How much do you spend on games a year?

[sketch_zeppelin]

counting downloaded games and add ons?...mabey $500 a year. i mostly buy used games so my spending is lower than it should be considerig how much i game.

Everyone else has already said it, but way too much.

 

[Walkchalk]

SO much that if I counted I would probably hate myself. And feel like the biggest nerd in the world. And possibly spend less, and we cant have that now can we?

 

[Chrono212]

Way too much

But a lot less since I started renting and not pre-ordering every single game that looked vaguely interesting

At a very rough guess, I would say... ~£500 this year (not including a new Xbox)

I'd use to spend about 200-300 AU$ and get about three games. But ever since Steam that 300$ can get me like ten to thirty games depending on when I buy them.

I'd say between $0-$60.

That $60 can be anything from 1 new title to a few used games. I can't afford to be spending money that I don't have on the things I don't need. Kinda sucky.

For myself? MAYBE 50$ a year... for the kids in my house? Hrm.. about 500-1000 dependent on how good the year was.

EDIT: While 50$ for myself is normally high, I did splurge on myself back in febuary and spent 100$ to get...

Seriously best 100$ I ever spent, as I have used it on average 3 hours a day every day, since the day I got it.

maybe 300-400$

 

[tricky_tree]

it's funny, as a kid I wanted more money to buy better games, but now I can spend money, nothing catches my eye, I've been revisiting old classics, so about £70 this past year

 

[Flour]

Generally less than ?100.

This year is an exception because I bought a PS3 and DS so I spent around ?300 on games for those two.

 

[SilentVirus]

About $150. I dont buy new games the often. Damn recession..........

 

[Nazulu]

Do old games count, because it's been awhile since I bought anything new. I'm even planning to get a PS3 to play some PS2 games I had missed out on, and there is a lot I missed out on.

 

[L-J-F]

<$100, but I make sure I buy good ones

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Around $500. This year, I've spent well over $600 because of my PS3, SoulSilver, Bad Company 2, my $100 BioShock 2 Collector's Edition, inFamous, Resistance, Force Unleashed, and a ton more... I can't even count...

 

[MagicMouse]

um, without including peripherals/upgrades....

only about 120-180 a year.

Yeah thats right. I buy a new game, I PLAY IT TO DEATH!!!!!

 

[Sargey]

I'd say around $150-200 a year. It really depends on how long it takes me to get bored of Football Manager games

 

[MaximXavius]

No idea about yearly averages, but since Jan 10 my purchases have been around
£1290 in straight purchases
£125 in digital downloads
£95 on XBLA
£75 PSN
£115 PSP imports

Thats a rough total of £1700 or $2642 give or take a few $s

I buy a lot of preowned games, but I also trade a lot in so it's hard to work it out. It's probably not as much as I think it is though.
