I don't own this stuff at home (unless you count dancing with the keyboard), so I've spent over 500 dollars in the arcade.

Hmmm....playing once every 2 wks. from March-beginning of Sept, spent $5 each time, so there's 12 play sessions: $60

Since school year started, about $5 twice a week and $10 once a week, with a $15 stamina day once per week. That's been about 10 weeks. $350

Now, some of these stamina days have been real hell...I can remember three $20 days anda $35 day, and I'm sure there have been more, so add an extra $125.

Total: something like $535. Crazy. And I own no form of DDR other than DWI at home.

Let's see...

2 PS2 DDR Console games = $80
2 mats (3rd party and knockoff RO2.0) = $50
Arcade = $40

Grand Total = $170

It would be more like 370, but i had 4 one-hour free cards with me and my friends... Pumped the machine up to 120 credits(it only showed 99 credits for 1 hour) and played like crazy! Too bad their all gone! E2.gif

On the arcade? Well, we have it .50 a go. Generally I bring $10-15 with me to the arcade, and rarely $20 if a bunch of friends are coming along. I'll estimate conservatively. I started playing in June, and played about 3 times a week during the summer. So that's $240 over 2 months of summer play. Then I spent $10 every weekend since school started back up. That's another $160. That's $400 after 5 months of play.

Considering my recent trip to the AZ tournament, I've probably spent upwards of $1500, easily.

For game pads, probably about 75$
The DDR games themselves 65$

Then for arcade visits, maybe 20$ so far...I rarely visit them..(I go to Chuck E Cheese and play for only 1 token! 0.25!)xD



I can't wait until I get my licsense..... E7.gif

Since I started playing at the arcade earlier this year I have spent over $2000 on DDR at the arcade.

I think I should quit DDR and get a drug habit, or maybe I should try heavy gambling - there's a casino close by...

Where I live the ddr machine only needs 25 cents for 3 songs so 've spent like $50 bucks in the past. Gotta love wunderland E1.gif.

I spent $45 on ignition pads but some fat kid was ponding on my pads and broke them so i had to buy another pair. but the second time i bought it was like $55.

I bought ddr konamix and MAX = $100

Total $250. Not to shabby.

Now I have to make a topic about fat people byieeee...

Let's see over the last 2 years I've played. I easily blow $40 to $60 a week. Times 24 months. OMFG!!!! What a crap load of money that is.

$4320 and that's just with spending $40 dollars a week. I know I've spent more. I don't play at home(besides dWI).

About $5 dollars every time at the arcade, it costs a dollar to play Extreme ONCE... disgust.gif disgust.gif disgust.gif , maybe 250 or 300 by now, maybe around 500 on pads and CFs and speakers (ya) at home.

Is that average? laugh.gif
