Forums - Gaming Discussion - How much are you paying per hour of fun?

I had my ps2 for 6 years, played around 900 hour and have 15 games, i bough it at US$200,

and games were around US$60

So my ps2 gave me 1 hour of fun for every US$1.22 i spent on it.

Based on this kind of analisys, which have been the most expensive console you have owned? considering that the more you play with the original investment the cheaper the hour of fun per dollar become

 

i cant tell about the nes and snes but i think that my ps1 was about US$1.50 per hour of fun, and i know that my Ps3 is rigth now at US$8.00 per hour of fun (around US$210 on game US$500 on console, 100 hours of playtime)

Or I just don't keep track of it ;P
But yes, I do use my PS3 a lot, for games and other stuff as well.



In order of most expensive-
PC(s)
PS3
Xbox 360
Wii

and least expensive per hour of play time was
Gameboy- I played it for 100s of hours and only spent like $180 on it (since I was so young and my parents bought most of the games)

I would venture to guess you played more than 900 hours, unless you play less than 3hr/week on average. I typically do 3 hours every Saturday morning before my wife gets up.

anyways.

PS3 is by far the most expensive, but so far I've only watched 4hr of movies, and played 20hr of games.

so $15.18/hr

for comparison

Wii, bought 3 extra Wiimote+nunchuck, 1 classic, 1 wireless sensor bar, 25 games.

~$0.82/hr

Considering all the games I've played for extended amounts of time my wife plays with me, you could drop that cost/hour even cheaper if you added per person.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
