How much have you spent on your console

Hi guys,

I have this silly idea. I would like people to calculate how much you have spent on each of your current gen consoles, including Gold membership, extra controllers (excluding music but including joysticks) and stuff like extra HDD and dongles, charging stands, faceplates and whatnot.
SKIP THE COST OF GAMES AND TVs.

Here is mine:
PS3 (with 3 games) - €450
(minus the games 3x€40 = €120, €450-€120 = €330)
SF4 controllers 2x - €70
Wireless headset - €25
Total = €425 (EXCLUDING GAMES)

Well, I bought my Wii new, and have something like 15 games for it. Most second hand some new. Maybe £400 or something once you include the VC titles i've bought.

The 360 on the other hand, please dont make me add it up.

Console, then the cost to upgrade that console to an elite. Plus the 80 quid I just spent getting it repaired due to being out of warranty and not RRoD or E74.
Then I have 117 games, something like an even split second hand to new, but I buy most of my new stuff discounted or older stock. I avg about £15 per game, plus the extras I pay for new collectors editions (which I have FarCry 2, Mass Effect, Gears 1 and 2 and the plastic gold lancer, COD4 and SFIV, GTAIV, Assasins Creed and tons more)

Then I have something like 40 XBLA games.

And ontop of that I have the SFIV TE Arcade Stick so thats another £150.

Edit: Oh yeah and something like 2 years of gold membership, 2 play and charge kits, and the PC monitor I bought to play it on (not buying an HDTV yet cant afford one, this was wayyyy cheaper)

Launch 360 = $400

Uh, just on my 360:

20G Premium 360 (2007) - 250
(minus the games = 190, probably. But I wouldn't like to say, since game value is ever-changing. Except for CoD4...)
Extra Wireless Controller - 35
Official VGA Cable - 25
Official Wireless adapter - 60
Gold subscription in total is probably about 60
Cooler unit (That I stopped using the first time I RROD'd, since it seemed like it did jack-shit) - 20

So, altogether, about £450.

PS3 MGS4 Bundle - 500
32" Sharp 720p TV - 600
HDMI Cable - 5 Bucks
20 PS3 Games - 750 or so
40 PS2 Games - Can't even guess, some were from my PS2, a lot of rarer titles were pickups
25 PS1 Games - Mosttly rebought games I sold as a kid, as well as some titles i missed out on.
O ya replacement PS3 controller for the one I ragesmashed; $50

Atleast $3,500 USD.

These are all aussie prices btw so like halve them or something to get the us dollar cost:

PC - At least 5 grand on games, maybe 15 grand or more on hardware upgrades over the course of oooh 12, 13 years. Lol and like at least 600 dollars spent on my wow subscription alone.
PS3  - $700 for the console with over $1000 worth of games
360  - $700 for console that came with 3 free games, bout $500 spent on separate games
PSP - $450 for console, bout $400 spent on games(all being 30 to 60 dollars less than a home console game)

Not including my pc purchases I'd say I've spent well over 4000 thousand dollars on just my console gaming in the past 4 - 5 years or since whenever the psp came out as its the first I bought of the three.
Man I'd be filthy rich if it weren't for games and I actually had the ability to save money haha. Tho I gotta also keep in mind a large portion of this was my parents money, both of whom have always had well paying jobs.

360 has been expensive.  I've gone through paying for two 360s (first one died, my brother bought it and I bought an elite) then my elite has died about four times now and is currently dead and I don't feel like paying anymore.  So I don't know... that's like $400 + $500 + maybe $300 for all repairs...  so that's $1200 for a console that doesn't even work.

PS3 $450 or so plus $100 for a 320gb 7200rpm hard drive.  $550 and it works just fine.

Elite - $450
Membership and Microsoft cards - $140
Extra Controller - $50
Games - About $900... I was going to say about $750 but then I remembered Rock Band
And I'm soon buying a wireless headset and a play and charge kit so that's another $100

That's actually a lot since I've only owned my 360 since Christmas. And since I live in Canada everything is priced a bit more than the US.

I couldn't calculate accurately, but as a rough guestimate, I'm looking at about £300 for my 360 + which came with about 10 games, £200 for my wii, and then over 50 more 360 games, and about 10 wii games. Most weren't at full price, but even if the average is £20 per game, that's £1,200 on games, so that's a total of £1,700. And If you want to include recent PC stuff (I won't include my laptop, since I didn't get it specifically for gaming, it's just a nice side thing) I've spent at least £300 on PC games, bringing the total to £2,000. Although this is a very conservative estimate. It could far far more.

Ok here goes
Pro 360 (2006) - $400 gave this to my brother after my last repair by MS
Arcade 360 - $200
120 GB HDD - 120$
Xbox Live Gold 2 yrs (got one free) - $100
Wired Controller - $40
Wireless Adapter - $100
HDMI Cable - $30
40" Samsung HDTV - $2000
PS3 80 GB - $400
HDMI Cable - $40

Elite 360 ~ €420
Quick Charge Kit ~ €30
Wired controller ~ €35
Guitar Hero 3 bundle ~ €85
Guitar Hero 2 Guitar only ~ €35
GTA4 preorder (incl 12 months LIVE) ~ €70
LIVE Vision Cam ~ €25

Fender Bass ~ €90
GH Mic ~ €20
Guitar Hero guitar battery ~ €15
Guitar Hero Aeromsith bundle ~ €30
Scene It (with controllers) ~ €35

= €1290

Lets say remove €60'ish if you don't want to count games, since I got a few bundles.

€1290 - €60 = €1230

I don't know the exact amount, but I guarentee it's:

TOO MUCH!

MGS 4- $49.99

I have a few more games, but I either didn't buy them or I bought them with different kinds of money.

PS3 80GB MGS4 bundle - $500

1 extra controller, extra charge cable,  and a launch PS3. so like 685 dollars.

Xbox 360 -
     Year after launch, 20GB Pro console: $399
     VGA Cable (damn no-HDMI units...): $39.92
     Wireless Controller: $19.99
     Netgear Wireless Bridge: $19.99
     "Official" Media Remote: $16.99
     1 Month Gold subscription: $1

Total: $496.89

Wii -
     Wii Console: $249.99
     Wii Component Cable: $10.00? (Somewhere in that area)

I'm not going to count the TV, since gaming was hardly the sole reason I bought it, and I game on my 22" Monitor now, anyway.

If you want to know about my handheld console purchases, I own an original DS, DS Lite, and PSP original, all bought at launch prices.

Funny how PS3 owners seem to be spending less in a lot of cases.
