Your November 2009 Release Purchases?

I enjoyed GI Joe... but I think I'm going to wait until it drops in price (or I might even get it on DVD).

Really?  It's kind of gotten to the point where the price gap between new releases for Blu-ray and DVD has shrunk considerably.  I mean, The Rise of Cobra, at least at the moment, only sees a three dollar difference between editions. (And the two-disc DVD edition is actually three dollars HIGHER than the Blu-ray.)

Wow. Actually, the Amazon Blu-ray is quite the deal. I might have to reconsider.

My selections from November 2009's releases:

Games:
-New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
-Cave Story (Wii) [still no date, and still I'm hopeful]
-Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth [still no date, and still I'm hopeful]
-Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3) [probably not until it goes below $40]


CDs:
-Hikari no 4 Senshi -Final Fantasy Gaiden- Original Soundtrack
-BAYONETTA Original Soundtrack
-Ys SEVEN Original Soundtrack


DVDs/BRDs:
[None]

Let's see...I think it's pretty slim pickings this month for me...ok, scratch that...

Games:

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
Super Mario Bros. Wii
Mushihimesama Futari (but truly, this one is only for the arrange album, as I do not own a 360)

Music:

Mushihimesama Double Arrange CD (see above)
3D Dot Heroes Original Soundtrack
Guwange/ESP Ra.de Original Soundtracks
PinkSweets Original Soundtrack

Sure, both of those Cave OSTs are old albums, but I'm almost done completing my collection. Just the Mushihimesama OSTs to go!

As usual, November for me marks the beginning of the Holiday Fast in my family, so anything besides downloadables is off the menu. In that spirit, I expect to grab Megaman Powered Up on PSN in the next two weeks (it'll be my fourth time buying it, I want a damned sequel), and Cave Story, depending on whenever the HELL Nintendo wants my business.
I am going to try to make a case for grabbing Up early, though. I don't expect much resistance.

how many of you actually BUY everything you're listing in these threads every month? It just seems like a hell of a lot of money to allocate towards media entertainment.

I just spend everything on myself - no significant other obligations to throw money away on haha.

What I'm wondering is whether you guys have the time to go through all that stuff properly every month.

Yeah, that's kinda the hangup. And for me, the answer would be no.

You'd be wrong about that.  I picked up COD4 for PS3 for $30 back in June (BBY had a sale), only a little over a year and a half from its release.  It hit $40 long before that.

Sales aside, I haven't seen places regularly carrying a $40 retail price for the console versions new:

-Gamestop
-Amazon
-Best Buy
-Toys R Us

Granted most of these are listed for the GOTY Edition -- which seems to have become the new norm for the title, since the original release has thinned out of circulation.

Well, movies and such I save for rainy days when I've don't really feel like doing anything else and I've done what I need to.  I don't buy movies to watch right away, I buy movies that I want to keep (because I've seen them in the theatre and watched them there or when they first ran on tv and wanted to keep them).  Same for TV season DVD's.  But I'm the kind of person that needs to get stuff right away then I can tick it off my list (and because things are usually a ----- to find later when I do want them at that particular moment when I think to myself - I want to watch/do this - oh wait I can't because I didn't get it right away->go look for it-> and now I really can't because I can't find it.  It's happened before.)

Soundtracks I'll just idly listen to while I'm doing something else usually, I don't take my listening that seriously.  If I get into it yay, if not eh at least I wasn't sitting in silence doing whatever.

Now video game purchases admittedly because they do eat up time those I have a hard time getting around to.  I have a massive backlog of those because I'm usually busy doing something else.  When I was younger i made video games a higher priority but now not quite as much (but it's still there).  My same rule still applies tho for purchasing video games as it does for movies.  And I have a thing about buying used games... I just don't want to for some reason.  Actually that applies to most used things in general for me. I'd rather get it new.  Maybe it's some kind of ick factor haha.

Anyways, there's some (probably unwanted) insight into the insane existence that is me. =p

Hello guys, hope you still remember me as it has been ages! I finally got a part time so can afford new purchases!

The ones I got planned to buy this month are :

*Bayonetta soundtrack(on its way from play-asia - how come no one has made a topic about it?)
*Assassin's Creed 2(having played it at a Ubisoft event, I instantly wanted to be playing it fully already)
*New Super Mario Bros Wii(I liked playing it recently but it gets quite confusing with 4 people)

This seems like plenty for me as I got my 3rd year project to occupy most of my time.

BAH! Who would want to get this very pretty movie on DVD? :p
