Cut your cable bill (internet only) youll be to busy playing games and watching netflicks anyways.

Stop smoking!!-all those packs of ciggs can add up to pretty rare games rather quickly.

Drugs and alcohol-buy games instead youll have something to show for it.

Limit buying new releases-would you rather spend $60 a game or have
Alundra,Mega Man Anniversary,Wavebird and probably Mega Bomberman to round it out?

So there you have it folks I bought went broke,Sold had nothing,prioritized and rebuilded and appreciated! Enjoy :D
Sadly, I have been doing all of that for years.

I switched to DSL from Cable/FiOS
I don't smoke
I don't drink (or hardly do)
I rarely buy new releases
I got rid of Cable TV for Netflix

... and I still wish I had more money for the rare stuff :lol: There's just too much I want to buy!

You definitely make good points though!

Ran some quick numbers....I still have ~360 of these, though I've acquired 389. Of the 360 I've kept, about 90 are digital-only releases (PSN/Steam/iOS/etc.) which means I've added roughly 250 physical pieces to my collection this year going into December :shock: Of course I also have sold/traded some stuff from previous years, so an addition of ~200 net might be more accurate for the year...

If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

Just scored this off Ebay last night

http://www.ebay.com/itm/110782020715

The best price I've seen for this game and in this condition there -- loved the arcade version -- when Hitmaker still had the internet rankings on this I was #3 in North America so it will be good to play this again 8)
