About how much $$$ do you actually spend a year on DDR?

More than I spend in a year on cigarettes. Considering I smoke at least a pack a day, that's pretty sad.

If I actually figured out the amount, I'd probably cry at the amount I lost.

Considering there are 48 weeks in a year... and I've been playing for about a year... I will estimate my current total of arcade gaming to come to 500 dollars. If you add both PS2 games (DDRMAX JP and Max2JP) you get around 630 dollars. Add 5th mix to that... and you get around 690 dollars. Add two pads for Dreamcast... and that's up to 730, add two more cheap-o ignitions for PSX, it's 760.

Since I bought my Japanese PS2 strictly for FFX; I can't count that in my DDR total.

So, I've concluded that I have only spent around 760 dollars on the game for the year I've spent with it. I expected it to be around 1500; phew

I guess that really does mean that it is cheaper to play at the arcade all you want than buy your own machine.

I spend about 20 bux a week on it, so there is 52 weeks in a year and that times 20 is $1040 plus my Metal pad($60) and DDR Max($40) we get a total of: $1140

That really isn't bad concidering some poeple will spend i dunno, $5000 on just a plasma screen TV so they can have more fun watching TV as their hobby. While we spend about 1000 a year for entertainment, music, socializing, excursize.. it really isn't bad compared to most things.

Not too much. But if you count how much money I spend on arcade games in general (which are mostly other exercise games) then I don't want to know!

Ok I average about 7 bucks a week on DDR, so that would be about...........$364 a year

ouch.

I probably go to the arcade about 3 times a week on average....about 25 bucks a each visit (I'm counting the cost of food since it's all due to DDR). Lets see 25*3*52.........it's best not to think about it.

I spend about the same as you XALAsToR .. I wont bother to actually figure out the math either .. as I dont want to know...

sokochan · Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2003 8:09 pm Post subject:

at least 6 days a week
at least $5 a day
52 to 53 weeks in a year (every 7 years there is a 53rd week [only approx. 3 days])
so...

6 * 5 * 52 =

(

$1560

)

Around 500 maybe, I don't play much cause of work, work, and work.

I work entirely too much to get to play a lot. I go once a week to the arcade to play, MAYBE twice if I get the free time. I spend like 3 or 4 bucks a time though so not much. But I did buy a PS2 and Max and Konamix and the pad.
