Just been through my eBay purchase history for the year and I'm at just over £2k on retro games and assorted merch. About what I expected really as I haven't done much else with my free time this year.
Then probably another few hundred on newer Switch games from Play Asia, ShopTo etc.

I think I might go on a shopping abstinence. Looking at my pile of shame and replay wishlist there are some big titles (profile and length) and easily more hours of gaming than I have to play.
For context of how long the backlogue is - Undertale is in there.

Well, I bought a PS5 and did a PC upgrade to AMD 5800 CPU, so I'm already clocking in at about £1,300 on just those. Wouldn't be surprised if there was another £1,000 on games, Game Pass for PC and other bits of hardware (recently bought a SSD for £250).
Probably should feel disgusted, but as I am no longer spending £300+ a month on train travel for work and don't really have expensive tastes outside of gaming hardware, I don't feel too awful about it.

I just did some sums and for a "casual gamer", it's pretty amazing (-ly shocking). £292.50 on 15 games (cheapest, Tomb Raider £3.74, most expensive AC Valhalla w/Season Pass, £67.99). Add the PS5, extra controller, charging stand and PS Plus, which is £564.96. Comes to £857.46. Don't tell my wife, please.  |

£1,327.61 according to the sheet of shame this has prompted me to put together.
Although I suppose did sell a Series S and buy an X to replace it which isn't factored in.
£42.95 on physical and then £24.99 on the digital version of 13 Sentinels is probably my biggest shame, considering that I managed to lose the physical copy and didn't think much of the digi one. £70 well spent!
Last year would've been a bit eye watering with PS5, 3080 and a lot more full price games.
Extreme grey area bargain of the year was €4.60 for an Argentinian key for Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania (which is shit solo, so glad I didn't pay full whack!)
24 (well, 23) games at £718.25, so pretty much bang on £30 on average.
And yep, there are a few games like TWEWY2 that are still in plastic wrap...

Been a cheap year for me. Bought cheapo game pass/gold trick a few years ago which is still running, thanks to rewards points going to 3 month extensions every so often.
The only games I have properly bought beyond milking Game pass for what interests me, have been CoD Vanguard and BF 2042.
Total spend £130- 2x£65 crappy new gen digital version upselling prices...

I can make you feel better Duff. Roughly:
Playstation: £1813
Xbox: £1052
Switch: £710
Total: 3575
Technically you could add another £642 to that as I bought a PS5 for someone else but as it wasn’t for me I’m not counting it in “my” gaming spend.

Hmm, this was the year I got back into sim racing so I'm about £3k down on that. New PC, wheel and pedals, triple monitors and a rig don't come cheap.
Beyond that, I haven't bought a PS5 game and all year and PC games are dirt cheap. PSN and Game Pass must be another £80 or so.
Sold my PS4 Pro and PSVR and recouped about £300 so not all bad.

Cyberpunk second hand for about £20
Gotg shared at £25.
So £70 in a year and played many many games.

To be fair, as someone with both Game Pass and a PS5, I'd still take Returnal over everything I've downloaded through GP this year  |

A permanent wheel rig is a huge indulgence but there aren't really many other things that can be simulated as well as closely as driving a car. If you're going direct drive, it's got to be worth going down the 'proper' sim route to compliment it. I'm being a massive snob, but if you have a direct drive wheel, you'll really benefit from software that provides more realism than the GT series traditionally has. |

Sold my PS5 because my triple sreen and vr sim racing rig was too much fun, still dont regret it. Downside is I find it hard to play a driving game that isnt on a screen 2 inches from my knuckles now. |

Fairly cheap year for me due to Game pass and buying games on sale. Even before GP I was user to buying oldish PC games in Steam sales and bundles so not used to seeing people spend so much (no judgement, spend your money however you want).
2 years of GP - around £100
WRC10 - £30 (disc version, will probably sell before 11 comes out)
BF2042 - £45 (disc version, will definitely sell before it comes to GP)
A couple of Lego games - £15
Witcher 3 goty - £15
Minecraft realm for a few months - £15 ish, but mainly paid for in credit from MS reward points
Forza 4 DLC - ~£20
Trials Rising + DLC - £12
The only hardware I bought was a steering wheel to play rally games on, but it ended up giving me shoulder pain so quickly sold it. Probably lost £80 total on it.
I've completed every game/dlc I've bought (or played a reasonable amount of time if it's one you can't complete), with the exception of one of the Lego games which has only been played 5 or so hours so far.

I guess I better start looking into this properly. Welp. By goal for next year is to get on the housing market. /looks for house for one extra bedroom then I actually need. |

Surprisingly little, most of it was gifts but I'll tot up the values anyway.
I got Pokémon Snap for my birthday, £35 using Tesco vouchers.
I used an eShop voucher to get Pokémon Brilliant Diamond so £42, eShop credit was a gift.
I used eShop credit to get the Animal Crossing Happy Home DLC £14 with gold coins.
I bought Persona 5 Strikers for £23.
Nintendo Online for the family will be £31.49 once I renew it at Christmas.
£145.49 unless I'm tempted by something in the Christmas sales.

I'm not going to do it. I know I've spent around £500 on just PS2 games this year, I don't want to know the total amount.

I'm not doing it either, it will make me realise how much I wasted on impulse buys that I never played! Although I guess this years spend can't be as bad as the previous because I didn't buy a console this year.

£527.44 according to my receipt emails
Cheapest Deus Ex: Mankind Divided £3.49
Most expensive Resident Evil Village £54.99
Plus some freebies along the way. I haven’t bought physical this year.
Mostly its sale, indie and mid-tier titles in the £10-25 range with RE Village, Neo: TWEWY and Psychonauts my big full pricers. There is a period from when I remember feeling pretty bummed out in general near the start of the summer where I obviously went on a spending spree buying something every other day that really did the damage.
63 purchases in total if you include full games, DLC and freebies.

My best estimate is £282.22, based on my bank statements for this year. This includes two entries saying ‘Valve’ which I’m assuming are Steam purchases, even though all the others say ‘SteamGame’. Which isn’t so bad really. Add in a replacement gamepad, and it’s almost exactly £300.
That’s just stuff for me though. There was also a PS5 for my youngest (who saved up for it doing household jobs, to be fair), a number of games for that and the Switch bought on Amazon for birthdays and Xmas, and a £60 Destiny expansion for my eldest. I don’t think that counts though - it’s not going towards feeding my own habit. I game mostly on PC, and tend to pick most of my games up in Steam sales.
EDIT: bugger. Add on another £16, as I bought the Metal Gear Solid HD pack for PS3 on EBay. A fair amount of my spending this year has been because I got into deep-dive gaming podcasts, which prompted a number of purchases out of pure nostalgia.

In no particular order:
Games and whatnot:
£9.97 Assorted Minecraft add on shit
£14.16 Skyrim New Anniversary Rip Off DLC
£38.23 Forza Horizon 5 add on shit.
£34.99 Diablo 2
£89.99 Far Cry 6
£4.39 Lonely Mountains add on shit
£3.19 Sine Mora Ex
£16.76 Assorted Pinball FX3 add on shit
£53.99 Mass Effect
£4.19 Chaosbane add on shit
£7.99 Sonic Mania
Other crap:
£219.99 Storage Expansion
£59.99 Daystrike Camo Controller
£89.99 Wireless Headset
£60 Game Pass
So £700 give or take a pint or two.
Not sure of the actual cash spent as some of it will be rewards credits and some will be quidco cashback which doesn't count as real money.

Evening Ratfans. As I'm sat here sitting (Listing to greatest hits radio, Friday I'm in love!) I thought I would let you all know what I have spent on gaming this year and hopefully hear from a few of you lot about how much you have spent, just to make me feel better/worse. On that Bombshell: JanuaryGamepass £57 FebruaryFallout 4 season pass: Gamepass quest credit Sniper Elite III: Gamepass quest credit (not played) NFS HP: £17 (played, sold) Gamepad: £45 MarchGhost Recon BP £12 (not played) AprilXbox wireless headset £90 (it is excellent) MayME Legendary: £8 (rest with gamepass quest credit. Played for a few hours) RE 8: £49 (completed) Gamepad: £59:99 TLOU2: £15 (not played, but had already completed) AC Rogue hd: £6 (not played) Not sure of months from now but from June until last week: CyberPunk: £23 (not played) DeathStranding: £15 (not played) Sinking City: £12 (played about 10 hours) Song of Horror: £27 (played about 4 hours) FC6 Gold ed: £30 (rest Gamepass quest credit) (completed) Lake: £0:99 (rest Gamepass quest credit) (not played) Halo Elite 2 pad: £180 20th Anniversary xbox pad: £60 Guardians of the Galaxy: £38 (not played) PSN 12 months: £32 I think that is is. So what have I learned! Gamepass quests are feckin' brilliant. Stop buying games unless I am going to start them, in fairness a good few of the above were in sales. As for the pads. Some people like trainers, I like xbox ltd pads! Oh Yeah! So my expenditure has gone up somewhat, as I just bought a Series X and PS5! |
