    I've been spending lots of money on the PSN specials lately, and I've racked up more games on my to play list than I can handle. It definitely works

    Pricing isn't the problem anymore. a $2 difference isn't going to suddenly turn this into some irresistible offer. If I can pay $4 for a game I can pay $6. It's more of a time problem. The amount of games in the average gamers collection is building up faster than he can play them. And it's only a matter of time till people come round and realize they'd rather not buy if they can't find the time to play.

    Also the amount of time to play those games normally range into day's not just hours to complete. This normally takes a lot of time you just have to see all the what must I play first threads that have been popping so people will buy the games they remember was good even though they don't have time to play it.

    I'm in that situation atm. What's annoying is that I keep defaulting to HoN when I can't decide what to play(Or I just start modding away). To make things worse, most of the game I have are sequels, and I'm not even done with the previous game. I just stopped buying games all together, just to see if I can at least start playing the ones I've been neglecting.

    Although I still don't have this thing called a credit card, have to put some actual thought into buying stuff online, so impulse buys are rare-ish.

    A valid credit card, a six-pack and a steam sale. Epic.

    That's roughly how I came to own Duke Nukem Forever.
