well I am not sure what kind of wages UK people get but I guess for sample I bought GTA:VC for $20AUD is is probably about £6 but on PS2. So quite old now.

Wii points cards are about $20AUD for 100points I think. So I guess the exchange rate sort applies well to the UK pound.

I guess to put things into perspective, that $10,000AUD was spend over roughly 3 years which would be about 10% of my total wage earned in three years after tax. Would £3500 roughly equate to 10% of 3 years averge wages after tax?

I guess you mean $20AUD for 1000points otherwise that's a serious rip-off... if you buy a "nintendo" points card in a shop now it's £20 for 2000 points... before they combined Wii and DS points though Wii points were £15 for 2000... and I now buy them from the channel instead with a credit card because 2000 points comes to £14.

minimum wage here is £5.93 per hour..... and average yearly salary is probably about £25k so over 3 years £75k... although those are before tax.

When I bought the Wii in Feb 2007 though I was at Uni.
In the 4 years since I "joined this gen" I have earned about £6000 after tax, so gaming has taken up a little over 1/6th that... although I currently live with my parents so I don't have proper rent/mortgage etc to pay.
