What is everyone's holiday sale wishlist looking like? When I say holiday sale wishlist for those that need an explanation not the games that are coming out; unless you are holding out for some random sale on those, but the games that you missed during the year or year(s). IF you want to list all the games you are buying this season by all means it at least keeps the thread busy.

I have seen it mentioned a few times so I figured why not start a thread about.


Currently my list on Amazon Stands as Follows:

Little Big Planet 2: Special Edition - Me and Wife likes these
Assassin's Creed III - Someone has to put this on sale
NBA 2K13
Ratchet & Clank​ Collection - Wife Xmas Gift
Borderlands 2
Devil May Cry Collection
Killzone Trilogy Collection
Forza Horizon - Every Year a Forza Comes out its cheap during the holidays
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Purchased this once gave it away now I want it back
Jak & Daxter Collection - Wife loves these gaames,Wife Xmas Gift
God of War Saga Collection
Ratchet & Clank​ Future: A Crack In Time -Wife Xmas gift
Midnight Club: Los Angeles (Platinum Hits)

I tend to buy most of my games during this time of year and they last me for awhile as I don't buy many games throughout the year besides the one or two sporadic buys(or AAA titles) and also the Steam Summer Sale I buy from, but console wise this is my yearly gaming. I am sure my list will get longer as it gets closer to XMas.

Need for Speed is pretty good especially if you were a fan of burnout paradise, the only complaint is the fact that all the cars are already unlocked ( you have to locate them in the world) but that honestly doesn't bother me that much as a man with kids dammit I just want to race.

Pretty cool concept with friends online and friends with the game, how your gamer picture will be on billboards if you have earned the most rep (points) compared to your friends as being the most wanted. The cops are ruthless I tell ya!!!!!!

I think this might be the first Christmas (since I was like 5 years old with my Intelivision) where I do not ask for/receive a video game related gift. Nothing has really caught my eye as a must have this year. ACIII seems interesting but I'd rather rent it first before dropping $60 on it so I'll probably be waiting awhile for that bad boy to become available on GameFly

Pretty much in the same boat at CLW. I have pretty much everything I need. The only game that I might consider is the Family Guy game but based on what little we have seen, I am doubting it will be good enough to purchase at retail price.

Rocksmith and that's it. Any other games that I wanted, I bought already. Just like last year, it's nothing but DVDs for me.

Thats what happens when you guys don't leave room for something to buy later, nothing to aspire for :) As you can see, some of mine are Xmas gifts and the few others are really dependent on prices more than anything, they are by no means guaranteed buys!

I always buy a shit ton of blu-rays during this time of the year, this might actually be the first year where I don't really have anything to buy...unless police academy finally comes out on blu ray!!! :0

I've really only played 2 2013 releases this year, Mass Effect 3 and NCAA Football 13. This is the least amount of games I've ever played in a calendar year.

I don't buy guys during the christmas season. I refuse to participate in the insanity that is the "holiday" season.

Safe to say I will never play FIFA online with Mors again.

My current Amazon "Hoping for Black Friday sales" list:
WWE '13
Fallout 3: GotY (probably won't buy it ever without a good sale)
Uncharted 3
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
Batman: Arkham City GotY
Mass Effect 3 (though I made hold out for ME Trilogy)

I'll also give serious thought to a 360 this year, with a good deal. Especially if there's a Halo 4 bundle.

After being in your situation last year, Natch, I went out of my way to wait until Black Friday this year.

Yeah, if I do buy any guys (;)), it'll be on Black Friday through Steam's sale.

I did the exact same thing this year. I hated it when I would buy something on day one and stil by xmas I hadnt finished it and on any given week during the holidays it was 50% off, so I figured I would just wait from now on on most titles and only get a couple during the year.
