My game collection said $4000. I bought PS1 = $100, Dreamcast = $100, PS2 = $250, Xbox = $300, two gameboys = $100, and five PCs = $4000.

So that comes to a grand total of....$8,850. o.o That's a lot.

My family likes to game, except for my mom.

On this generation of games and consoles...

PC- + games $1200 (I had to replace a motherboard,cpu,ram and video card with a reasonable temporary replacement until further funds are available.

X360- Games+Console - $2000

PS3- Console+game - $1000

These dates go from 2006-2008 almost, $4200 total roughly. Sometime next year I'll gather $3000 for brand new PC components... its been years since I fully upgraded.

Its too much math for me, but I do know that with all the money I've spent on games if I could have it back I would be a very rich man... I'd probably blow it on gaming again.

Hard to say. Gamespot says 4.3k, but I'm not too sure about that. Some of the games I have bought are used etc.

Impossible to calculate, especially when you include gaming PCs and upgrades for them.

To be completely honest, though, probably less than I've... erm... obtained through means that didn't cost money...

Xbox with 2 games = $187

Xbox (number 2) = $150

62 games (I buy most of mine preowned at EB Games/GamesStop) = $766

Total this generation = $1103

I'm not sure how much I've spent on N64, though.

A lot. Let's just leave it at that. ;)

But seriously, I don't think it should matter how much or how little we spend on gaming as long as we enjoy it. I'm sure we spend just as much, if not more, on clothes, televisions, and car accessories we don't really need. It's all relative, really.

GS values my collection at 27-28k USD....I didn't spend that much. At least half of my collection was purchased used. In practice I probably spent 15-18k between all of my systems, my PC, and my game collection (including games I no longer own). This is a total of the accumulation over the last 20 years (I don't count before that because I don't keep track of Collecovision of Atari 2600 games which I also had substancial collections of).

Sorry to disagree, but gaming and books are the only two things which I purchase often. I buy clothes at cheap prices every other year, and I don't have a car yet. When I do get one, I'm only going to put enough money in it to get it up and running (which is going to happen Winter Break).
