We all know money doesn't grow on trees and video games don't rain from the sky, the only way to get them is to earn them. So what will you be doing to earn the upcoming games and consoles of 2011-2012??

Super mario 3d-Maybe a X-mas thing.
Mariokart-x-mas
paper mario-selling my old stuff
zelda skyward sword-Depends on release date, If december than it would be a xmas thing or if fall it would be a b-day thing.
luigis mansion-Doing chores and selling more stuff
rayman origins- Using my B-day money
Kirby wii- Another game buying with my b-day money.
Kid icarus uprising-I am thinking about this game...
Mario party 9-f it is like mario party 8 then this game is on my hatelist.
Zelda orcarina of time 3D-Already all saved up!!!
Zelda wii u (If it is confirmed) Sell stuff and w-w-w-work...
Super mario brother mii (If confirmed) Same with zelda.
wii U- (Oh crud $350 bucks) ugh I will have to sell to extreme, Mow to death and work to epicnessss.

Not sure how I will be able to purchase most of the games... There are just way too many games coming out soon xD... But since I am graduating very soon, so it's time for me to find a job

I have a job. It used to be part time, but since I graduated it has become full time.

Scam my grandma, like how I got my 3DS xD

* facepalm *

I have some money saved up to buy games. Being a student is tough!

I have myself a job. Also have some Birthday/Graduation money

Well let's see....

Ocarina of Time - Already paid off
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 5th Anniversary pack - Already preordered and paid off
Cave Story 3D - Already paid off
Star Fox 64 3D - Already paid off
Kid Icarus Uprising - Already paid off, but depending on release date, I may just ask for it for christmas and use money on something else
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - $10 off coupon that comes with 5th anniversary edition of oblivion, just withdraw money from checking account.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations - withdraw money from checking account
Skyward Sword - Most likely christmas

Pretty much i have most preordered, and i have money for others.

But I can get money for games easily. My parents usually give me more money than I need to pay for the bus whenever I visit, so the extra money goes to game funds.

Also, my grandma feels that she needs to give me money for every holiday, including haloween and thanksgiving. So theres some money.

And also because I am living in a house with friends this next year rather than a dorm, I am paying about $500 less per year, so thats money that can go into game funds, but mostly toward a car and food.

Also, because I won't be living in the dorms, I am not forced to get a meal plan. The meal plans average to about $10 per meal. I can buy groceries for a week for $50 max. This saves me about $160 per week. This I can use for games, but should go toward a car and house payments.

well, my 3ds was acctually an extremely late christmass presant from my mom XD lol. then in may was my birthday, so I was able to buy a couple games then (got and sold star wars and sims, i now have street fighter, pilotwings and pokemon black) for zelda, im selling pilotwings and paying for the rest with left over birthday money. mercanaries im getting for a late birthday presant from my boyfriend ^_^ and then... im hopefully getting a job over the summer O.O there are so many games comming out this fall/winter.... I might have to not go to my con in the fall >.<

Yay fellow congoer! I have my con this fall paid off already, and I don't buy anything from cons because everything is just waaaay too expensive there. I just go to hang out with people and cosplay.

I have about $3,500 saved. Also, I ref soccer games which pays very well.
