Oh and PS plus $50 to account for some of the games in that list, but I also downloaded all the other games so I don't really count it so much.

Total: $1,137. Add another $100-$200 in there for MMORPG microtransactions.

This is sickening now that I actually added this all up. I actually thought that I was at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to spending games. Even if you remove hardware, it can still potentially add up to $1,000.





I spent far more on gaming this year than I would in an average year.  I know it came to $900+, but I am giving estimates because some of it is used and I don't remember the exact amounts.

Nintendo Switch $330
6 games: Zelda, No More Heroes, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Arms, Splatoon 2, Mario + Rabbids $300
Extra Set of Joycons $88
Subtotal: $718

SNES classic $88

Gameboy player for Gamecube $30
3 games: Astro Boy, Final Fantasy Tactics, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon $60
GBA for controller + Charging Grip + connecting cable $40
S-Video cables for Gamecube $15
Subtotal: $145

Sega Genesis $30
Scart cables + adapters to Component + Component and audio cables $80
controllers $40 (I kept trying to mod a controller into an arcade stick and it took several attempts)
6 games: $70
Subtotal: $220

Total: $1171

As I said, I may be off on some of my estimates, but it was clearly more than $900.

Around 60 euros for 20 something games, very not bad.



My Etsy store

My Ebay store

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Nintendo Switch - €330
Switch travel case - €30
Super Mario Odyssey - €50
Shovel Knight - €20
Undertale (on Steam) - €5

Total - €435



It was kind of a cheap year for me :)

FF14 Stormblood + monthly pay: 150€
Persona 5, South Park and a few games for ~20€ each.

About 300€ in total. :)



311€ and 10 cents.

£253.96 on PSN for various games and a years PS+. Including retail ps4 games (crash, wipeout, some indies) probably around £330.

I bought a GPD XD for £120 as well, but that probably about covers it.

So not too bad, only around £450-£500 , or $600-$700.
