What are you buying this week?

[Turtle]

Dragon Age II PC

Should last until crysis 2 comes out.

[CeeKay]

I bought Dragon Age II back in January (at 25% off), does that count?

I'm not sure why Kane & Lynch 2 is on the 360 list.

[Dante Rising]

Phantom Brave: The Hermuda Triagle

I'm holding off on dragon Age II, as I haven't finished the first one.  BTW, the very slick hardcover collector's edition strategy guide is on sale for $21.49 at Amazon.

[CeeKay]

BTW, the very slick hardcover collector's edition strategy guide is on sale for $21.49 at Amazon.

damn, that is nice looking.  I'm tempted, but I have only bought 2 strategy guides in like forever (DA:O and Fallout: New Vegas) and neither one got much use.  heck, I forgot all about the DA:O one until you mentioned the DAII one.

[wonderpug]

Pokemon White

Was also expecting to buy MLB: The Show on the PS2 but I don't see it on the list.  Oh well.

[CeeKay]

Was also expecting to buy MLB: The Show on the PS2 but I don't see it on the list.  Oh well.

it's coming out this week too.

[TiLT]

Already pre-ordered and pre-loaded Dragon Age 2 on Steam. I hope I won't regret it.

[Razgon]

Nothing - Well, at least until Tilt reports back that the game is great! ;-)

[wonderpug]

Was also expecting to buy MLB: The Show on the PS2 but I don't see it on the list.  Oh well.

it's coming out this week too.

Destructor sees PS2 games coming out this week but omits them from the list because he can't imagine anyone still wanting them.  Against all odds someone wants one but doesn't see it on the list.  Hilarity ensues.  Much rejoicing.

[Azhag]

Dragon Age 2. Maybe Torchlight later if i get a hankering for it... liked it on the PC.

[EddieA]

Dragon Age 2 for PS3!

[msteelers]

Dragon Age 2, but I'll have to wait to buy it. I will probably try and rent it from Blockbuster though.

[coopasonic]

Dragon Age II PC

Ditto. Had no idea it as coming out until I saw a thread about the demo, now I can't wait for it!

[Bullwinkle]

Dragon Age 2 for me, assuming I can plow through the ending of the first one (just finished the Landsmeet).

I may also be getting Yoostar 2.  The first one got good reviews, but didn't sell because of expensive peripherals (camera, green screen, etc).  Now it looks like all you'll need is Kinect or the Eye and you're good to go.  I'm hoping for a review first, though.

Oh, and Torchlight.

[Gratch]

I'm interested in Dragon Age 2, but not feeling the need to make it a day one purchase.  I have two or three other games that I'd like to wrap up first, so I'll get around to it eventually.

Isn't Vagrant Story hitting PSN this week?  If so, I'll grab that.

[Ralph-Wiggum]

Dragon Age 2, but I'll have to wait to buy it. I will probably try and rent it from Blockbuster though.

You still have open Blockbusters in your area? 

[Bullwinkle]

Vagrant Story was last week, actually.

[PR_GMR]

Nada.. since I got sucked into 'Rift' just this past weekend. I still need to sample 'Dragon Age' before even considering the sequel. Plus, need to save my money for my trip to Austin, TX for SXSW this weekend. 

[Gratch]

Vagrant Story was last week, actually.

Huh...looked yesterday and couldn't find it.  Need to look harder, apparently. 

[Eel Snave]

Yeah, I bought it last week, so unless I was tripping balls again, it's there. 

[denoginizer]

Maybe Torchlight.

[Bullwinkle]

THE SHOW

[Autistic Angel]

Pokemon White and Dragon Age 2 for the PC.

-Autistic Angel

[hepcat]

I'm holding off on dragon Age II, as I haven't finished the first one. 

Same here.  I need to finish the Awakening expansion first.  but with Rift taking up all my free time, Two Worlds 2 and the expansion for Divinity 2 waiting in the wings, it may be a while.  the good thing is that if starts going on sale as quickly as the first one did (I think it was within six months that I saw it for almost half off on steam or some other digital sales site), I'll save me some cash.

[Purge]

Dragon Age II for PC.

I am teh weak.

[The Grue]

Two copies of Pokemon Black (one for me and one for my son), one copy of Pokemon White (for my daughter), Dragon Age 2 for the PC, and I also picked up the latest Golden Sun.

[Larraque]

Was going to get Dragon Age but gamefly is sending it my way. Yay!!! 

[Soulchilde]

Dragon Age 2 from Steam already pre-loaded

[leo8877]

I am interested to see how Torchlight is on XBL, might end up buying that if the trial is good.

[metallicorphan]

may buy Dragon Age II this week,although not sure how many pennies i have...not in any rush to be honest(still half way through replaying the first game.....damn the circle of magi is a pain) so i can buy it the week after if need be

but i should be picking up Torchlight for XBLA

[msteelers]

Dragon Age 2, but I'll have to wait to buy it. I will probably try and rent it from Blockbuster though.

You still have open Blockbusters in your area? 

For now we do. I did notice that one had a going out of business sign up, which probably means that all of the blockbusters will be gone from this area shortly. When I was in Orlando I remember the blockbuster by my house going out of business, and it was less than a year before the rest followed.

[JayDee]

MLB 2K11 and Torchlight.

[Beer Goggles]

It is truly the age of dragons.

Pre-loaded on Impulse.

[Destructor]

Was also expecting to buy MLB: The Show on the PS2 but I don't see it on the list.  Oh well.

Yeah, I stopped posting PS2 updates because short of the latest Madden, nothing has come out for like the last 6 months.

[Nonnahob]

Dragon Age 2 on 360.

[JuniorDan]

Dragon Age 2 on 360.

[disarm]

Dragon Age 2 (PC)...preordered it months ago, but something has come up that will keep me from playing it for several weeks

[kronovan]

Dragon Age, but I'm actually hoping Box Set 2 of the tabletop RPG finally goes on sale this week so I can buy it.  The latest episode for the tabletop RPG was developed in  conjunction with DA2, so I'm holding off on the video game until the box set is in my hands.
