In General Gaming

lock this if this has already been done.

sadly I'm not very rich, but most of my video game collection has been pretty cheap. Sure, for a few "impossible" gems I've shelled out the extra money.

About 1/4th, or 1/2 goes into my games.

Whatever money i get, goes into gaming, or fishing stuff. Im cheap with the gaming too. I wont pay alot for a crappy, rare game when i could get like 5 good common games for the same price.

Pretty much 100% of my spare money goes into gaming, and improving my gaming experience. I'm pretty cheap too, I shop around, and compare a lot.

about 90-95% of my money goes into games.

the other percentages go to my CHocolate Milk.

I can't say how many %... but not very much. I compare much and buy only good, cheap stuff until now.

Most of the money goes into books for university and about Japan and for living.

90% of my spare cash goes into music gear, so that leaves only a little for games and beer.

Negligible for me, I only download NES ROMs.

same here. only systems i own are a NES (that needs the pin thing replaced, so i rarely try to use it) and a Genesis. haven't bought a new game in several years (tho a friend of mine recently started getting back into NES again, and i went with him to buy a few games last weekend. most games were $1.99 but they wanted $7.99 for Kung Fu, the hell?). Emulation is great for me, because it's free and i'm broke, and also i'm a sucky gamer, so the save states really help me out.

I hate Beer its just Nasty. and makes me stupid.

Then don't drink it... that just leaves more for Mr. DNA and myself

As for how much I spend... it depends really. Most of the time I don't have too much cash, so whatever I can sell online and ship out for what money I have gets me what I need. Whatever I make from that sale goes in PayPal, and I use it strictly for gaming needs. Other than that, when taxes roll around I'm usually swimming in new games

I spend a fair bit on Beer but as for games, it varies. At the moment i'm trying to save money for university and towards a next gen console. I'm pretty cheap so I do spend a fair time looking for games, and i'd rather wait and get a second hand copy if it's a new game I want. I also have to spread money between c.d's and d.v.d's too. I'd say about 50 pounds a month, less than a tenth of my monthly income

I'm lucky. I buy the games, my one brother buys the DVDs, and my other brother buys the CDs. I can focus on games.

I think I might be making money, but I'm not sure.

It helps when I pick up 3 Neo Geo games for $10 total and then sell them for $200.

I don't spend much on my games. I like the whole idea of hunting down a game you want and finding it at the cheapest price. If I had to give you a price, I would say that I spend $50.00-$100.00 a year on my games. That's nothing compared to what I spend on wine, beer, and bills
