To all the gamers

How much money do you think you spent on video games in your life?

Give your best rough estimate and try and include the following:

Consoles+Console games
Subscriptions
DLC
Accessories

....Basically anything related to gaming



I think I spent around $5,000-$20,000

Vidya Gaems: Easily $1000
Computers and Parts: $8,500+
Accessories (3D glasses when they FIRST came out, etc): $200ish
MMO Subscriptions: $900+

Total: $10,600

This isn't counting the games I've downloaded over the years

well i used to buy games quite often and then trade most of them back in towards new games but i have been so broke for a while now that i havent bought but a few in the past like 2 years. i dont think i actually want to know how much ive spent, lol. im sure its quite a bit.

N64 console and games: about $1,000
PS2 console and games: about $1,000 also
PC games: $500
PC graphics cards: $600

Total: $3,100

Yeah, in actuality it's probably pushing $4,000

2-3 Grand.

I have no consoles, 2 computers I spent maybe $1200, PC games around $1000 although I download a lot of games.

Fifteen or twenty dollars, give or take.

I rent games from GameFly, but ended up buying three of them so far. So that's 60. Bought SmackDown vs RAW! 2010 for 50 dollars, after I traded in my RE5 for 8 dollars. Bought CoD:WaW which was 20.

As far as consoles... my Xbox 360 was close to 500. My PS3 was 200. My PSP was 300.

And I guess you can include my GameFly, which is 24 dollars a month. I've had it for about 7, 8 months now.

However, I sold my DS Lite for like 80 dollars. But it cost me 250. I had it for years though.

As far as PC games, the ones I have for Steam were gifted to me. I did buy GTA IV for Steam for 5 dollars. Everything else is just games you can download for free, and play for free.

So.... yeah... too much monies. :club:

Oh, and XBL, which I buy a year for like 33 dollars.

Hmmmm... hard to gauge an exact tally because I frequently purchase and resell used games, depending on whether or not they're good enough to keep. So I've lost a lot of money just through reselling games, but...

2 x xbox (original) at $100 = $200
games for xbox, approx. $200
PS2 = $120
games for PS2, approx. $400
xbox360 = $250
games for xbox360, approx. $110
2 x gameboy advance, approx. $150
gameboy advance games, approx. $100
2 x gameboy adv. sp, approx. $120
gameboy adv. sp games, approx. $120
gameboy ds = $100
gameboy ds games, approx. $80
other costs (computer games, accessories, etc) = $300

Total = $2250

Wow... it's not quite as bad as I'd thought it would be, but still... more than is reasonable, probably. heh

P.S. Actual cost might be like $1000 more, because I may have forgotten a few things. Like my N64 and Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo and Dreamcast days. Quite frankly, I can't remember how much I spent on those things... but I'm sure it was a lot.
