Dear. I skipped over the mention of PAL completely.

Gaming wise, to 1cc a cave shmup, most likely ddp.

Collection wise, to start a gba collection. I've been into emulation for the past 12 months, time to start building the physical collection. Man, i wish i never sold off my games years ago!

Reduce yearly purchases.

Change ratio of games beat to games bought from 1:20 to 3:1

If I don't like a game sell/trade it in. ie: Remove junk from library.

Make library pretty and displayable.

Share my gaming with friends/family

Short version of "the plan" =D

Great thread. I've had a Wii since October of '07, so I want to continue to actually finish the games I already have. My wife and I decided that our Christmas gift to each other this year would be a ps3. I wanted it mainly for the games and my wife wanted it mainly for the bluray.

Wii Games to Start &/or Finish:
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Monster Hunter Tri
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
Spectrobes: Origins
Sonic and the Black Knight

Wii Games to Get:
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Arc Rise Fantasia
The Last Story

PS3 Games to Finish:
God of War Collection
God of War 3

PS3 Games to Get:
Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition
Bioshock

I have a little on the way, so money will be very tight this year. I'll still hit up the various thrift stores to find some retro goodness. I'll definitely be "forced" to play more collect less which will be good thing since I have a huge ps2 backlog.

I am going to continue my random obsession with post Dreamcast Sega releases.

I am going to get my collection down to 150 games.

I am going to resist the urge to buy an entire game series just because I like one or two games in that franchise.

I am going to stop buying RPG's.

I am going to finish the games that I have.

I am totally going to break each and every one of these goals. I would not even give me until January to mess up.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Beat at least 15 games, collect several more games on my radar (hope to hit 200!), and get a psp and ps3.

1. Beat around 10 games, it has been more collecting; which leads me to #2
2. I own ~250-270 games now
3. Got and sold PSP, however I still own ps3 (got a 360 and 3ds which I didn't plan on getting either of them)
