For my list, it's not really a MUST buy, but just a want list for, well, one day. I'll even use a star system out of 3 (1 being less, 3 being the most) of how much I'd want the game. Heh amusing idea, because I know I have my wish list of games/anime/manga on a paper with all the prices^^ (Note that my prices are in Canadian bucks^^) How can you tell i don't own too many games, and only actually play/buy a select certain ones^^
PS
------
**FF9 - $19
*FF Orgins - $19
*FF Chronicles - $19
*FF Anthology - $19
PS2
-------
***.hack//GU vol.1 - $44
Dance Factory - $54 (no star because it's one of those games that I'd only want if say, I got it as a present or something)
***Dirge of Cerberus -$54 (reg) $30 (greatest hits - because I'd rather wait and get it then, knowing it will end up as one)
***FF12 - $54 (reg) $30 (greatest hits - same as above)
PS3 (whenever/IF get one ONLY when they go down in price)
--------------
***FF13 - $?
***FF13 Battle - $?
***Sonic the Hedgehog - $?
GBA
-------
**FF Dawn of Souls - $? (Been a whiel since I've seen it for sale)
***FF Tactics Advance - $44 (much too expensive >_<)
**FF5 - $39
**FF6 - $?
*Sonic Advance 1, 2, 3 - $24
*Pokemon Sapphire/Emerald/Ruby - $47 (likewise with above)
Pokemon Leaf Green - $24 (depends, since I just picked up Fire Red)
DS
-----
***FF3 - $39
***FF12 Revanent Wings - $?
**Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - $?
**Sonic Rush - $19

Wow looks like my star idea caught on a little^^ I try and look at my priorities with games to be soemtimes like "well, do I really need it?" when it comes to my decisions and stuff. Sadly enough, I just updated my list with a buy so good that I couldn't pass up: Mario Bros 3 Advance is usually 44 bucks at it's lowest, but got a previously played on from a movie rental place closing out for only 14 bucks! Although my want list is big, I gotta control my money @_@...
