I was just curious. Please don't be stupid and count 'a new hdtv and stereo'. All you should add in are the system(s), games, and accesories. Some prices are a little lower due to ebay. I love ebay.

That's a subtotal of $555
*Tax (7.8%) of $30
That's a grand total of $585 on my Wii!!

Wow, nearly $865 in 6months when you include the $280 I spent on my brothers 360 for xmas/eid.

Speaking of thier 360...

So, I have 10 more games and spent almost $100 less.





 

Wii: 0 dollars

PS3: 0 dollars

Xbox360: 0 dollars

So, a total of 0 dollars. Wait, does PC gaming count? Oh. Ouch. Well then:

That's all I've bought this year. I also have a G5 Logitech Laser Mouse, an IceMat Audio headset, and a ViewSonic 19'' LCD screen with a 2MS refresh rate that I purchased for last year's computer. That's another 350-400 dollars. My HD and Sound Card are years old, and I have no recollection of what I spent on them.

Total: 1750-1800 dollars.

Nice PC. I will probably build a new one this year. My current is about 4 years old now.

Maybe a little in the red but not much.

Oh, I didn't even include games T_T

Pretty sure I'm going to win! Unless someone else has a gaming rig like I do. I take great delight in stomping all over PS3 owners who think their console is super elite futuristic technology, by the way.
