However much chump-change I make over eBay, basically. That money basically goes to two things: booze and games.

also note that I'm a used-game scavanger. I have no problem waiting like a really long time so that I can get two or three used 1-year old games for 50 bucks as opposed to one new game for 50 bucks.

I spent about 3,000 last year. I got a pro 360,40gb ps3,wii. So that is 1000. I bought a 1000 dollar gaming pc. 2000 dollars right there. Then I bought about another 800 in games. Oh and I bought a psp so that is about 200. So yeah about 3,000.

EDIT oh and you think my gaming budget is big. You should know my pet budget is about 50% bigger.

in 2007

wii 250
Warioware smooth moves 50
Zelda twilight princess 50
Black DS lite 130
Pokemon D&P 35+35=70
Pink DS for little sister 130
Elite Beat agents 20
Sonic Rush 15
Used DS for little brother 80
Super Mario Galaxy 50

TOTAL $845

 Same here - except it's a necessity on my budget. I'm just getting around to playing games that came out a few years ago, since they're so cheap now.

 I do the same as you.... I wait till later in the generation (or occasionally after it) to get games that came out earlier.

In fact if you ignore Wii games (and VC) the last game I bought was Eternal Darkness for the GC (£5 last week), before that it was an N64 game: Perfect Dark.... before that it was Chibi Robo (about a month after release but it wasn't full price) and before that was Jet Force Gemini.

I don't really have a budget though, I see where I am money wise and spend what I can..... As I posted in the other thread I have spent about £500 this gen (all of which was within 1 year because I got the Wii on 6th Feb 2007)

I think my last generation total is only about £600-700 though, so I think I am going a bit overboard.

Last year I spent a lot... Don't keep track because I would probably cut back if I did. Anything that gets 8+ rating I buy in week one. 7-8 I buy on sale new...

in 2007
Wii Console
Wii Play
M & S at Olym. Games
SMG
Super Paper Mario
MP8
so $700

My brother usually purchases the Wii and PS2 games for me so I Just get the DS games that I like.

For the DS Games it would be good if the price was 30 but my maximum price for a game is 35; the games that I got for the DS were Pearl Super Mario 64 Super MOnkey ball and some other game that I don't seem to remember. You can do the math for me :)

For the Wii games my bro. gets all of them are 50.

Well I bought my PS3 this year, came with 4 games and an extra controller for about £575. Er, ive bought another 10 games or so, and about 5 off the PSN including warhawk. All in all about £1000 this year.
