Yeah, I'm obsessed with videogames and after I just added up my total spendage for Steam games,which comes to £736.08(US $1,181.43) I began wondering how much each of you guys had spent in total over the years?

$1645

Although I dunno how much it actually is, I used this http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/widdman

I very much doubt you mean what you paid, but rather origonal new value.

On Steam? I've got a Mac, and I usually only buy when there is a sale. So I'm sure I've spent less than 100 dollars.

I've spent about £300 this year, so far.
 
EDIT: Oh, you mean on Steam? £0.  I've spent £300 on console games.

Found 363 Games with a value of $5152.88

Steam is my third platform... So current generation... $15,000?

That Steam value thing doesn't take sales into account, apparently I've spent $2000 on Steam.
 
I haven't spent anywhere near that.

I've spent about £300 this year, so far. EDIT: Oh, you mean on Steam? £0.  I've spent £300 on console games.

i can see $2500 worth of 360 games sitting on my shelf right now, that doesn't include PS3 games, PC games, or downloadable titles

and if i was to count PC hardware and console hardware i would guess its been well over $20,000 dollars over the last 15 years

On the flip side it also gives current retail valuations, which are often lower than what was paid.

For instance, I paid full price for a ton of the games on my list ($50) which are currently $10 to $20. So even though mine says $5000, it could very well be triple that. It probably all evens out.

Less than £100 on steam by far-i only buy games when theyre on sale, try to never spend more than I make in an hour.
 
All my PC games ever? still less than £200 Id reckon.

I've probably spent around $300 on Steam the last couple of years, I'm guessing. Option B is probably the closest to my habits.

So that's, like, 4 games?

Nope, if you go to your steam settings and go to your account tab there's a text button labeled account history which is underlined as a thing you can click. I added it all up with a calculator.

And I've just noticed that I've only mentioned money spent on myself. Below this table is a table listing your money spent on gifts for others, here mine is: £ 60.69 (US $97.75).

Bringing my total Steam spendage to: £796.77 (US $1,278.77), well fuck.

BAM! http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/blackbird415 looks like your not the biggest spender around these parts :P

According to the Steam calculator, $1372.09.

According to my actual transactions, $742.94.

And I've only used Steam for about two years.

lol... BAM http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/ha

Neither are you.

Just below $2.500, but that's probably closer to €2.000. Either way, yes, I haven't played most of them.

Hooray for Steam sales.

[EDIT] I totally botched the logic above. The games generally cost the same amount of euros, which means the actual total cost would probably be closer to $3.000. I was thinking about that all wrong. Damn alcohol.

My Steam collection is worth 1050 dollars, apparently, but I rarely spend anything over £10 on a game, so it isn't particularly accurate. 
 
If we're talking about how much we've spend overall I wouldn't like to think about it. More or less every console since the megadrive, a decent games collection for each and a bank-breaking PC. 
 
Games are pretty good.

@Rolyatkcinmai: haha, but I already knew that because there was a posting just like this 6 months ago if im not mistaken

Yes they are aren't they.

$1,655. And Good god, that title is long :P

If you are talking just Steam, maybe about 1.5k (3900 on Steam calc)

If you are talking over all the years in life... concidering I bought my Atari 2600 at Sears on release day... I am well into the tens of thousands.

A.
 
But I'm not poor nor have a lower end pc.
I just prefer consoles most of the time.

The value of my games is $300, but I've only spent about $90 since a lot of them were gifts/sales.

Even if we took the near 100 arcade game PCBs and MVS carts I've owned I would look like a small time gamer next to many of these Steam-addicts.

And I had a Pac-Man PCB.

$204.89, and I play on my PC all the time, I just don't waste money so much.

Well, good point. I just added up a bit over 615.00 us dollars. Amittedly it's over the years, but a decent bit of data to look at.

I think my total over two years is about 500$.

Steamcalc says   
 

Found 70 Games with a value of $922.31 

I've spent over 800, been a member since 2005?

Have spent, or have in value?  I tend to pick up $20 games on sale for $5 (I generally dislike not having the physical disk, but am willing to accept the temporary purchase at a dramatically reduced cost).
Also, be aware that some of us are older than you.  The difference between "lifetime spent" is big when comparing a 16 year old to a 27 year old.

I have only bought the Orange Box and Gary's Mod, so my total spending should be at 30 bucks or so.

$608.51 thanks to SteamCalculator.

But I buy everything from sales, so probably more like $200 thanks to the (sale-reduced) VCP, L4D2 being a retail purchase for $15, Portal 2 coming with my PS3 copy and the rest coming from sales.

It looks like I'm at $2701.20, which--seeing as I've been using Steam since 2004--doesn't seem outrageous to me. I rarely buy Steam games that aren't on-sale anymore, so I wouldn't be surprised if the actual expenditures were well below $2000.

Still, that's more money in my Steam account than in my savings account. Fun times.

$1645

Although I dunno how much it actually is, I used this http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/widdman

From my favourite store in Sweden, I've spent about 30 000 SEK. (About $4.700)

Im in my 30's. I dont think its odd that I have spent over $2500 in games.  
 
EDIT: Just steam, then not much at all. About 12 games. Mostly on sale.

@blackbird415: @Rolyatkcinmai: oow this is handy.

http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/Sin4profit

I have a Mac, but that Steam calculator site says $309. I doubt that, since most of the games I have I've purchased during sales.

$277, but considering gifts, sales, promos and review copies, it's actually much less. Thin wallet, after all.

I bought Half Life 2 once. 
 
Yeah.

I don't like thinking about how much I've spent on games

$577.59, which is definitely nowhere close to how much I paid for the games I have.

According to the Steam Calculator thing my account is worth $2790.26 US. If you mean all games for my entire life time, I'm sure it's well over $10,000.

According to my steam account history I've spent a total of 621.80 on steam purchases (not including gifts).

On this current sale I've spent 67.05 (12 games)

Man, feels like that scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory when the teacher asks charlie how many chocolates he's gotten trying to win a golden ticket (for a math example he's teaching- I forget what) and Charlie says "2". The teacher thinks he means 200 and Charlie corrects him "No, just 2."

"2?" The Teacher proclaims. "Well, I can't figure out 2...!"
