1000+ in 8 years

YAY! I started p2

around the 15-20,000 USD mark for sure. If I include all consoles. (I also actively collected mint Neo-Geo games for awhile...they cost...much).
This is over the course of 18 years or so(that I have actually earned the money to buy games myself), so it really isnt all that insane.

I'm including the price of games I was given as presents as I would have got money if I didn't get them and would have bought that game probably anyway

I used to upgrade my PC every year and sell the old stuff to help cover the costs. Not done that for about 8 years now (wow - that was a long time ago! )

The only recent stuff (last 4 years) has been a 360 and (many) games (most of which I get 2nd hand) and a handful of PC games. And I guess you could count a new TV in that, but we got that with money my wife and I got when we were married.

So... probably... £500 in the last 5 years, £1,000 if you include the TV and some other misc hardware purchases.
