After the PSN network was down it got me thinking...

How much money do you think you have spent on gaming this year ? Including accessories and the psn subscription? Mine is about £36 ( controller ) £40 ( psn ) £170 (games) £15 ( on extras / dlc ) total £261..

Just wondering if this was about average ?

I

It's way too much, to the point where if I actually calculated how much I spent on gaming I'd be sad.

So far? Maybe around 150-ish...not alot to look forward to yet.

That's about how much I spend a year on(games and accessories), I usually only buy 1 or 2 games a year at full price! Any other tittles I want I wait until black Friday or year end sales. I love gaming, but it doesn't consume a large portion of my budget.

Ive spent probably over $1000. That includes buying a PS4 though.

PS4 $399

second Dual shock 4 $59

COD Ghost $59

Infamous SS $59

Injustice $20

Shadow of Mordore $59

COD AWF $59

Destiny Collector's edition $99

Dragon Age I Deluxe Edition $69.99

digital movies and PS+ subscriptions, puts me at about $1000 or more.

@crewe8: I buy a lot of games, but in the end, comparing it to other dumb things I pay for, it's so cheap. $1000+ for a single cell phone, many thousands on eating at restaurants, $3k+ on gasoline, $3k+ on electricity for my house..

PS4 - $400

36 Months Warranty for the PS4 - $50

PS Plus 1-year - $50

Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition - $50

GTA V - $60

Dragon Age: I - $40 (Amazon)

Shadows of Mordor + Sleeping Dogs + Watch Dogs + Infamous: Second Son - $85 (Black Friday)

Total: $735 (without taxes)

It's not that bad considering the fact that renting an apartment per month costs more than that and that is not including living expenses for everything else.
