[kernow]

All the time doing this could be spent playing the games you've bought!

[Mr Ono]

Sadly, you are right. I was almost exclusively playing Supreme Commander 2 on PC at the moment (since giving my 360 FIFA 10 away) but my PC gave up the ghost and decided to shut down whenever I threw anything hard at it to do.

Hence the new acquisition

[koopatroopa90]

dont forgot the two tone (blue/white) controller,

I have the blue/white controller, with marios cap in the middle. That was an excellent buy actually - about ?12 on ebay (unboxed but great condition). Was toying with collecting the Mario/Wario/Luigi ones but decided it was too much.

That reminds me, wonder if anyone on here has the gold coloured gamecube/pad?

I wonder if people would be as open, as honest and as eager to reveal how many hours they've spent on videogames this year. I'm guessing not...

[Number45]

I'd be more than happy to give full disclosure on that, but how on earth would it be tracked? We'd need to arrange an experiment, and agree in advance to log all play time!

I can give you a rough estimate though based on ~2hrs per day for me: 112 * 2 = 224 hours / 9.33 days.

[Charlie]

Be quite a scary experiment I think, particularly for those who feel they spend too much time playing videogames. Personally, just seeing the hours I've spent playing Bad Company 2 there in black and white on the online leaderboards is an affront to my sensibilities. And that's just one game.

[NW2013]

Wow, I thought I was into games but I was wrong!

[nakamura]

I wonder if people would be as open, as honest and as eager to reveal how many hours they've spent on videogames this year. I'm guessing not...

Well I average about 1.5 hours a day at home. Sometimes its 6, sometimes none depending on what is going on. At work is interesting, got around an hour in today when it was quiet, on the PSP of course.

A lot, but it's my only hobby at the moment. And I love it.

[MisterBubbles]

Well i had to purchase a new Wii and MH3, so i can put my japanese Wii away into my collection. Pretty hefty spending day then.

LOL. Surely that goes hand in hand with expenditure? We can work out the cost of gaming per hour
