Forums - Gaming Discussion - What's your average game price?

What I mean by this is not the price you've paid per game, but, the total money you've spent by the number of games you have.

When you buy a system, you are not buying that system for the system itself. You are buying it for the games. Therefore when I think of the money I've spent on gaming I think of the total cost of all items related to my games and divede that by the total number of games I actually have to see my average. Obviously, the lower that average the better off I am.

So gaming items I have purchased at the price I got them for, some used.

Wii                    $250
Wii Play             $50
nunchuk            $20
2-classic cont.    $40
Zelda:TP             $50
Excite Truck        $40
Godfather          $33
RE:4                   $25
Madden '08       $50
10-VC Games    $60

TOTAL COST    $618

TOTAL GAMES  16

$/Game        $38.63*

 *(This will slight go up to $38.70 once I buy MP3[$40 off ebay] in 17hrs and counting)

Damn fine deal if you ask me. I can't believe some of you PS3/360 lovers keep trying to say that the Wii is a bad value.

Let's see your $/Game.

Mine is so low because I bought 10 VC games. Your games all all regular Wii games, and you didn't buy them used I think. If you notice I have only paid full price for 2 games.

 Edit: you also didn't include the price for your Wii/accessories.



I'll do the Wii, as going through all my PS2 games would take hours.

Wii-FREE! (Girlfriend got it for me. Booyah.)
Wii Play-$50
nunchuk-$20
Dual charge station - 30
Trauma Center-$50
Elebits-$45
RE4-$25
Strikers - $50

TOTAL COST $270

TOTAL GAMES 5

Been lazy with my game buying but i'm getting ready to move so i need to save some money. Probably will end up buying Carnival Games for my girlfriend... tommorrow really, so you could add that in there if you want.

Don't have my wii hooked up to the internet so no VC stuff. Though honestly i already have a good number of the VC games anwyay.

So it's 54 a game though i don't like to think like that.  If i did it'd be even harder for me to get a PS3 sometime next year.

Nice thread idea. Going off recollection here, so some of my numbers might be off.

Wii + Sports = $0 (Won it in a contest :D)
Misc controllers and hardware = $150
Godfather = $60
Metroid Prime 3 = $60
Resident Evil 4 = $35
4 VC games = $50

If you want to stop there, with Wii-specific games only, it's $355 Cdn total or $44.38 Cdn per game. But I've been loading up on used GC titles.

Killer 7 = $10
Soul Cailber 2 = $10
Tales of Symphonia = $18
Viewtiful Joe 2 = $7
MGS: The Twin Snakes = $20
Metroid Prime = $10
Metroid Prime 2 = $25
Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door = $15

Throw those in the mix and we come out with $470 Cdn total and $29.38 Cdn per game.
