I erm think we should make a thread like a offcial one, like how much you spend as you spend it

Can you add up the numbers and show how you arrived at the crazy number of $6000?

Myself I spent rufly $800. On 5 or so games plus PC upgrade.

I also went way overboard last year. I'm gonna cut back a bit in 09.

Well I spent about $1500 on games alone last year but if we include hardware like the OP did, then my total also close to $6000 with my TV and surround sound setup

Woah, that's quite a bit.........no, no.......it's a lot! That could last me like 7-10 years, since I spent somewhere in the neighbourhood of $600-$800.

last year i spent about 2000 dollars this year probably 2500 - 3000 dollars but i'm pretty well off so i'm not that worried about it to be honest.

You need to cut back on games and try to save money on more important things. As a PC gamer, If you only play games on PC, you're likely to spend more money on updates, new games, updating hardware and other things. Just try to save up a lot of money and spend less.

I bought an Xbox 360 and spent $40 additional upgrading it, a DS bundle ($180), and 31 other games. This year I will buy no systems and 9 games max, though I may buy a HDTV.

BTW, 6000 is a lot to spend on games. Maybe you should just rent those PS2 games.

Virgin Alert!!! Virgin Alert!!!! LOL. You could have bought a decent boat for that kinda money or even a nice car.

Heh this isn't something I would brag about buddy. LOL 6k.

Great...Well I bought last year Ps3 and PSP + all games I have on each platform..Tho I got ps3 as a precent.
But I bought all games as used,and then sold some of those games back.
Well GH4 and Mgs 4 were 2 games which I paid full price..
Around 500€
