Maybe I dont have a life. Me and my friend added up how much games were gonna cost us this year and it comes about to $1120. Ugh I need to find a new hobby.....lol....nah. How much do you think you're gonna spend on games this year.

that is definately the truth. i think most of my money in the past year has gone towards savings and video games.
I don't even think of it in terms of money anymore.I tend to think of how much of my time and I willing to part with. I don't have time for sub-par titles anymore.
It going to be another big year, I will probably drop around 300$ - 400$ probably, we'll see though how it plays out, i mean i have so much to play right now i'm in Gamer paradise
If I get every title that I want this year then it's going to cost me 1200 euros. But I hope it will eb like this: Lost Odyssey (70 hours) - GTA4 (60 hours) - Sacred 2/Fable2/Fallout3 (300+ hours)- happy 2009! That's only 300 euros!

I totally agree with that statement! It's not about the money anymore, but the quality of games that I'm playing and fitting them into a hectic schedule. I say this as I'm burning time writing in the forums instead of actually playing games. How foolish of me!!
That said, having a selection from all 3 systems, I'll probably clear 1,000 easily.
well, i foresee me spending roughly around $500-700 bucks easy. I have both systems and I sometime buy two of the same game for each system(mostly sports titles, eg., madden, 2k bball). thats only my friends have one system or another and we compete online alot. other than that, its just too many killer titles i must have and the time to play them as well. like some1 mentioned earlier, i don't have time for subpar titles anymore so every game i buy has to be worth $60 every time out or its a no go bcuz i lack the time to play bcuz of grown folk responsibilities.
You may spend $1,200 a year in games, but that is FAR less than you would spend in a year boozing with the people with supposed "lives". A couple of my buddies blow through $1,000 a month in alcohol. Between my $100 a month in games and weed, I'm far better off than them. I got my drinking out of the way in college...
I usally fly threw a game fast enough that when I want to re-sell I get $25-30 back. Its like buy 2 get one free. If it is an awsome game I just wait the 6 months to re buy it when used it is in the $25 range.
Since i got the 360, I've been buying about 10 games per year. So you figure that price out. I'm scared to buy a PS3 and Wii. I'll have to buy even more games O_O.
Wow...when you put it into perspective, I suppose we do invest a lot of money into gaming. But on the other side of the coin, so do others that have hobbies, or in some cases....bad habits;) I will probably spend my fair share on games this year.
Meh,you only live once.You should be ashamed of purchasing loads of games...AtomicBaconBits
You are sooo right. Im going to go out with my friends tonight, get a life, drink til i have alcohol poisoning, make love to a stranger (unprotected) and then drive home. After all you only live once.
uh about 60 bucks i just rent then return when im done no matter how long its been, and your right if you spend 1120 on games you are lame no real reason to buy games if you can keep them as long as you want
Maybe I dont have a life. Me and my friend added up how much games were gonna cost us this year and it comes about to $1120. Ugh I need to find a new hobby.....lol....nah. How much do you think you're gonna spend on games this year.blackmagic037
People spend more than that on cigarettes, beer, gas, and all other kinds of vices. At least this hobby doesn't have very many negative effects (such as cancer or cirrhosis of the liver). Maybe instead of looking for another hobby, you should look for a better job, life is expensive.
I just bought a house, so I'm a little strapped. I can still fit in some games though. I'll probably spend around $400 this year between my 360 and PS3.

I agree. I'm part time at blockbuster right now. You may ask "Why do you buy games when you can rent them for free!" well it actually implies ownership. Just knowing that I have to return it sometime doesnt have that same feeling as when I actually own a game. Call me weird but meh.
