I'm 19 and got 8 consoles, 5 heldhands and probably over 300 games, or more.

You guys have got to tell me where you find these paper routes. Hell that first kid is telling me he's spent on video games close to what I make in a year after taxes. LOL (bitterly)


 

Lolz I don't really have lots of money, I'm just very good at finding games for really good prices.


 My brother and I were similar. I don't think either of us (or my parents) purchased a PC game at full price until I was 16 or so. AU$15 was about the limit (most PC games were $60+ at the time), with many of our games being bought in large amounts at sales for AU$5-10 each. We'd easily have 300+ PC games from over the years.

I also purchased a gamecube late in its life. Out of the 24 games I own, only 4 of them were new, and even then I didn't pay any more than AU$60 for a game. The most expensive 2nd hand one I got was AU$32.

The Wii on the other hand has been a different story. Since I actually have a decent income now, I own 18 games, with most of them purchased at "full" price (full price being whatever the cheapest I could get them at release was). 

 On the topic of older gamers, My uncle is 57 and recently bought a 360. Last I spoke to him a few weeks ago, he was getting into Gears and Assassin's Creed.
