How much do you invest in videogames and game related items a month?
I waste roughly $40 -$60 a month. :wink:
Also I think if I didnt INVEST my money into video games maybe just maybe I would have enough for a new car or a down payment for a home. :D

I prefer "investment in fun" to "waste"

I don't pay above 30 bucks for a game, but I like buying used cheaper games. I waste probably $30-$40 a month.

I wouldn't call it wasting, it is an investment in fun!
Probably $100/ month
EDIT: I do believe Cheapy and I are on the same wavelength!

Depends if there is a clearance sale! :P
I spend 100-200 but I sell games back on ebay and half so I get a lot of it back. :D

well i just spent 98 bucks on 4 CD's that should have been only 50$ because amazon are a bunch of gay fuckwads
i seriously dont spend any more than 50$ a month, i either get one new release or buy 3-4 games from a clearance bin or cheap online
but i buy alot of used stuff because i find it for cheap

I gotta figure I'm running anywhere from $50-$250 normally.. $150/month is probably a good average. But again, if I didn't spend it on games, I'd spend it somewhere else.

My thoughts exactly! This is probably about my average too.

It was around $150-$200 until recently, when it was decided my IRA needed some serious attention. Now, I'm on a strict $50 per month. Sucks getting old and responsible.

I alat $1.2k a year towards game. Roughly $100 a month but I have three months of the year where I don't buy any games, two are due to holidays (my birthday and christmas) and the other is just so I can save a few $. So in reality Im only supposed to spend $900 a year towards gaming but I end up breaking and going as far as $1.2k, but after I reach that limit im not supposed to break at all, and wait till my budget clears. Getting new system is the pain, and I'll have to ask for them around the holidays.

Didn't someone already post a Poll about this about a week ago?
Where's that search function...

Well, I like to play (and finish) all the games I buy, so it can be anywhere from about $0 to $50. I got FFX for $20 and it took me like 2 months or more to beat it (since my playing time is limited).

$150 to $200, unless we get blessed with a $5 sale or other nonsense, and then I can usually manage an extra $100 on top of that.

I spend everything I can on games. I rarely get new equipment, CDs, or DVDs because I'm just buying games.
