Since the battery for my PSP died two weeks ago I've been going for weeks without playing games on my PSP. Supposed to be getting a brand new psp battery in the mail pretty soon. last week been trying to get back into playing Final Fantasy IX with my PSOne console but it gets boring trying to do the whole 99 Frogs sidequest and trying to wrap it up with the Friendly Monsters business. so for me I can go a whole month without videogames if I wanted to but then I'd get bored reading books forever or something

Depends on my mood really.

I could go for over a month or 2 without playing any videogames at all. I actually went over a year without playing a single game during generation 5 and 6.

If I don't have a game I am into I can go months. If I have a game that I am really into I usually feel the need to play at least once a day

I can go for a bit without playing .. when there isnt a good game out .. I can go for weeks and not even budge. But when I get back .. it's like binge eating where I'm gaming 24/7 lol

Let's see. I'd say 4 months. Can't help it. There was barely any electricity where I was at (some jungle near the Equator).

I can probably go as long as a month before I start feeling that itch to go push a button.

I could go quite awhile. I was sick for two months, I would get up once a day to eat breakfast and go to the bathroom, then I would lay in bed until the next morning to do it all again (I'm not even joking, I do live with other people so I did have help if needed) I didn't watch T.V, play games, read books, nothing. So I can go at least two months. I think I could go quite awhile but I definately wouldn't want to and would fight it.

I actually can go the rest of my life without playing video games. I haven't really had that feeling "I can't wait to play this game" in years....I miss it.

Several weeks if I have to, although I tend to start watching LPs quite a bit after a few days. Completely avoiding video games for more than a few days is somewhat difficult for me.

I don't know, I routinely go a couple days without gaming, (usually theres a span every week or two where I go 2-3 days without picking up a controller, so its pretty regular), but I don't imagine I'd want to go much longer than a week. If I'm on vacation or something though I can easily go longer.

If i have a good game i can really get into, i have been known to ditch class and play several hours every day.. If there is nothing, i can go without for about a month, then i will start over with a game i never finished. I cant go two days without checking sites like gamespot to keep track of new game releases though!

2-3 days. I remember taking a week off from gaming just to see what it was like. It was not fun at all. So, a few days without games will start making feel like I'm missing out.

Months - I didn't play much when I was in college. Plus, I was on a business earlier this year for three weeks. I didn't miss it at all, so I can go relatively long without gaming.

I can go for a long time but only if you give me somthing to do insted of playing game like a giant stack of manga and anime would keep me away from the video games.

Probably a long time. I mostly just play them now a days anyway to pass the time pretty much. I don't feel the need to buy games too much anymore.
