Forums - Gaming - How much do u spend on consoles?

U guys may think im a cheap ass but ive never spend over $200 on any console or $250 including games. Id be willing to go about $50 higher but anything over that I refuse. Here is my history of consoles ive bought with my own cash, not including presents or used consoles.

Gamecube w/Super Mario Sunshine-$149.99

Wii-$199,

Smash Bros-$50=$249

3DS-$169, OoT 3D-$30=$199

PS3 w/Infamous Collection, Uncharted Double Pack-$199, Uncharted 3-$25, GoW Saga-$25=$249

Also im hoping to get a Wii U, Pikmin 3 and Wind Waker HD for under $300 this holiday

I've never had to buy a system by myself before so I can't say. All my systems either came as gifts or my siblings and I split the $ to get one.

I guess it would depend on the value I see the system having. If it's worth $600 then I'd spend that much but it better come with tons of cool features and about 5 bundled games...



n64 whatever the launch price was
gcn = $329
wii = $399
ps3 = $700 or so (can't remember exact valee but I got the 40gb model)
360 = about $500
Wii U = $430

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

$500 on my PS3. $350 on my Vita + $49 memory card + $69 Uncharted: Golden Abyss.



Hmmmm quite a lot.

Let's see. This gen alone it would be somewhere in the $9,000 - $10,000 range including hardware, software, headsets and subscriptions.

Wii + 40 games + 3 extra controllers

2 x Xbox360s + 40 games + 3 controllers + Hard drives + 2 turtle beach headsets + racing wheel

PS3 + 10 games + controller + turtle beach headset + play TV

PSP + 5 games (traded)

DS lite + 15 games
