I was over at the in-laws place on Sunday playing Wii Fit and explaining to them the cost of getting into video gaming and as I thought more about it I came to the conclusion that video gaming is a life style choice. An expensive one at that! If you ratio the cost/entertainment value its easy to see that it’s a lifestyle better suited for big cash spenders otherwise the once off purchases of the consoles and a game or two don’t equate to the entertainment value of the package.
This lead me to think it would be awesome to brag about the amount of cash we have spent on this generation of video games! Now I know I will pale in comparison to some people but I’ll get the ball rolling with a very close estimate of my expenditures in the current gen, starting with the DS
Wii with 9 games, extra wiimote, light gun peripheral $980AU (I got some awesome game bargains!)
2x DS with 7 games and accessories $805AU
3 game trade ins that lost me about $60AU
Renting games $120AU
Total = $1965AU
I also plan on spending another couple of grand this generation on a HD TV a ps3 and a lot more games
Edit: I double checked my ds colection cos I thought i was missing a game and it was SONIC!!! i 4got all about it! so 8ds games bringing my total to $2,005.00 AU

If at first you don't succeed, you fail
