i wouldn't know how many, but after i've played online i'm glad to see that i've met a bunch of older players. i like the mature players way more than i like the imature once that just yell stupid things all the time while sitting in the corner of a map, hiding. BUT! some older gamers also can be pricks. so it's a double-egded sword (or however you spell that)

I'm a 30+ gamer and the reasons you mentioned are why I've always resisted buying a headset/mic. When on line and where possible I always disable the chat option. There are more 30+ years players out there than you think. I'd say there's even a few 40+

no doubt...i dont even chat when i play my 360 online, i just set everything on mute....unless im playing with my buddies, then its a private chat.....with regards to PS3, im just not going to get a mic.

I'm in my 30s. PSN ID is CellAnimation. Current list of games I've got is here (GS profile). So add me if you're interested playing online sometime. As for the age of gamers my father is nearly 60 and he still plays his PlayStation 1 games all the time.

Actually according to The ESA the average age of a gamer is 33, with the average age of most frequent game buyers being 38, and in 2007 24% of Americans over the age of 50 played video games.

Wow, if that is accurate I find that suprising. Like I mentioned earlier, I am 29, and my girlfriend continually tells me I am too old to be playing games :roll:

I will be 31 in another month. I love playing games and I like the social aspect of playing online. Like finding out where people are from add me anybody that is mature and has the games I have. UT3, COD 4, Warhawk, Orange Box and a slew of other games.

I'm 38 and getting ready to take the ps3 plunge!! I've been playing my neighbors COD4 on his 360 and HAVE to get it. However, I'm a Sony guy...so I'm going ps3. Been into video games my whole life. I still have the following (all in good working condition): Atari 2600 (I got it in 1979), Sega Genesis, Sony ps1, Sony ps2, GameCube (for the kids). I'm not hardcore gamer...mostly just a good shooter & sports games (ncaa football mainly....still have the ORIGINAL madden football for Sega). I like the idea of the ps3's versatility (what i'm selling my wife on, lol) and love the badass shooters for it. Do you ever really outgrow "having fun/entertainment"?! I don't think so. Game on brothers!! When I'm up and running w/ps3 COD4....I'll look some of you up !!

I am one of those 30 and up. It is good to see a wide range of ages contributing to the gaming world. Most of the time we ancient gamers can bring some useful knowledge to the younger members of the gaming world. We have been there and done that. Lets hope that we can contribute to better gaming.

I'm 36 so I am just starting on that slippery slope to the Big 40. I regularly play with a couple of guys in their 40's and my dad plays a lot but he has a 360 so we won't talk about that

I'm 35. I think that a lot of younger gamers don't realize that video games have been around for a long time. I still remember playing Pong, and sometime after that my parents bought an Atari 2600. As long as video game developers come out with games that interest me, I'll still be playing.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm 37, most of my buddies that play are 4 year older than me. We should create a senior gamers association.

32 year-old checking in. I work with a guy who has to be in his 50s. He was giddy talking about COD 4. And I think it's sadder when gamers are young. Nothing more dissapointing to see a 16-year-old kid playing Friday and Saturday nights. Who should get a life?

I'll be 31 in March. I think there are more "older" gamers than we think, we are just not as vocal as the youngsters.

If you are 30ish or older add me as a friend. Looking for some older folk to game with.
