HA! I got you all beat:

Playstation 2: free (Christmas)
DDRMAX2 Bundle: free (Christmas)
Madkatz Beat Pad: free (Christmas)
DDR Extreme: free (early Christmas)
DDR at the arcades: maybe $9 total. I've rarely come across an arcade with DDR (but now there are finally some nearby).

Yeah, I'm a home-player. Not by choice.

which makes that around $900 for just my arcade time this year.

Oh, and I forgot about the $140 for the Japanese PS2, 80 for Extreme JP, 70 for 5th Mix, the four American PS2 mixes I have, and the $600 I've spent on metal pads, all of which are collecting dust because I live in a second floor apartment less than one mile away from an awesome arcade...
