Heh, the cost of hardware, software, controllers and possibly wi-fi means that the cost of being a gamer adds up over time.

How much money do you reckon you spend on games over the course of a month/year?

Last year I probably spent £150 on games, and recieved £120 worth of games in gifts.

Last year... about 600-800 euro I think, but I'm not sure...
This year already about 450 euro^^

My girlfriend, who does the accounts, actually calculated it... 1400€ last year in software and PC/console gear.

This year I had 2000€ in hardware in jan already

Way over £1000 per year.

$50/month or less, but pretty much never more. So last year I'm fairly sure I spent ~$600

This year I've been buying other stuff with my money and so far I've only bought Pokemon for $35. (edit: forgot I picked up Pokemon Emerald for $3 at a garage sale which I plan on selling for $15 easily once I get done playing it)

$1200 a year not including consoles though I don't own a PS3.
Next year I'm getting to $900 or less hopefully but will be buying a 3DS.

This year i have bought 2 games a month at least so about £200 or more so far, can't remember last year which might be a good thing, i have the feeling i bought a lot of games.

one million dollars....but seriously...one million dollars >_

Too much since buying my PS3 including the console itself $3880, On my PSP $450, DS $350. so about $4700 in about 3 years. All in Aussie dollars.

depends on how many games come out that interest me, This year I've only bought 2, FFXIII, and Mass Effect 2 (PC)

= 110 dollars in 4 months :P

but I usually spend more
