@civilcourage in your post you said…

“Are you buying new things because it’s exciting and new, maybe have a cool off period to let the excitement die down a little and look at what your actually getting and the liklihood of you playing/using it.”

GW is banking on this particular aspect of gaming with their release system… if you don’t buy in the ‘preorder weekend’ the implication is that you won’t get the new shiny plastic.

Kickstarters are the same with their ‘Early Bird Specials’ and ‘Kickstarter Exclusives’.

There will always be a ‘new shiny’… you can’t get them all… you don’t need them all.

Be strong gamers… resist the temptations of these devils… save your souls… erm… save your money.
