I tend to spend quite a bit each month on games, so I just want to check out what the norm is for people each month.

These days?  Somewhere between a pittance and a sheckle.

I've only bought 6 games all year and all but one of them I got on the Steam Summer Sale.  I was already backlogged with two games from last year's sale I've yet to finish.

I did spend $19 + $2.50 on free-to-play games (Planetside 2 and Warframe respectively.)  Gotham City Impostors hasn't come up with a bundle that I can justify buying yet but to compensate I recommend it alllll the time.  Go play Gotham City Impostors!  Yay!!

Just when something i want comes in special. I never do silly stuff like paying 50-60 for a game i wait for it to be all patched up and on sale for cheap. I'm in no rush have tons of games to play.

Per month is hard to say depends whats in special, i can spend months not buying any.

60 euro or so thanks to steam sales. If you count my collecting and retro, around 1000 euro so far this year.

How much I spend on games varies wildly, so I can't say how much I spend per month. Sometimes I buy games for full price at launch, other times I wait for price drops and sales, and sometimes I get them for free with my hardware. I paid full price for about half of the games that I have installed. Then right after the games were released, I got Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Bioshock Infinite, and Tomb Raider for free with my 7870 Tahiti LE, which was on sale for $200. And then I got Far Cry 3 for free with my 750w OCZ Fatal1ty, which was on sale for $60. I got a few games during the Steam sale, I got the humble bundle recently, though I did pay well more than average for it, and now I'm about to pull the trigger on Star Citizen, since I don't want to wait another 2 years to play the game. I shouldn't have to buy another game for another year or so, but I just can't help myself :P EDIT: Aaaand, I just bought Dark Souls. I'm never gonna finish all of my games...

Very little.  2-4 big releases per year on average, and a few scattered 5-10 dollar steam deals here and there

I hardly ever buy more than one full priced game a month,. I also tend to check out Steam and other discounted games. If I buy a non-physical copy I buy discounted. So I guess most of the time I spend less than 100 dollars in a month, but sometimes I go 3-4 months without a new full priced game and just putting my backlog up to date or playing Team Fortress 2. I also don't spend money on thing like keys and hats on TF2. I guess I'd say I spend about 500 dollars a year, sometimes more.

Counting all new releases, consoles, computers, sales, etc since 2006 when I bought an Xbox 360.  Probably $20,000+

Yeah I spend any where between $100-$200 a month. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a fair collection of games. But that price does include a supscription or two. Lol

I usually get 1-3 new full price games a month... But if its a sale on that number can double or even triple. I guess the answer is I don't really know how to average it or give you a answer. It's determined by the games that are out that month and if there are sales on during the month. So I guess its between £60-90 on a slow month to £90-140 on a busy month.

Years ago I would have spent probably $50-60 every couple of months on a new game.  These days though my interest in gaming is declining so I just tend to wait until they are on sale.

2012 = $609.15, 62 games

2013 = $591.57, 41 games

Projected remaining expenditures on games for 2013 is $792.42 ($399.99 for PS4).

Remaining games -

Beyond Two Souls
Rain
Final Fantasy X (HD) - Vita
Batman Arkham Origins
Battlefield 4
Killzone: Shadow Fall
Resogun (Free with PS+, as far as I understand)
Watch Dogs

I'll also likely pick up a handful of more games come Steam's Winter Sale and indie titles for either PS4/PC

I average around $30 a month. Been mainly buying Indie bundles or games on sale only. Nothing has me really hyped enough to pay full price for.
