That's over a 31 year period...

I mean, If you look at some of us older guys... We can afford to drop at least a couple thousand on our desktops and even more on our Monitors/TV's, Keyboards, Mice, Headsets, Joysticks, etc...

Then there's my internet... I pay extra to have the very best... The fastest available to me... I would not do so if not for the patches, updates, and free games i download...

I don't NEED high speed internet, Really i could get away with ADSL which is like $15/mo in my area...

And then there are upgrades, maybe I'm the only one that is constantly upgrading my PC... I dunno, I would say over the last 10 years alone if i were only to look at my PC upgrades & hardware for my PC I've probably spent an easy $12k... Over 10 years that's not really much money and that doesn't include my games or internet...

Though its true, I probably only buy a few games a year, It still adds up...

Anyways the point is, I believe those numbers are inaccurate... I believe that they are too low... That or I am completely bat-shit crazy...

You know... My $12k is probably nothing compared to what some of the other guys on SR have spent in the last 10 years...

Note: I didn't go back more than 10 years, because back then I didn't really play video games...
