2023 and beyond is as locked and loaded as much as Gamestop will allow it to be for me.

I can't preorder anything from the console manufacturers except for Zelda which I did. Once those become available, I'll take care of those.

Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Island 2 and the Star Wars game are just placeholders until the Collector's Edition of Street Fighter 6 can be preordered. I wanted a legendary Diablo but no physical so whatever. Same with Final Fantasy.

$1043.63 is the current tally.

I've fallen in love with the F1 game from Codemasters and with the newest one coming out this year plus Forza, I'm probably going to get a wheel. I don't know if I'll get the full setup but I'm probably going to bite on a wheel. Logitech G923 is likely to be the one. Other hardware is a Quest 3 if it drops. If Nintendo shadow drops new hardware this year, add that to the pile. 2023 is probably going to be a pricey year but that just means that it was a great year for gaming.

Gamestop? Haven't set foot in one of those in years. Everything is Amazon or Best Buy for me now. Is there some advantage to shopping there?

No advantages. Just the store I've always used. I don't have those horror stories from gamestop, likely because I'm a day one buyer.

This is true but it applies to non-AAA games also. Silksong been in development damn near 5+ years now. The creator of Bugsnax posted under it saying they probably ain’t releasing their next game until next gen now.

The only exceptions are like assassin creed or pokemon games at this point
