I spend about $300 a month on gaming. Multiply that by 48 months... I know I spent $2000 in december, but we'll just do an average... so, $300 times 48 would be what, $8000? Damn, you still beat me outlawauron...

Seriously though, I'd love to sit down and calculate how much I've spent exactly.

Around $3,500 minimum.

Edit - Forgot handhelds. -.-

Consoles + Handhelds + Controllers + Games = Around $4,700+

What an expensive hobby.

All of this dates back to Black Friday of 2004, when I picked up my first Nintendo DS.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

I pulled out a calculator and just went through my game collection.

I didn't add in controllers, though. I got 4 360 controllers, 4 Wiimotes, 2 Nunchucks, 3 Wii Wheels, and 5 PS3.

Edit: Forgot DLC

360 + $400

Wii + $100

A lot...

200$ PSP
650$ PS3
650$ (Sony Bravia 32'' TV)
17x 60$ (PS3 Games)
1x 40$ (PSP game)
6x 20$ (PSP games)

I'm guessing close to 3000$. That's a bit embarrassing.
