DS Daily: Dancing on the price ceiling

When we saw the marked-down Gundam Cross Drive DS Lite yesterday -- which, by the way, we hope you did, or the picture above won't even come close to making sense -- we briefly considered dropping the $160 for it. But in the end we decided that, even though $160 was cheap for that item, it's still pretty expensive for a thing we didn't need and didn't expect to pay for.
Do you have a ceiling for impulse buys? Does it vary by mood? Or is there a certain amount that you don't mind spending on unplanned game stuff? At what point do you have to start thinking about it?

Oh man. Unless I have gift cards to spend or something, I think hard about pretty much every game I buy, especially new/Square Enix DS games, or console games that are generally $40-60. But often I'll grab any game that looks interesting if it's under $20. I love it when you guys post about sales; you never know what you might find a deal on!
Nice photoshop XD

$20.00 is my cap as well for impulse buys, but in all honesty they happen very rarely. Mostly, I keep up with upcoming releases and plan ahead for what I want to buy, and buy that and nothing else.
