how much do you spend on your gaming addiction a month?

[t0yrobo]

If you averaged it out over a yer I probably spend less than $20 even, I don't have a huge collection though. I'm just really picky, and I only want games that I really like, plus I have no aversion to emulation. Once I have more money to spend on games that's likely to change a bit since I want to start buying arcade boards. But still it won't be that high, instead of spending $100+ in a month like previous posters. I'd be spending $1000 in one month, and almost nothing over the rest of the year.

Me, I spend approximately $200-250 a month. I've finally got my collection pretty well pimped out, so there aren't too many old titles that I'm still interested in. There's a few for each of the old platforms, but I'm basically out of shelving space (and no real room for more) so I can hold myself to saving those games until I get a new place. So the only games I pick up these days are the new releases on the current gen.

When I was building up the collection, though, it was more like $500-600 a month.,

I'm about the same for the most part.. just trying to finish up getting the last loose ends on old systems so I can focus full attention on new games..

I'd like to think about £60 quid per month, but by the time you add in new controllers, accessories, the odd console, and pay-for-download games, it may creep to the £100 mark (sometimes more...). I just recently cut up my credit card in an attempt to curb this spending, but (un)fortunately I still remember the card number...

I don't have a gaming addiction and I spend less than 10 dollars a month probably.

Uh oooooh

But he is right. I really doubt many of us are addicted to this crap. How can you get addicted to games when most of them are so shit awful or frustrating?
