How much do you spend on games a year?

[Breaker deGodot]

Not much, as I end up waiting for a game to get older before buying. I got The Orange Box in mid-2009 for $15.

 

[Alandoril]

Too much and not enough

 

[barash]

Around 200? on games, gotta love Steam's summer sales.

 

[loooooowwww]

ALL!!!! lol nah over 500 euro easy though plus just got a 360 slim does that count? if so 750 euro ! wow thats alot of money, worth it though

 

[Communist partisan]

150 bucks mabey 200

 

[Lukeje]

I don't really want to think about it, but the total would probably run into hundreds of pounds.

 

[Deviltongue]

...Around 900? That's just counting game purchases, it doesn't factor in trading or anything like that so it's probably less.

 

[Continuity]

so far this year about £240. Thats about double my budget and its only August... oh well.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Far, far too much. I don't even want to run calculations because I would terrify myself.

this for sure, i really really dont want to look at it..the amount of money could be in the 4 digits..even 5 if im crazy enough and won the lottery..

i do work a decent amount tho, so its not like im livin like a poor man on the street because of it. if i really needed the money i could stop at any time..

but i also am a a massive trade in person, so that might explain why i play 3x the amount of games than my friends do..

i probably have played...a good 20-30 new games this year alone, in which they were all mine at some point. and this fall ill add another 10 games easily im sure.

 

[The Ambrosian]

probably 300-400 pounds. Yeahh. I spend a lot. I'm enjoying the money I get showered on me as 14 year old while it lasts.

 

[ICanBreakTheseCuffs]

as I buy every game's collector's edition about 500-700

 

[TOGSolid]

I don't know, nor do I want to know, frankly I'd probably poop myself if I found out.

 

[Ertol]

I spent like $100 dollars a year or so on average. I generally just buy games from Ebay or Amazon for $5 dollars or whatnot. I end up with way more then enough games, but I hate spending $60 on a new game that sucks, so I generally wait.

 

[RooftopAssassin]

Not much, I rent a lot though. Renting really lowers my gaming costs, except for my PC games which I pretty much go out on a limb for.

 

[Treblaine]

Well, I have had a bumper year this year. I lost most of my games in a house fire and finally got a capable gaming PC again. So I've been on a spending spree every steam-sale (ooooh, christmas and summer sales) and making comprehensive list of all the great game worth playing.

But I'm pretty maxed out on games now, really, I have bought most of the games I want from the past 10 years. Even considering that, I'd say I've spent about £350 on games in the past 12 months.

EDIT: this has literally gotten me HUNDREDS of PC games. I just realised if I had been buying console games at launch price £350 would only get me 8 games! *GULP*

 

[trying to hide my account]

from $500 to $1500 but each game will cost around $100.

 

[Janus Vesta]

A lot, around ?300-?500, but some years a lot more. Truely an expensive hobby.

[DeaconSawyer]

Steam sales keep my expenses pretty low, so not too much. <3 Steam.
