Forums - Gaming Discussion - Can you make a rough estimate of how much you´ll spend on gaming this year?

lord i wouldn't want to see my numbers for anything. i switched over from PC to console gaming last February. so in 11 months I've bought.

one PS3 and about six or so games and gave the PS3 and the games away to a friend.
bought 2 XBox Elites for myself, bought 2 XBox Pro's for needy kids 1 new HDTV bought for one of the kids to play on also
bought 1 new HDTV for myself just for the Elite in my home office. I've bought games for myself, games for needy kids, I've bought games i never play just so when i bring children over from big brother big sister program over for them to play, games for friends, steering wheels, a million rechargeable batteries, gave Xbox gold cards away by the hand full at work, 3 THX surround sound speaker sets for kids, and on and on.

I'll be spending roughly $800-1200 on gaming this year. Depends on what stuff is brought to XBL/PSN/WiiWare. That's the surprise buys for me.

new PSP = £129.99
new DS = £99.99

lots of Games = £500+



About $200 - $1,000.

I have fuzzy memory when it comes to spending :)



Well, I'll be upgrading my rig for about 1200$ or so (two terrabyte drives, new GPU and double the RAM) and this year I'll be buying a PS3 and probably a 360 as well. Add on top of that all the games I want to get (and probably will), I'd say I'm gonna spend around 2500$ on gaming this year, new TV not included.
Whew!



PS3:

Killzone 2
inFamous
White Knight Chronicles
PES 2010
Ratchet 2009
Uncharted 2
Call of Duty 6
(Don't worry, GoW 3 and Heavy Rain will end up by my PS3, I just wont pay for them)


All at £40, so £280 total

360:

Tom Clancy's HAWX
Star Ocean 4
Mass Effect 2
Assassin's Creed 2

So £160 in total

PC:

Empire Total War special edition £35

I am also planning on buying some old games adding up to £40

The money saved by getting some of these discounted or as presents will be offset by me getting some PSP games at some point, so the total is

£515



£0.00

I complete online surveys for Amazon / HMV e-vouchers that allow me to buy a few hundred £s worth each year, meaning I spend none of my own money.
