How much have you spent on computer games this year?

Nitefly · 1 Sep 2009 at 12:44

Purely for my own curiousity - this year as in from 01/01/2009.

I have spent £7 on the remake of monkey island. Yourselves?

This includes all hardware as well as software across all formats.

I trade a lot of my stuff. Are we taking that into account?

Too much, but less than last year so that's a good thing; probably £500-600 including my SF4 Joystick.

Streeteh · 1 Sep 2009 at 14:07

Way too much, hundreds of pounds on games, £70 on a 360 (after trading in a few old games) and £100 on an arcade stick.

Sometimes I wish i still allowed myself to pirate games

All money paid over the counter / websites.

Bought SFIV and built my arcade sticks and that's about it this year. Sold my DS and a load of DS/GameCube games so actually gained more than I spent for gaming this year

Fifa 09 - £15
MGS4 - £14
LBP - £12
The Lost & Damned - £16
Rock Band drums - £20
Guitar Hero III + guitar - £35
Resident Evil 5 - £35
Killzone 2 - £32.99

Total - £179.99

Including money saved for Forza 3 + Fifa 10 takes it to £274.97

Quickly working it out in my head, I'd say over £1500 which is a ridiculous amount of money

Trying to justify it by saying some of those were presents for the girls, but it's not working.

(just seen the hardware thing, ok, bump that up to £2k.

x 1000 )

mortals · 1 Sep 2009 at 14:15

on games probably £500-600 :eek:

probably spend more as it gets closer to xmas

mcwildcard · 1 Sep 2009 at 14:15

Hard to say, probably in the region of about £60ish.
£35 for SFIV, the rest on games and DLC from the PS Store.

I did have an insurmountable amount of games from the pre-christmas sales to get through, otherwise it would've definitely been much more than that.

I was expecting to see some big figures but that is ridiculous!

ro55o · 1 Sep 2009 at 14:27

Including hardware, I'd say it's around the £800-900 area :eek:

Bought a PS3 with a fair few games + play tv, controllers etc. Also just recently bought a PSP. Plus I seem to buy any weekend deal that steam have, no matter the game, can't pass up a bargain

Thesnipergecko · 1 Sep 2009 at 14:32

Probably in the region of £2000 with hardware and games

pingwing · 1 Sep 2009 at 14:33

How did you manage that!

If I bought a 360, PS3, rockband, arcade sticks and all the games I want that are out for those consoles I wouldn't spend £2K!

Unfortunately it's quite easy I'm afraid to say.

There's about £800 of that on games, about £500 on consoles, 5 Xbox Gold Subscriptions and over 12 2100 Points cards (2100 points doesn't go THAT far, so they get purchased a fair bit), not to mention two lots of GT:WT (house in Swansea, house in Hounslow), etc, etc.

Whappers · 1 Sep 2009 at 14:38

I would say I rank right up there!

I don't even want to think about how much I have spent as it will seriously scare me!

BEN_UK · 1 Sep 2009 at 14:40

This year.

£19.99 for COD 4 for PC.
