As we are in the final stretch - what are you buying for the rest fo the year.

For me:

PS3;

- Eye of Judgement
- Ratchet and Clank Future
- Time Crisis 4
- Haze (depending on reviews, but if it is technically competent, I will probably grab it)
- Manhunt 2

XBOX 360:

- Ace Combat 6
- Jericho
- Tomb Raider: Anniv. (probably not this year.  I own it on PC already.  Also, only will grab if they upgrade graphics to Legend levels.  I need incentive for the double dip.  Still, everyone that hasn't played this should get it)
- FEAR Files
- Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess
- Mass Effect
- Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus
- DDR Universe 2

PSP:

- CastleVania X
- Silent Hill Orgins
- SOCOM: US Navy Seals Tactical Strike
- Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus
- Elder Scrolls Travels (not sure yet) (Depending on rev. . .aw fuck it, it's a PSP game.  I will have this 10 days before it is on sale)

Unknown which platform yet (PS3/X360 ??):

- Blacksite: Area 51 (Uh, don't buy this.  It's by the lead from Deus Ex 2.  Don't give that douche your money)
- Assassins Creed (360 version)


Not sure what else.  I think you mostly have it covered.  

Wii (these may very well be the last games I get before getting rid of the Wii bomba):
Umbrella Chroncles
SMG

DS:
Dragon Quest Monsters Joker (Um, I am not sure about the whole DQMonsters thing, I have never played one before, but the game at least looks hot, and it's a DQ side game, how bad could it be?)

:lol

Only the systems. I got just about every system that I own as Christmas gifts. My parents are never sure about what I want, so they usually get me a new system whenever one is out. They'd never get me something as expensive as a 360 or PS3 though.

I have no clue how you guys can dedicate time to those huge fucking lists of games.

We dont - I end up finishing 6% of the games I buy - but with the collection thair is always the hope of someday having more time to spend.

I will need something to do for a few years after I retire anyway. Daytimes at my own personal office playing games cant be so bad can it?

Then at night time for friends, family, social fun.

The only gaming purchases I have planned are VF5, COD4 and Mass Effect.  And I'm going to try to grab a decent HDTV this winter after I move to a new apartment.  I'd like to get a new laptop as well, but that may be put off to next year.

Yeah, I have seen that. I've been following that Uncharted screen shot/movie thread over at GAF. Absolutely breathtaking.

I'm all like "whoa."

The only two games that stick out are Uncharted and Mass Effect

I also want to get a new HDTV (LCD). Give away my 27" CRT HDTV. The 42" Westinghouse looks really appealing, I figure, by the end of November (Black Friday?) will probably be shaved off $100.

I only got it to play the Fire Emblem exclusive. And because I thought it would have the same stellar picture quality as the GameCube, but unfortunately it ended up having the WORST picture quality in console gaming history. Dithering all over the place, extremely pale output, and even brown tints make for an awful gaming experience, on top of the almost entirely worthless software library. My PS2 games played on a 1080p HDTV look LOADS better, that ain't no joke.

I almost never power the system on. What a shit.

Actually, I don't have very much time.  I'll probably only buy a couple on that list.  At most, I'll probably just buy the top 9 on my IGN wishlist, which are (in order):
R&C Future
Folklore
Uncharted
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness (since I sold my PS2 version)
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles
Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of The Lions
WipEout HD
Beautiful Katamari
Don't get one, it's for your own good.
Since I'm a big DDR fan, I feel so bad for not owning Hottest Party right now, and I badly want NiGHTs (one of my favorite games ever).  Plus, I still want to try a Wii out (never played one).
