Forums - Gaming - How much money do you spend a month on gaming?

Thought id be interesting to get a gauge on what the average Vgchartz member spends a month on gaming.

 

For me I usually spend about 60 bucks NZ a week so about $240NZ a month which just over $200US

Prob not very much when there's nothing really out. But around the holiday season with tons of releases I can spend up to anywhere of $200-$300 a month

As much as i need to buy the games i want

This year was pretty cheap so far



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

That's my sentiments too so far this year. There hasn't been a lot I've wanted to buy

I haven't been spending much since PS+ arrived. I now have such a massive backlog from PS+ that I don't really spend anymore. Digitally, I only spent $680 on PSN.

I spend around 0 PHP (Philippine peso) on computer gaming. My PC has terrible specs, so I only play abandonware. On console gaming around 800 PHP.



it depends on what's coming out. sometimes it's over $100 and sometimes it's nothing for several months.



all i know is in 2015 im going to be broke as hell

Usually around £50-£100. Unless there's a new console out, or a special edition one (I'm looking at you, Zelda and Yoshi 3DS) then that sounds about right



Maybe you should have a poll?

My plan was to buy one PS4 a month (so $60).
So far, outside of the PS4 launch, I bought only 3 PS4 games (Infamous, WD, and Tomb Raier when it was on 50% sale).
And for the rest of 2014, I'll only buy FIFA, Evil Within and Far Cry 4.

So, in the entire 2014 I will buy 6 games for a total of $330.
