Baring in mind I know I'll spending £40 on FIFA 13, I'm pretty much challenging myself to wait for ME3 to come down to £20 and then not buying anything else in the next 10 months. Oh boy.

For some reason I read "Borderlans" as "Bought" and thought you managed to buy a 360 for £7!

This could be a lot harder than I thought. Double Fine Adventure, Journey and Stacking are games I wouldn't usually buy on launch.

Still, I can get at least 5 or 6 games out of 90 quid.

Unless Halo 4 makes it this year. Or I decide to get Guild Wars 2.

Oh well.

I knew you'd be in here asking that.

Errrrrrrrrrr, I've always wanted one, it was quite cheap, it can be hacked very easily and my PSP-2000 is getting on a bit. And if it's gooseberry fool I can sell it on again at cost. Probably.

It would seem like a much less ridiculous purchase had I not bought a Vita a fortnight ago, I'll grant you that.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but honestly; how do you manage this? You're unemployed, right?

Time for an update;

Sold £130 worth of games to game and bought £125 worth of PSN vouchers; off the top of my head I ended up buying; Cladun, Cladun X2, Ys I/II, Ys something or other, Ys 7, Lunar, Trails in the sky, Corpse party, Unit 13 and Jak and Daxter trilogy.

My first proper purchase that didn't include trade of quite a while was Twisted Metal and Kid Icarus

Dante = £1200 (Spent £519.98) Balance = £680.02

Vita really cut into my budget - Next month is going to be harsh; Naruto & DMC trilogy guaranteed. SH book of memories and Little king Story if the release dates are true (I really hope they are tbh) - still very tempted by Silent Hill Downpour and will probably likely break and get ME3

Opening balance: £725

Bought: Kid Icarus: Uprising £30

Closing balance: £695
