How to keep yourself from buying games?

[lattes]

It isn't a money issue really, I am just trying to NOT buy every game that catches my fancy because I figure I won't end up having time to play and enjoy the ones I have.

Any tips?

Uh rent some, or don't buy them? :lol:

But yes, what I do is rent the ones I am unsure of or am slightly interested in.
This way I can see if its a good game and its worth buying, and I don't end up wasting money on a game that takes me 2 or 3 days to beat.

Research a game throughly before you buy it, or else you'll end up getting crappy ports that just look good.

Lol just think what you can do with that saved up money.
Thats what I always do.

i try to hold off on buying a new game until i've beaten the games i have or at least wait till i get sick of them. It's hard with the whole online gaming thing since you never really beat a game anymore, so i just buy when i'm sick of playing the ones i have.

OMG I know what you mean. I have so many Wii games I haven't even touched. All of them are good games too but I could have lived without buying them. As well as Xbox 360 games and PC games. I have played a total of 10 minutes of Medal of Honor: Heroes 2. I have played a littel through Super Mario Galaxy but I haven't even unwrapped Metriod Prime 3: Corruption. I'm probably done with Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and well, the rest will never be played.... like ever. My problem is, I can't focus. My eyes go in like every direction at once. While I play one game I wish I had another and I just keep buying them all. I probably have 15 Wii games I purchased brand new for 50 a piece when they were released.

well for me its easy, i just tell myself "ok either we buy this or we have a roof over our head and we can eat." works everytime, bills and my health come before games.
