Hmm I spend so much money on games I think I'll try this, consider me in.
Its really the opposite of a no playing challenge.So is this strictly a no buying challenge, or a no playing challenge? Two very different things.

So I might be out? My wife discovered Mass Effect 3 multiplayer and the 2 of us are going all in with it. I don't expect to do much damage to my backlog since my time is currently being dedicated to this. I still haven't bought any new games this year, outside of my 2 excpetions, but I may pull the plug on the whole initiative
it was no new games except for 4 that I already had preordered, until I clear out my backlog. Currently at 18
How have my brothers been doing?
I haven't updated in awhile. Still no purchases. Found out a past roommate bought both Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite so a couple of the big games that I wanted to play I've been able to borrow.
Honestly the not buying retail games thing hasn't been that hard at all. My particular rules were no new games until my 720ish games were sold off to less than 200. I'm still at around 520 remaining from before as I had stuff going on and then laziness but one busy day of listing lots on eBay will finally take care of that. I did allow buying digital games, though, since I'm really just concerned with how many physical games I own and wasn't playing.
The hardest part is that despite being allowed to buy digitally (which honestly I don't do all that much anyhow) I still accepted the rule of no Steam games for an entire year. This has been rough as there's been some I've really wanted to do. And I'm including Indie bundles in this ruling as well since the majority give Steam keys. The current Humble Bundle looks so good! And there's plenty of other cheap Steam games and sales I've wanted to jump on. It'll make the Christmas sale awesome for me, though, as I'll finally have a list of stuff to buy after having already picked up most everything I wanted in the previous years.
So with the borrowed games and the few XBLA and PSN games I've picked up this challenge hasn't been all that difficult. Now I just need to quit being lazy and finish selling off all the games. I did make a little progress and got them all unboxed after moving and began to sort some out into the keeper pile.
