PS3 + PSP + 20 PS3 games + 20 PSP games + 2° SIXAXIS + HDMI = 600 + 250 + 1200 + 1000 + 50 + 30 = 3030 € * 1,55 = 4670 USD since psp launch!

Damn ...



If you guys really want to convert from € to USD, you might as well look for the exchange rates of when you had those expenses, otherwise it's pretty meaningless (unless you just want to inflate the number :P). The € has been getting stronger and stronger, the exchange rate wasn't always as big as now. You should also probably eliminate VAT from the prices, since American prices don't include VAT.

Ouch. $2700 this generation. That's on the low side, too. I'm sure I have spent way more than that on games but since I'm trading them in constantly, buying them from Gamefly (about $20 less sometimes), and shopping for bargains, I have no way to properly add everything together. Since I've purchased well over 20 games this generation, I'm sure it's higher than that.
