[THE BIG WEEKLY QUESTION] How much is that doggy in the window

[Fez]

Heya

With 2 weeks to go till the 'big October game rush', ever gamer's wallets are hiding behind couches and commiting suicide, so really, how much do we on average spend on games a year?

Well on average I sort of earn ( odd jobs, pocket money, selling stuff and writings) a grand a year-ish, so I added up all the stuff I've bought this year and found that, I myself, have spent over £450.

Pfft, that's almost half of what I earn! But I can guess you guys with jobs and bobs earn a lot more than me, so how much do you spend on games a year?

[Lost_Addict]

id probably spend about £200 - £300 on games a year and next on my agenda fable2!

[Jord]

Probably about £300 or more..

[newWORLDorder]

Done a rough estimate and for me its around £150. More or less each year.

[Misawa]

About £200? That's only four games though. I tend to buy games that I know have the replayability factor.

[Stephen!]

i download my games

[Stitch]

This year about £400-£500. But I did buy Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3 this year.

[Neil]

This year I haven't really bought many new games, probably about £200-300 spent on games

Last year I bought just about every big game released

Probably spent something like £500-700 on games xD

[brandon]

About £100.00 if we're disregarding things that are bought for me as gifts.

[Jord]

Well This year I think ive spent more than £500 New games Will bring it up more.

[Funya Chin]

[Stephen!]

Aren't you a bad man.

not really... pricing on games is ridiculus.

But the fine for downloading games can be too...

[Hiro]

This year I have spent 200. But that was inluding band in a box.
On average I would only spend 80.

[Ashley 12344]

Couple of hundred.
I'd say about 10-15% of what I get.

[mangle]

350ish maybe?

[Neversoft]

Only about £100 - £200.

[united-champ]

about 600 .. wow..

[5,5]

I'd guess about $400

[Misawa]

I don't play many games.

[Niall!]

Let's see..

about 150 euros out of my 600 euro allowance

Games are fun but you don't need to many.

[Technologic]

In the past 12 months i've bought around 8 games (the rest came from B'day/xmas), at roughly £40 each so £320.

[Foals]

About £50.

[Technologic]

Oh, and 2 more controlelrs at £30 each

[Excellent2]

About £110.00

[Andeeh]

200 - 300 ;)

[Suck]

God, I don't want to know. In a year? Including consoles? £700-£1000. AND I get a 25% discount, so it's about 25% more than that retail value..

[Wayne]

Maybe about £200-£250.
