It's quite a jump from 5 games a year to every game I can get.
Also, really ?
3 a year ?
I buy about 3 a month.

About one every two to three months, they always last me long enough until i get so bored by them that I critise everything bad about them, either that or I play some online FPSs for awhile, either way, I get a joy out of it.
Totally depends. In 2007, I think I bought like 7-9 games. In 2008, I bought 0 games. I've bought 1 game so far this year, and it's looking like it'll be 3-4 total by December.
I really don't buy a game unless I know for a fact I'll enjoy it for 20+ hours. So basically I buy RPGs and multiplayer FPS games, and rent anything else.

I buy games whenever I can, really. I like to shop around and see what bargains I can pick up from my local game shops or ebay. I managed to get NHLs 2001 to 2006 for PS2 from ebay for a few pounds each, and if I see any good PSP games for bargain prices, then I usually grab those too.
Not many unfortunatley... mind you, the only console we have at the moment is a wii and well... I can't think of any games I actually want...
honestly it really ranges from about 1, to PERHAPS 3 tops...even though I can more than afford to do more.
I don't buy many simply because Once I tend to beat a game, I don't touch it again unless it has a really high replay value ( meaning in that case that it A: has alot of content released. B: has multiple endings, or options to alter the gameplay and story.
Most games...like Assassins creed I loved, but buying it was a waste, as after I finished it I just could not bring myself to play more than once... same with bioshock, Gears, and a few others.
so that said I just use gamefly for 90% of the games I want to play...and there are a few that make it out to where I want to buy...but those are ones I've played and know they have something that offers me a reason to replay it alot... Like Mass Effect, or ones My kids play alot, so I buy those for them.
the way I look at it. IF I blew the $50-$60 bucks on a game, beat it in a day or two, and just leave it to collect dust, I'm wasting major money by the end of the year, and trade value sucks...
so by going the path of gamefly, then buying used from them, OR gamestop, hastings etc on games I've tested for repeatability, I save alot.

i buy games when my attempts to save my money and not spend it at games workshop are sucessful which is not very often XD
Maybe one every 3 or 4 months. I always trade in, so I've never had more than 4 at once. I also rent every now and then, but they've all been quite rubbish so far.
