aside to make up the budget! Can't really spare any cash atm. Going to be trading in a few more soon too. Pre-ordered The last story for £29.99 but I'll take this off my balance when my card is charged.

Doing alright so far. 8-)

Well gooseberry fool, nearly a quarter of my budget gone already. Need to hold out a bit longer for cheaper stuff. Three of those are preorders though.

Mr.Jeff wrote:Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 2 (DS) - £20.14

Must buy!

Where did you get it from?

Fake edit 2: Almost ordered it at vgp but keep hesitating.Too much to play atm and The last story comes out then too. I'll probably persuade myself to pre-order in the next few days.

It's one of my pre-orders at the minute. Bought it from Planetaxel. Figured since I had to pick up some other stuff from them anyway (like my 3rd copy of 999 to give away as a present), I'd preorder that at the same time.

They're currently due a lot of my money in the next 6 months; what with the two Atlus games, Dragon's Crown and Tales of Graces all coming out.

PostRe: The 2012 list of Thrifty People by **Dante** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:43 pm
