There are way too many great games coming out this fall/winter. That said, I know I'll be picking up these for sure:
Def Jam: Fight for NY
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Burnout 3
Sid Meier's Pirates!
ESPN NHL 2K5
HalfLife 2
Fable
KOTOR 2
Everything else (WWE titles, Halo 2, etc) can wait. There's only so many hours in the week, and that's a pretty good mix of pick-up-and-play vs more in-depth titles. Frankly, the amount of AAA titles in such a short time period is ridiculous - and a little worrying from an industry standpoint. How to ensure that your awesome game gets the pub and love it deserves when there are a shitload of other awesome games on the shelf?

I'm a programmer/analyst. I work for a government contractor. Right now I am doing work for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I've been there for almost one year and yes, I still live at home. It sucks but I'm saving for a house and trying to pay off my car (I'm trying to have it all paid for within a year to save on interest) but I guess you wouldn't think that judging by how much money I spend on superfluous stuff like games.
It's not going to cost me $2300. I'm always looking for deals. The Toys R Us buy 2 get 1 free returns in October so I'll grab all of the ones that have been released then. Truth be told I probably won't buy all of those games this year. I'm likely to wait for some of them to hit the bargain bin in January.
Slo said:
I'm sure there are quite a few people here who could afford this... the real question is what job allows you to make that kind of money AND have the free time to actually play the games?
My guess.. maybe Sales.
My list (subject to change)
PC
Half-Life 2 (I have a free coupon for this though)
Call of Duty: UO
Xbox
Halo 2
Fable (this is almost for sure now)
KOTOR 2 (the first game owned!)
PS2
GTA:SA (maybe, waiting to see more changes)
GC
Pikmin 2 (maybe)
I'll most likely wait for Pikmin and GTA to go cheaper, and I'm sure you can throw a sports game or two in there.. NBA Live most likely. It's possible one or two of the PS2 RPG's will jump out at me, as you can probably tell.. I really like RPGs and FPSs.
DAY ONE PURCHASES (assuming I have sufficient funds on hand):

Oh, and I don't see enough KATAMARI DAMACY love in this thread. More KATAMARI, less crap.
