If we're only counting PC hardware it's around 1,5-2k. My PC is normally used mainly for Photoshop though, not so much gaming.

When counting my gaming stuff I actually use/collect, including physical games, hardware, controllers and peripherals... probably 20-25k.

Slight difference in definitions here.

"What you paid for" is definitely different than "worth"

I assumed this was a PC only thread but it just says gaming.

My Switch OLED was £300. That's about it. I don't have any other consoles. I did buy my TV to use with PS5/XSX but didn't bother buying those consoles lol so I guess you could add another £300-£2000 on top of my PC. TV was £1,700.

I’m in a position where I could probably do this myself but I don’t have a PC and can’t miss out on From’s games. I’ve sold my Xbox but kept my PS5 pretty much for that reason alone.

[begotten]

Don't want to list everything but easily $10K+ USD. This room I'm in is a gaming & workplace set-up kind of integrated together (2 PCs) so it's a bit inflated. Yes I paid for everything.

[Tchu-Espresso]

I just purchased an entire 5.1.2 system for a bit over $10k so am still dizzy from that.

Thinking about getting a direct drive wheel setup now.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

To much, I don't want to think about it.

 

[Fbh]

Ps5 $600 (fuck u Sony!!)
55" LG C1 $850
Sony 3D whatever headset $70

Not that much.
My laptop was around $1000 and I also use it to game though I bought it more as an all around device and use it for work too.

Neither is a real cinema setup, but both do use quality components. The London setup does not feel “10x better” despite the cost, rather the cost is a result of picking top of the line gear. Our French Polynesia home will have a proper cinema with a Barco projector and Meridien speakers, at,probably 4x the cost of our London setup.

Baller!!!!

 

[ReBurn]

Whatever my PS5, XSX, OLED Switch, Quest 2, and aging 1080 laptop are worth. Plus the oodles of controllers I buy because I like the colors. And the pile of Anbernic handhelds I can't seem to stop buying. Maybe also this 11" M2 iPad Pro because I use it to play games, too.

[Alex Anderson]

I have a PS4 and Switch sitting on a $60 desk from Office Depot with the faux wood surface peeling off and a 26" Westinghouse LCD TV from 2008.

 

[fran.fernandez]

65 oled, all sonos Dolby atmos sound , ps 5 etc … idk . Around 5k.
That’s not counting pcs and some expensive monitors I have (each 1k) but mostly use for work so I skip it.

 

[Rhazkul]

You guys are ballin outta control.

 

[Ozzie666]

I've turned into a bit of an Analogue and 8bitdo supporter/fan. Sometimes you need to overpay for these things, like the Pocket, NT, SG, NOIR, DUO, Dock, Controllers - if you want them sooner rather than later. Easily spending several thousand on everything.
Scalpers and resellers are making a killing and Analogue doesn't produce enough, fast enough.

 

[baphomet]

Everything? 10's of thousands, possibly hundred?

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

I'm not even sure anymore.


My latest gaming PC build alone costs more than $3000 not including the monitor and fancy accessories I bought to game on it.

PS5 cost $399 (Digital) not to mention all the accessories like controllers, charging kits, headphones, PSVR2, etc.

I also have my older gaming PC and several consoles from previous gens.


Gaming is a passion for me so I don't mind spending a lot on it to ensure I get the best gaming experience.

 

[Achille0s]

Pc Rtx 3070 + 2k monitor 2000e like 2 years ago
Xbox series x 500e

 

[Shtef]

- xbox series x: 650 €
- PC: around 1500 €

 

[NeonDelta]

TV, Pc, ps5, steamdeck - total of about £4.5k

 

[Neilg]

hmmm… let’s see.

Love that togo sofa, its insanely comfortable.

My PC was $0, but it cost my work 7.5k and has a 4090...
I also have 5 VR headsets from work - a varjo aero, xr3, quest pro, vive xr, and rift. rarely game on them as it's work related, but i've gone in on alyx and project wingman.

Does my living room count? It's not exclusively for gaming but next week I'm taking my PS5 downstairs finally and first up is horizon FW. It's a multi fuction space, gaming will be at least half of the use the tv gets, and every decision in the renovation was made to have the space revolve around the tv.
3 months ago we took everything down to the studs and basically rebuilt. It's been a very long process. Don't have the rug yet, but everything is on the way. 4 weeks and it'll be fully finished. I haven't even added up the total cost yet but we're over 40k.

The fireplace mantel is custom - designed it and sent drawings to a place in new jersey to cast in concrete. it's fucking sick, it's just one solid piece of concrete 90 inches wide, got a super nice satin finish to it.

This is what it looked like the first week of January.... taking down the old shit fireplace. The entire structure of the old fireplace wasnt even as wide as the opening to the new fireplace, it looked totally lost on the wall. real pathetic looking.

The whole process was a fucking nightmare and we had relentless curveballs. We were living in the house while doing this too, and i'd never, ever, do that again.

 

[CashPrizes]

65in Oled TV: $2100
PS5: $500
Original backwards compatible PS3: $600
New 4090 PC: $3500
2015 PC now for emulators/torrenting: $2100
Oculus Quest 2: $300

Not gonna jot prices down all the controllers and Gaming/MMO mice and TV stand and 3D audio headset and crap. Got the TV with a built in sound bar and glass bezel. Lets just assume all that stuff is like $1200 or so. Does my $300 recliner count (it's actually a really good recliner and I got it on clearance)?

So total of $9800 or so. I have another room with a TV and my mini consoles and Xbox 360. I don't have my other retro consoles hooked up.

 

[Goalus]

3500 € Samsung GQ75Q90R QLED TV
500 € Xbox Series X
450 € Xbox One S (the red Gears 4 limited edition)
2500 € Surface Book 3 (wirelessly connected to the TV, for older games that aren't on Xbox)

Roughly 7000 €, spent throughout the past seven years.

(I also have an Xbox One X (500 € incl. Gears 5) and an OG Xbox One (375 € incl. Forza Horizon 2, Ori and the Blind Forest and Rare Replay), but they aren't part of my gaming setup.

Edit:
Forgot that I also have a Switch (190 €) that has been collecting dust ever since I bought it.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

LG C1 65” OLED - $1800
Sonos Arc/Sub/Ones - $1750
Switch - $300
PS5 - $500
2TB SSD for PS5 - $180
PC from 2016 (GTX 1070, 4790k, 32GB RAM) - $1000
Dell S2716GR 27” monitor - $450
Sennheiser HD598 - $100
New 3DS XL - $130
PS Vita - $180
Edit: Forgot to mention PSVR bundle for $250


So for my modern setup, close to $6500.


And obviously a shitload of games, controllers, accessories, subscriptions, I won’t even start to total this. Though I am usually picking software and stuff up on sale. With the above included, I’ve probably spent a total of $15k on gaming since 2016. Just over $2000 a year on my main hobby - plus at any point if disaster strikes and I need to stop
purchasing new stuff, I have a library of classics I can always go back to. Pretty damn good value compared to a lot of hobbies out there.

 

[drganon]

Not much. $300 for switch, $550 for ps5 and $400 for tv.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

65" LG CX: about $2k
PS5: $500

Vita: $125 or so (definitely not a waste of money)
2DS XL: $125 or so
Steam Deck: $400 (huge waste of money)
