So, how much $ did you spend on games this year?

This year has been a great year for games, and, unfortunately it has not been good to my wallet.

Hmm... I estimate from a rough calculation in my head  to have spent about $700 on games. ROUGHLY. This is of course imagining every game to be about $70 after taxes which wasn't always the case.

Trying to think: probably roughly $150-$160. This is only counting games, and I don't think I bought more than 3 games this year. Can't really think if I have any extra money buying anything else, because I know I haven't grabbed any 360 accessories or extra time for Xbox Live.

Fable II
Gears of War 2
Mass Effect

Saved alot using GameFly.

Way, way, way more than I should have. *Sigh* I just can't help myself.

At least 645 dollars, not counting tax, and not exactly accurate.

Just looking at the past few months, I can't remember how much I payed for games before that:

Mercs 2 - £25
Too Human - £20
FIFA 09 - £40
Fable II - £45
Far Cry 2 - £40
Midnight club LA - £40
Endwar - £40
Gears 2 - £30
Banjo N&B - £40
CoD WaW - £40
Mirrors Edge - £40
Left 4 Dead - £40
Rock Band 2 £40

If I've done my maths right (which I probably haven't, I suck at mental arithmetic) that comes to £480.

Grand Theft Auto IV - $60
Fallout 3 - $60
Rock Band 2 - $60 (minus all of it for tradeins= $0)

I would say that I have spent less than $140 this year. The vast majority of games that I played were through a rental service.

Around £300. It doesn't really bother me though, for the most part, money well spent.

Probably around 800-900 bucks, give or take.

"Way, way, way more than I should have. *Sigh* I just can't help myself."

More than I should have spent most likely...which is pretty much every year.

I spent more than I usually do in the course of a year.  Then again, I only bought Dead Space, Fallout 3, and Left 4 Dead...and I'll probably end up buying Prince of Persia.  Most of my money was too busy being tied up in bills, gas, and condoms.

Yeah, probably around a thousand bucks or more.

$245

Should be "have" rather than "had" as it is far from over for me and December is traditionally my biggest spend.

only £120.

I spent 15 bucks on batteries for my controllers, and 0 dollars on games. I just borrow em' from my uncle who gets about every noteworthy release for the 360. I may have to wait 2 weeks to play the new stuff, but It beats paying 60 bucks a piece.

I have probably spent somewhere between $200-300 on games, but I bought a 360 this year, so closer to $600

You need to work those bargain angles a hell of a lot better :("

"Should be "have" rather than "had" as it is far from over for me and December is traditionally my biggest spend.

As it is though, being Aspergers and feeling the compulsion to keep lists, I know exactly what happened to my wallet this year.

I won't name the games, but rather just the consoles and I will round the dollars.

Wii - 21 games - $1300

DS - 25 games - $1000

PS2 - 13 games - $500

PSP - 5 games - $200

PC - 12 games - $400

Total - 76 games @ $3400 (US$2200 - Cad$2800 - GBP1500)

Plus I bought a second Wii from Canada for importing at another $400.

With other bits , plus 2 magazines a month, it exceed $4000 and I expect that there is still a few hundred dollars left to be spent (and I got a new Macbook, upgrading the RAM on the iMac and Macbook, plus an external hard drive - sheesh, it never ends).

I would be rich if it wasn't for games.  I would be less happy though.  Beats porn and hookers :)

Much less than last year, which was somewhere in the $1000-1500 range.

• 10 VC games -$95.
• 5 WiiWare games - $55.
• 3 Gamecube games - $15.
• 3 Wii games - $130.
• Spore - $50.

Hm...

I can't even think....

I wanna say too much, but It's probably around $800 or so.

About $200, I think.  I saved alot of money as most of the games I purchased were $20 or less thanks to half.com and used games from Gamestop.

• Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy (PS2) - $40
• Grand Theft Auto IV - $60
• Blitz: The League (Xbox), Space Giraffe, Braid, Bionic Commando Rearmed, 5 Rock Band DLC Songs - $46
• Half-Life 2 - $0
• Rock Band 2 - $60
• Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA) - $40
• Half-Life - $0.98
• Prince of Persia Sands of Time, Megaman Anniversary Collection, Sly Cooper 1, Blast Corps, 1080 Snowboarding - $50

I have a two game plan with gamefly so that's $22 a month.  I've bought GTA IV, Rock Band 2, Gears of War 2, and I'm planning on getting Fable 2.  All that plus next months bill from gamefly and I will have spent $504 by the end of they year.  Without gamefly that could've easily been around $800.

WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to much.

Probably $200-250 if i'm doing the conversion right :P

I think it is wise for you to look at all your games and add them up.

HAHA...I have to laugh at you db90 for paying $60 for Alone in the Dark. I just bought my copy for $6 and I don't know if that makes it worth it. A bit sad at the NFS purchase as well.

About $500, and $150 on MMO subscriptions (WAR, WoW and LOTRO).
I buy a new game every 2 months on average, and an old one every month.

And about 4 Grand on Pizza.

Wow now that i think about it, thats quite alot of money =/

$449 I think... NOT counting VC and WiiWare titles.

Also missing a few ebay purchases...
