1st Quarter. How much $$$ have you spent on gaming? (POLL)

PLEASE TOTAL UP YOUR PURCHASES. We will crown the winner (most money spent) as the Official 1st Quarter Game Glutton.

EDIT: Poll added.

*CAUTION* This can be a very, very frightening thread!

How much money have you spent this year on video games, consoles, PC hardware, accessories, etc.?

The 1st quarter isn't over yet, but based on upcoming releases, you can probably estimate just how much money you will have personally sunk into gaming this year, by the end of the 1st quarter. Keep in mind that the 1st quarter is typically fairly dry because all the big dogs came out for Christmas.

I am totaling mine up with American prices, even though I bought these products in Canada. I also got a couple games on the extremely cheap (not used), but I am tallying them up at their actual MSRP to make it more accurate for everyone else.

XBox 360 Pro 60GB - $260
Wireless-G Adapter - $80
XBox Live 12+1 card - $60
Play-and-Charge Kit - $20
Mass Effect 1 PHE - $20
Mass Effect 2 CE - $80
Gears of War 2 - $30
Dante's Inferno - $60
Heavy Rain - $60

TOTAL THUS FAR: $670

Coming up before the end of March I have Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on 2 plats, Final Fantasy 13 on PS3, God of War 3, Skate 3, 2010 FIFA World Cup, and possibly something else that escapes me right now.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - $60
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - $60
Final Fantasy XIII - $60
God of War 3 - $60
Skate 3 - $60

TOTAL IN MARCH: $300

1ST QUARTER EXPECTED
GRAND TOTAL:

$970!

The worst part is that I buy all these games knowing I won't finish all of them. I am an addict. I need help. Help me.

Okay, definitely don't help me. I'm all good.

$0.....haven't bought/rented any games so far

$22.39 on Skate 2. More money than I had to spend.

A rough estimate of 1st Quarter only?

This is by no means serious business, just for a laugh. If you round up or down a fair bit, no biggie.

dunno... i was never born with a collecting mentality, to me a collection is only as valuable as how much i get out of it, so for me an entire collection for one console could consist of maybe... 5-6 games, and i'd be happy

not to mention i'm still trying to finish games i bought in 2008 :o

Still, at the end of the day you have a great collection most gamers would be proud to have ;)

Even if there is no way you can finish all the games.

Now that we are on the topic, should I buy one $100 game or a handful of cheaper games?

I will get them one way or another.

:shock:

I can haz sum moniez? :P

[QUOTE="Shirokishi_"]

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"] So do I. It gets bad. I'm close to a grand already and the year has barely begun. I know for a certainty I will end this gen with 20+ games I own but have not finished. Unless I end up laid up with an injury for 6 months or something, there is no way I can finish everything. :PYandere

If the $100 game is a lower price than usual then get it first, if not a bunch of cheaper games.

Mass Effect 2 - £40
GTA IV Ballad of Gay Tony - roughly £15

So £55 so far.

Thinking about getting Sonic and SEGA Racing.

The $100 dollar game is a extremely rare game, the rest are fairly rare, but not as hard to get.

Become a shut-in for 20 years to play all the games you've bought.
