gazdavis11 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Many people took part in the 2020 edition following the success in 2019 and tracked their expenditure on game hardware and software through the year. It often serves as reminder of what you have bought and how much it cost but also makes you think whether you need that brand new game at full price or whether you can hold off due to what you have already bought. I plan on running the same but will also produce a monthly and finally Annual spreadsheet of some stats surrounding games bought, expenditure, etc so if you’d like to be part of next years edition and want to see your name on the stats spreadsheet then signup below. others are more than welcome to join in and post what you’ve purchased without signing up, you just won’t appear on the monthly analysis. Sign up before 1st Jan which is when we will go live. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IntroPhenom Posted December 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) 03 MAY 21 Final update: I give up. My 2020 spending went off the rails - so much so that I quit the 2020 spending tracking. This year, however, can be different. I'm in. No need to sign me up, though. I'll just post my purchases throughout the year with the goal of shaming myself next December after I end up spending too much again. Updates Update 1: Santa was quite generous this year with PSN cards, so my purchases will be covered, for a while. Update 2: I'm a fool, walked into a Best Buy yesterday evening, and spent real money despite having a credit on the PS store. My preference for physical media wins again. Update 3: Under $20 sale. (I love sales.) Update 4: Retro sale Update 5: Panic over two Utawarerumono games no longer available to buy digitally, but that I probably won't play for 15 years anyway. Update 6: Critic's Choice sale Update 7: PS3 splurge and Double Discounts sale Update 8: ...ah forget this part. Running paid total for 2021 is $396.90. JAN purchases Spoiler Dog Duty Total $2.11 Paid $0.00 (Xmas PSN funds) Assassin's Creed Odyssey Ultimate Edition $29.99 Shadow of the Tomb Raider DLC $5.99 Midnight Owl Theme $1.99 Total $40.33 Paid $0.00 (Xmas PSN funds) Limited Run Games PS4 Collector's Edition Blind Box $54.99 Donation to the Video Game History Foundation $1.00 Total $65.03 Paid $65.03 Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice $19.99 Zanki Zero: Last Beginning $15.99 Ys: Memories of Celceta Timeless Adventurer Edition $29.99 Total: $70.09 Paid $70.09 LEGO DC Super Villains Deluxe Edition $18.74 Suicide Guy $1.59 Suicide Guy: Sleepin' Deeply $1.19 Woodle Tree Adventures Deluxe $1.49 Total $23.01 Paid $0.00 (Xmas PSN funds) Gauntlet: Slayer Edition $4.99 Risen 3 - Enhanced Edition $3.99 Total: $8.98 Paid $0.00 (Xmas PSN funds) LUMO $11.50 Utawareumomo Mask of Deception $24.95 Total: $36.45 Paid $0.00 (trade-in credit) Utawarerumomo Mask of Truth $32.30 Total: $32.30 Paid $32.30 FEB purchases Spoiler Habroxia (cross buy Vita/PS4) $1.99 Perils of Baking (cross buy Vita/PS4) $1.24 Total: $3.23 Paid $0.00 (Xmas PSN funds) Epic Adventures Bundle $28.99 - Twisted Land: Shadow Town - Mountain Crime: Requital - Forest Legends: the Call of Love AMY $2.99 Clan of Champions $0.99 Sacra Terra: Kiss of Death $11.99 Snark Busters: High Society $11.99 Jacob Jones Big Foot Mystery $2.99 Blood of the Werewolf $4.99 Fairune $4.99 Little Red Lie (cross buy Vita/PS4) $9.99 Weird Park: The Final Show $14.99 SEGA Vintage Collection: Monster World $9.99 - Wonder Boy in Monster Land - Wonder Boy in Monster World - Monster World IV Limited Run Games PS4 Collector's Edition Blind Box -$54.99 (RETURN) Total: $46.41 Paid $46.41 Iris.Fall $1.99 Glass Masquerade Bundle $3.29 Caladrius Blaze $2.99 Total: $8.27 Paid $8.27 Birdcakes $0.99 Pacific Wings $0.89 Evoland Legendary Edition $5.99 Total: $8.36 Paid: $8.36 MAR purchases Spoiler Newt One $1.99 Braveland Trilogy $3.74 Odallus: The Dark Call $3.59 Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse $1.49 Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator (EU) 1.04 LEGO The Movie 2 Videogame $0.00 (redeemed employer related perk) Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Divine Edition $0.00 (redeemed employer related perk) Total: $11.85 Paid: $11.85 APR purchases Castlevania: Lords of Shadows: Resurrection $9.99 Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Reverie $9.99 Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2: Revelations $7.99 Lego Batman 3 season pass (PS3) $14.99 Lego Marvel's Avengers season pass (PS3) $9.99 Lego Star Wars Force Awakens season pass (PS3) $9.99 Sly Cooper Collection (Vita) $14.99 Magus $9.99 Beast Quest EU $3.74 Green Lava Volume 1 (Limited Run Games) $37.65 Lego Star Wars Force Awakens +DLC (PS4) $6.99 Mechanika $1.99 Uglydolls: An Imperfect Adventure $3.99 The First Tree $1.99 Disgaea 4 $7.75 (trade in credit) Castlevania: Lord of Shadows $13.50 (trade in credit) Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (PS3) $7.22 (trade in credit) Disgaea 3 $12.70 X-men Destiny $15.93 LEGO Avengers, LEGO Marvel Superheroes, LEGO The Movie Video Game (PS3) $46.75 Total: $248.12 Paid: $219.65 Edited May 3, 2021 by IntroPhenom 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DaivRules Posted December 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'd be curious if the trophy progress for PS game purchases could be included to display what 0% of value was lost between the time a game was purchased and when it was started (Original purchase price minus current price at first trophy pop), as well as number of dollar spent that have gone unused (original purchase price added up for all unstarted games). Backlogs are a very expensive endeavor, seeing the numbers would be interesting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pray_4_the_End Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 My 2020 video spending was a lot more ridiculous than I thought it would be when I start actually tracking my spending. Granted I did end up snagging a PS5 on launch so that alone added like $700ish (with the games and accessories) extra to my spending. Even though I had no intention of buying a PS5 at launch, I did get real lucky in that regard. I also FINALLY bought a Vita this year which added another $130, on top of all the games I ended up buying for it (which so far is like 13 physical games and a handful of digital). I'm for sure signing up for next years though, especially with the knowledge I have from my spending habits this year I'm gonna be way more picky on what I buy in 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyleh Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) I like tracking stuff, but I'm really bad at keeping up with it over long periods of time... January $55 (Tesla vs Lovecraft GOTY, Tesla Force PS4+PS5, BDSM) February $102.38 (other region PSN cards) September $15 (Clid the Snail) October $30 (Outriders PS4/PS5) 2021 total: $200 (one of my cheapest years to date) Edited December 24, 2021 by Helyx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microsamm Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I like to join and get tracked. 2020 was my 1st year on Playstation and with buying the games I like to play, hurt my wallet extremely with ~200 physical & ~100 digital purchases. For 2021, I've a budget of 1500€, which will include a PS5 console. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotz99 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I'll join in, this year shouldnt be bad, but I'll be getting a ps5 when I can. I already have a 50 game list to play for this year of over 2000 estimated hours, that should persuade me to hold back on spending but we'll see.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infected Elite Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 $0 so far but with my "games to buy" list on my phone, includes whats out and TBA 2021, easily 2000$. If Sony gets off their ass and announces compatible SSDs that'll probably be another 300$ for a 1TB, sooo yeah. Currently putting money toward LG CX or whatever comes out 2021 thats better tho. May not count as "game spending" but i will use it FOR gaming so i count it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefourfoldroot Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) So many PS Plus collection games, and PS+ games not played, I doubt I’ll need to buy many larger this year.

RedPage17 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Just looked up my spending so far. January: Bad North for Switch from LRG - $37.98 Pink Gorilla Bootleg Buddy - $24.46 (This is a kit for opening carts in order to determine if they are fake video games, if this should not be included I will drop it off the list.) My fun budget runs $200 per month. Which is usually spent on games, books, comics and edc stuff. I plan on putting some money to the side to grab a PS5 this year, maybe this will help me manage saving up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
