How much time/money do you spend on gaming?

I spend far more time than money. I never buy anything at full price, for a start. I can't remember the last time I paid more than £25 for a game.

I have so little time. I tend to cane a game then play nothing for weeks. I'm inching through Gear 2 at the moment. Don't spend much, either. Get sent most of it.

I dont spend much more than an hour and a half a day during the week.
a bit more at weekends.Posted 4 years ago # -
A lot of time but not so much that it interrupts my social life and not too much money either.

I get around the whole 'interfering with your social life' thing by not actually having a social life.

I just never leave the house. It;'s a strategy that solves many, many problems.

On average about an hour a day. :((
And I'll nto buy many gams, but the ones I do buy are always the collector editions etc

Very little money (UK imports \o/), but sometimes far too much time.

Too much money, in fact, about 65% of all my money goes on games or gaming related piffles.

I think I've spent around £2,200 to £2,500 on my 360 alone.
I buy games, accesories pretty much every month, and they've all managed to mount up to form this quite ridiculous figure!

Oh yeah, I spend on average over the year, about an hour and a half gaming per day.

'I get around the whole 'interfering with your social life' thing by not actually having a social life. '
That's one way of doing it, I guess.

I really don't want to add it up. :(

More time and money than I really should... let's put it that way. But still not as much as I'd like or as much as I used to :(
Such is the curse of fatherhood.

I put in way more than ever. Uni is slow right now, no job, living at home so all mates are in Uni town. Not much else to do really.

Between 1-2 hours a day, no more than 5 days a week. And I don't spend a huge amount either, thanks to the likes of Playtrade. My actual financial input is maybe a tenner a month.

Godddd, i rather not think about it. i play normally 2 hours a day, or more because i share playtime with my girlfriend haha. for example i play a game of NHL09, then then she plays the next game. and we just go like that.
having transformed my girlfriend into a gamer is fun :)
money wise...i dunno...i buy a bunch of games new/used, and never re-sell any of them, so i rather not think too much about the value of the 70 some games i have for the 360...60 for the ds...130 N64 Carts(hahahah its true), and something like 50-60 NES carts.....
ahhhhh thats wayyy too much money spent on games :( haha. i dunno, i guess i like collecting games hehe

Just looking at your 360 games... If you estimate that the average cost of a 360 game is £25, considering a whole range of prices from BOGOF all the way up to £45...
70 games is around £1,750!

Actually, strange as it may seem, I'd feel perfectly safe making the assumption that on average, 360 owners spend way more time and money on their console than PS3 owners...
Even stranger when you consider that many 360 owners probably only bought one because of the cheaper price!
...it's just a theory...
...don't explode.

Average about two hours a week, I reckon, if you don't count playing whatever I'm working on. Which I don't.

Far too much money and not really enough time. I complete so few games these days because I just can't be bothered to play them. I'd rather stick FIFA in and play a couple of matches than get myself embroiled in some endless JRPG dungeon.
And yet I still can't help myself when it comes to buying the latest shiny title that everyone's talking about. I have Persona 4 pre-ordered despite the fact that I gave up on Persona 3 after about 5 hours, even though I was enjoying it.
The ease of buying things from PSN and XBLA doesn't make the situation any better either. :(

@GIGA
the numbers actually show that 360 owners buy way more games. your right.
@Aretak

Not if you don't have a credit card. Sony is a bit slow with that.

silly amounts, i have every console of the last three generations* and a PC that would rough up alienwares, voodoos and xps's for their lunch money
i'm an addict, i own games i haven't played and probably will never play as i'm busy with rl and light guns don't work on LCD tvs :(
/daisy owns the wii and i sold my PSP as it was breaking my thumb
