Sadly, since all the arcades here are no more, I have a lot more money for console gaming these days. My monthly gaming budget is $760, but I only own a PS3 and 2 games. I just can't seem to find any games that interest me much these days.

I truly miss arcades. They were a great way to socialize and a lot of fun. i used to go every night and get a slice of pizza, an order of chicken strips, and an order of fries for my dinner and play pinball for hours.

That's a pretty big budget. I just spend £15 a month on an online games rental company but buy the odd special game if it's something I know i'm going to really like and get my moneys worth. I couldn't spend the amount you spend if I tried, they just wouldn't make the games fast enough.

That was the glory of the arcade. It was easy to go through $20 for a night out. Now for console games I don't get the same experience but they are cheaper.

I don't have a set budget. If I see a game I want, I buy it. If I don't have the money, I work for it then buy it.

I don't even game anymore, really. I haven't played a game since around March, and my brother gave my 360 to one of his friends to borrow. I'm thinking about picking up Ninja Gaiden II, though. I loved the first one. I basically just buy any game that looks good. That's usually a game/month.

Damn, I dont even make that much at work in a month... My hours suck :lol:

But it depends. Sometimes I go months without buying a game and then I may get 3 or 4 in the same month.

I try not to buy more than one game every three months, although I often indulge and get a game once every two months. It gets difficult pacing myself during some months when the Wii and the DS both release great games!

By the way, it's not that I can't afford them, it's that I don't think it's good to waste too much money on video games.

I get about twenty dollars a month, and if I dont blow it on junk food, I usually buy an old PS2 game like Final fantasy or Grand Theft auto.

I maybe get a new game every couple of months...I don't really get an allowance so I can't afford to get a new one as often as I would like.

I don't really limit myself. I just buy a game whenever I want one, which is usually just once a month. I spend more on Blurays now.

This month it's going to be $600. I'm hoping to buy a PS3.

But usually, it's not set.

I only buy games at full price about every other month or so, but sometimes if I'm really bored, I'll pick up a game that's $30 or less.

My monthly gaming budget is $760.

...Holy crap. Dude get a 360 then . Thats probably less than my yearly budget . I can't afford to give 60 bucks for a new game so I'm a CAG if you know what that means.

If you have a $760 gaming budget per month you should start PC gaming, you would be able to maintain a beast of a rig with that much money, you could upgrade your Graphics card every time a new one is released.

What is my monthly gaming budget? Is that with or without P2P clients factoring into it? Likely $50 if I really need to play a new game online.

Wow I'm suprised most people don't spend much. I spend around $300 on games a month; but I buy a lot of old NES, SNES, etc. games too so there's always something I want to buy. Thats the problem.
