I try to buy my games as cheap as possible I usually don't even look at games over 40€ but LBP and MGS4 were just too much. ;)



DS: about 3.000 €
Wii: about 1.000 €
PSP: about 500 €

PS3: 120 €
=> so far I only bought 3 games (VC 20€, U1 20€, FIFA 10 50€) and the remote, the console was sold out everywhere last Saturday, I'll buy it this week. Does the PS3 slim package not include an HDMI cable?



@ okr, no HDMI cable is included, but you should be able to get them really cheap



Xbox 360
$700 I bought 2 consoles.
Ive probably spent $1000 on games and accessories since then.

PC
$3500 to build new gaming rig + $200 for games and then $1300 for a gaming laptop.

So i spend the most money on PC gaming at $5000. I spent about $1700 on xbox 360 gaming over the last few years.



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

Not officially, no, but most stores bundle 'em in nowadays.
