I have spent roughly £6,000($12,000) on next gen gaming equipment.

PS3/360/Wii/DS/PSP/custom built PC and an LG HDTV around 80 boxed games and 40 DLC games between the systems and quite a few accesories including racing wheels/extra pads/remotes etc.

Its just a rougth estimate of my spendings since december 2005 no wonder my girlfriend goes mad although her hand bag and shoe's spending probably equal that amount.

Now that I have a job and dont have to depend on my mom to buy my games, this gen will see the most of my money so far. Lets see. 80gb PS3 =$550 (after taxes) DS3=$55, 5 games @$60 each=$300, 1 game @$40, 1 game @$30. 5 PSN dl's=$91 PSP=$220 (after taxes) 1 game @$20, 1 game @$40. PSP downloaded games total=$13

My total this gen is $1,359:shock: and i've only had my PS3 since Nov 07 and my PSP since Feb 08

this is probably more than i spent on my PS2 in its lifetime

Well there are plenty of ways to buy ...in a smart and cheaper way. Use ebay or buy them used.

PS3 40GB + 10 games = $800 ...ebay & used games are the way to go...

I have owned 2 ps3's which works out to about 2000..
800 is owed to me though..so 1200
plus probably like 500 on game maybe more
so 1700 and 500 on lcd tv so 2200..
and im not including my new receiver or speaker setup
which is a bit over another grand.. so like $3500 thus far..
meanwhile there is nothing i want/need atm besides games :D

To Sony? Not much, the online store is flaccid, and they have failed massively to deliver the goods in regards to classic game downloads and third party support for PSN games. I sometimes forget they even have an online store.

about 2800-2900$, (lunch ps3 and 14 games in Norway, the prices are about twice as high here as the prices in the states) if counting my HD tv about 5900$. Now I haven't payed all that myself. My brother has bought a few games and I've been given some games as gifts and a part of the hd tv was also a gift.

Edit: if I count my headset, an hdmi cable, my second sixaxis, my brand new DS3 and my 4 blu-ray movies it will actually be abit over 3000$ or over 6000$ if you count the tv.
