How much do you spend on games a year?

I was going to say that I spend under $100 in a year, but I started doing the math, and it seems to be even lower than that. Off the top of my head I can name 40 some-odd dollars worth of PC games in the last year. Since most of them came from thrift shops and steam sales, I bought a lot more games than that would imply -- come to think of it, I haven't paid full price for any games this year, even though I bought a few of them new at retail. I know I also bought a couple of PS2 games from the under $10 bin at Gamestop, but I think I'm safely under $70 for the year so far.
The funny part is, I had a job for the better part of the year, which means I've probably spent more this year than I do on average. I imagine if you add the books, CDs, Records, Cassette Tapes, VHS tapes, DVDs, and movie tickets I've bought this year, you'd see a much higher entertainment budget. Might be fun to work that out sometime.
Edit: Forgot that I dropped $20 on a used copy of F.E.A.R. this year, putting my PC purchases closer to $60. I still think I'm under $100 on directly gaming related purchases, but It wouldn't surprise me if I break $100 some time in the next few months.

I'd say about $200 to $300 depending if I need updates for my Recording Equipment when it comes to my "Let's plays" then maybe add another $100 in there.
Definately > $1000.00 but almost definately < $2500.00 in the last 12 months. Not including my upgrade to a 360S and a FFXIII PS3.
And a new HD TV.
I'm also a student.
I live in Australia, so like $1000.00 =
Collectors Dragon Age and all DLC
Borderlands and the DLC disc
Fallout 3 GOTY
FFXIII
Heavy Rain
Collectors Mass Effect 2
Reach Legendary Edition
I know it's more than that though as I've bought many other games.
Why yes, I like Collectors Editions.
