Your Annual (2008) Expenditure on Games

Mine is 969,65 US$ (Covers only game purchases, hardware exp. is excluded).Your Annual (2008) Expenditure on Games
This year was an expensive one, contrary to what I generally spent in years prior. About a year ago my Gamespot collection was hovering around 100 titles... it is now at 176. Not including all the consoles I bought and averaging a cost of about $20 a game, that is $1500 in one year. And that is an incredibly conservative estimate. If I were to guess more accurately, the average cost for the games I've bought this year is probably closer to $30-35, which would put it up around $2600... which is somewhat disheartening considering that I've bought several consoles this year as well (Dreamcast, Saturn, 360, SNES, NES and Genesis).

What is unfortunate is that I still need to get a new computer for myself. I've been meaning to do it ever since Crysis came out.

Talking about how much money you spend on stuff makes you look like a prat IMHO. I'll just say I've spent a hell of a lot on games this year, it has been a lot of fun!
Id say around $500ish maybe more or less.

True, does sound a bit like that. Cant say i spent much. Only got a few select games i knew i would enjoy. I never splurge.

probably no less than 500 for the year.
i bought about 30 2008 games, i think, including xbox 360 games, most of them priced reasonably. so $1000? not sure.
For PC games? Not much.I only bought Sins of a Solar Empire and Left 4 Dead. So around $90 total. The only other game I would have bought was Mass Effect, but EA decided to infest it with DRM. I still played it, I just didn't buy it if you know what I mean...I didn't buy much for the consoles either, mostly just rented. I bought GTA4 and Gears 2, both of which were rather meh IMHO, and I ended up selling them. I thought this was a rather weak year for gaming in general.
I don't even want to count.

I probably spend about $1000 a year.. I don't buy a whole lot of games, and I do ask for games as gifts on Birthday and Christmas.
In USD about $900
Dunno. I lived in Thailand until June of this year and the average game price there is about $12 US. Moved back to Canada in June, but I've only bought 6-7 games at $35-50 since then.
$200-$300 range I think.
Only $120. I've only bought BIA:HH and COD5 this year. Nothing else was really worth my money IMO
$250. Relatively cheap year for me. Call of Duty 4 (360) - $60 (My 360 ended up getting stolen.

Call of Duty 4 (PC) - $50

Call of Duty: World At War (PC) - $50

Fallout 3 (PC) - $50

Sim City 4 (PC) - $20

Battlefield 2142 (PC) - $20
A LOT! pc, ps3, 360 and tonnes of games. All in all i shudder at the total estimate of over 1700 pounds ($3400)
