How old are you? Spending, and other gaming stuffs

I'm 25 and own a PS3 and (old) PC. For the past 11 months or so (since I got my PS3) I have spent about R2000+ a month on games, but that's gonna change as I have to start paying back my student loan at the end of this month :( Am gonna try to buy at least one new title every month, maybe two depending on what comes out.
 
Turned 21 a few months ago. Own a PS3, PS2 as well as a laptop that can hold it's own with few of the games from today. Being a student, I can't spend a lot on games. I buy a new game every two months or so, generally from a bargain binor on Platinum, costing less than R500. I prefer buying classics for the PS2 and PC though, because I really don't think this new generation has a lot to offer. It's all about graphics and production values; and it's damn expensive :P

I have turned 20 a few days ago,I own a PC,and PS2,never have and never will play online games on a console,I will pay R500+ on a new online game,but not for SP...

I prefer my PC rather than buying a Xbox or PS3,and becuase the land is going out of reccesion I can now buy 2 games per month :D
 
23

PS (The original fat one :D)
360 (About 500-1000 a month depending on games that come out)
PC (Just spent R3K on a monitor so u pick what the components cost)
Had a DS which was stolen :(
 
30, got a few PC's and a Xbox 360. Spend more on PC than console though. Recently overhauled my pc. Don't spend that much on games though. My internet usage costs more than what I would spend monthly on average on games.
 
I'm 21, and lately I haven't been spending any money on gaming. My Xbox got bust, so that put a hold on things. Otherwise I was buying a new release game once every 2 months on average. Also haven't been playing lately though, but I am missing it and looking forward to getting back into it.

Play mostly PC, only use PS3 for blu-ray movies. I spend between R350 and R700 per month on games roughly.

The gaming environment is becoming quite scary for the PC gamers, and is leaning totally towards consoles. Most of emo, but we shall see what happens.

Zap_Tech... I fail to see why you have such a high-end PC if not used for PC games? Just an observation, perhaps you are a graphic designer or 3D animator?

Nah not a graphic designer nor a 3d Animator, i dont do any of those things. I am just a gamer not sure if i fall into casual category these days, i can only play a few hours in the day as it is. I am not sure why i built this machine anymore.
 
Umm 28ish.

Owns me a PS2, GameCube, PS3, 360, PC maybe soon a Wii / DS.

I spend a decent amount on games, nothing crazy like some of you people, but usually about 1-2 games a month depending on the titles, and whether I have a gap in my gaming schedule (sounds like a job doesn't it).

Started on consoles and arcades in local cafes / malls when I was wee-one. Got a PC in my early teens and spent most of my time playing on PC hitting up LANs. Once I got a PS2 the revolution happened and I am now in love with console gaming based on many factors. I still like my PC, but I LOVE my consoles!

Used to be a MMORPG freak, but that changed for a few reasons. Got sick of the communities primarily, and well, my ADSL got raped by the idiots at Telkom. Been keen to get back into one but the idea of dealing with a online community again in any capacity scares me honestly, especially for endgame content.

So yeah, and stuff. I guess I like games, often to my detriment.

I'm 28

-Xbox 360
-PC

Spend about R1000 a month sometimes less.... depends how quickly i finish a new title. I purchase one new title at a time if its good enough (R700) else i will wait to buy it second hand, i have to have finished the new title before i purchase a new one .... A couple friends and I make sure we don't buy the same games and swap them.

I mostly get xbox games, unless its a pc exclusive.

I spent R9000 on a 37 Full HD tv last year, mostly for gaming.
 
I'm 25!

Own a Xbox360 that recently RROD'd, a PS3 that has BRay problems, and a Dated PC thats being held together by an Ati Radeon 4890 suprisingly well :)
(ok seriously the PS3 has been sent back pending Partserv's amazingly slow service, and waiting for Xbox360 slim..)

I tend to buy new titles often, most of them collect dust unfortunately. The majority of my geld is spent on PS3 titles. Also I ONLY buy exclusives for either console, otherwise I buy it for PC. The most recent title being Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction for PC, (god damn DRM! had to crack it just to play it lol)
Used to play alot of MMO's on PC (world of warcraft, warhammer online, Age of Conan)

Otherwise very in love with my PS3 slim 250gb, spending rougly just enough for a game a month, depending what is being released. I'm also very particular when it comes to buying games, I try not give into the Hype but sometimes it gets the better of me :D (Final Fantasy XIII and Heavy Rain..)
Am an avid PC gamer, currently playing Assassin's Creed 2 and Metro 2033 which makes my PC show it's age (5 year old Core2Duo)

Outside of gaming you'll find me professionally arb'ing on my couch streaming HD TV Series to my 32" TV and sexy surround sound :)

Current wish list is Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake and looking forward to Deus Ex :)
 
23, own a 360, PS3 and two high end gaming PCs, two lower end LAN PCs. Spend 90% of my game time on PC, but the consoles get some play time if they get a decent EXCLUSIVE-exclusive (no chance of future plans for a port).

How much I spend a month is up to the release schedule. If there are 10 great games or some new "amazing" piece of PC hardware that I totally don't need, I'll buy them. If its a quite month, then I'll probably just re-activate an MMO subscription or play some HoN & multiplayer shooters.
 
I'm 30 (how time flies) and I own a PC. Now and then I think of getting a console but then I get so little time to game these days that it's just not worth it. I used to buy games quite regularly but I've got such a backlog that I made a promise to myself to only buy new games once I've finished the ones I got.
 
27 years old. I own a PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, NDS.

I used to purchase about 3 games per month, but I've got other hobbies which makes my gaming "budget" fluctuate.
