What was the most money you have spent on a game and/or system? Controllers, headsets, add-ons, and other accessories can count too.

Most I've spent on a new game is The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask at $150. The main reason I spent so much on a new factory sealed copy, is because I really wanted to have the original box with it, so I can display it on my shelf, (which I'm doing now) and since it's one of my favorite games ever, and I didn't like how the Gamecube version wasn't properly emulated.

Most on a used game is Metroid Prime Trilogy at $70. This was one of those impulse buys where I thought, "If I don't buy this now, I will never see it again." So I bought it. I usually go the the media and game stores twice a week, and I have never seen it since. This was also way before I knew about Amazon, so I don't know if it's cheaper there, but I already have it so...

Most I've paid for a new system is the Wii U at $350. I bought it the 1st day it came out. I didn't camp out or anything, I just called Gamestop, and Walmart which had 2 deluxe ones left, so I went there and got it. I got the deluxe one since it game with Nintendo Land (which is $60 by itself) and a bunch of accessories and more memory than the white one and it doesn't come with the game and some of the accessories and was $300. So I thought the deluxe was a good deal.

I have actually never bought a used system before. I'm surprised I haven't, since I usually buy used games. Unless it's one that I really want of course, then I can't wait for a used copy.

EDIT: If you're a PC gamer, PCs can count too. Me personally, am not counting mine since I'm not much of a PC gamer.

Well, the most I've paid for a console was the PS2 which cost $299.99 around launch. Bought it at K-Mart through layaway.

Also purchased my N3DS around launch at $249.99.

And the most expensive game I've paid for was Last Window: The Secret of Cape West which cost $47.50 new. It was an import from the UK as it's not available in the US. Purchased it soon after it was released. Of course now you can get it for around $15. It was so worth it though.

Game: The only times I spent a lot of money on games is when I bought multiple games at once. When I first got 360 (which came with Halo 3), I bought Fallout 3 and Assassin's Creed cause I had the money to and felt that with more games, I wouldn't be able to beat one game so soon.

System: My PC lol

The Wii U is the only system I've bought on launch day. I was thinking about the 3DS too, but there wasn't really any games that appealed to me at the time. I got it when the price went down to $170.

And there are a ton of PCs out there... prices please. :P

I actually didn't buy any games with my N3DS. My DS had seen better days and I still had a few titles which required the L and R buttons so I purchased it so I could play those games till something good came out for the handheld.

i usually get home systems as christmas gifts.

the most expensive system I have bought was probably a ps2 for 85 dollars, CIB

game: cod mw3 hardened edition, 100 USD

Most expensive purchase was Baldurs Gate 2 (4 CD version) and Plane Scape Torment (4 CD version) witch I considered an expensive investment back in those days, but it was worth it.

System: Wii U Basic for $300 new at launch.
Game: $60 for the MGS: HD Collection on release day.

For me, the most expensive I bought was the 3DS on launch day. Good thing I got it if it wasn't for that Ambassador program so that I won't get those free downloads.

The most expensive game I bought was Ibara for the Playstation 2. Bought it used for $130.

Most expensive NEW console I bought, was my 500gb Slim PS3 (With two Dual Shock Controllers and Bioshock Infinit) for $500.00 AUSD. The most expensive SECONDHAND console I bought was my Neo Geo (with 12 games including Metal Slug and (one of, if not THE greatest game for this console) Magician Lord) for $220.00 AUSD.

Most expensive NEW game I bought...well prepaid for, is Watch Dogs Ded Sec Edition (EB Games exclusive ) and that's $148.00 AUSD. The most expensive SECONDHAND game I bought was the US Version of Final Fantasy III (actually Final Fantasy VI) for $160.00 AUSD... and the reason for that you can ask Enkidoh... >.<

New game:
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - Wizard's Edition, EUR, PS3 (it was about 110 euros)
MOTHER3 - Deluxe Box, JPN, GBA (it was nearly 200 euros.. because of that special GBA it had)

used game:
Dragon Warrior VII, NTSC-U, PSX (around 80e)
Gensou Suikoden II, PAL-E, PSX (around 80e)
Rule of Rose, PAL-F/E, PS2 (around 80e)
SaGa Frontier I+II+guide book, NTSC-U, PSX (around 80e)

new system:
Wii U, EUR (around 300e)

old system:
Nintendou Super Famicom, NTSC-J (around 80e)

O_o my monies...

I think the most I spent on game was for Zelda Ocarina of Time, it was like $70 at BestBuy in 1998. Does that sound right?

Most on a System would probably $200 for the Gamecube.

The most expensive I bought is the PS3 Phat 80GB from Gamestop, I think the cost is like $200 back in 2010, in the new condition.

Just recently bought Tales of Xillia Limited Edition for the PS3 $59.99 at my local game store. I was thinking that was worth buying it, over the standard version, I guess I was lucky that sells the few copies over there. Same goes for Deus Ex: Human Revolution back in 2011 at Gamestop. Also, I bought Final Fantasy 13 (PS3) (Pre-owned) in 2010, I think for $54.99 is my second expensive purchase from Gamestop as well.

I'm a bit of a penny pincher - I don't think I've ever paid much more than 45 quid for any game. Maybe a bit more than that (N64 games were around 50 quid or so, if I remember - long time ago now).

But yeah, I don't go in for special editions or any of that business and I usually always wait for consoles to drop a bit in price too. Takes a lot to part me from my cash!

PS3 when it was released....

System: Used PS3 at gamestop (with a powerup rewards points coupon) around 220-230 something dollars
Games: Any games I preordered or bought at launch for $59.99 (eh I'm gonna throw in my cheapest new limited editions [from preorders] - Final Fantasy X/X-2 remake/Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMIX $39.99)
Games Used: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - 30 something dollars with powerup rewards card
System (New): Xbox 360 Slim (the black one after my old fat white 20GB one died to RROD) Estimated cost $199-$249
Peripheral: Kinect - $149.99

Must've been PS2 when it was completely new - and also Nintendo 64.

Didn't buy a 3DS until this week, and I paid about 1万9000円 for it - not too bad compared to what it cost during release.

Might purchase a PS4 when it comes, though.. so there's that.

Just pre-ordered Dragon Quest Monsters 2 - Iru to Luca no Fushigina Fushigina Kagi Limited Edition 3DS LL - 222 euros with shipping... <3

My most expensive console was the good ol'phat PS3 for about 500$. However, it wasn't THE priciest game system (in broad sense) that I bought. This title goes to my PC - for 2500$ (Core i7 950, nVidia GTX 580). As for the game, that would be GT5 Collector's Edition (not to be confused with the Signature Edition). I wanted to buy Ni no Kuni's Collector Edition with a cute Drippy plushie and cool-looking "Wizard's Companion" book but the price wasn't right (pun intended ;)).

Most expensive console would be my PS3 at launch for 600 Euro's. But damn it was worth it.

you are a wise person

preordered dark souls 2 collectors edition. fully paid off, 120

Back when NeoGeo was released... Around $650

With adjusted inflation, that's over $1000 in today's value.

Shit is so expansive.

PS3 for $270.

PS2 and 3DS second place at $200.

I bought a laptop for $1000 but that doesn't count because it wasn't for gaming.

Most expensive game I bought was Disgaea D2 collector's edition at $85. This is the only collector's edition I've ever bought.

Most expensive regular games: Skyrim Legendary Edition and Grand Theft Auto V at $60.

Most expensive used game: Tales of Symphonia for Gamecube at $45.

most expensive console was the red Pokemon 3DSXL for $220 i think
most spent on a game was $80 for the import of Heartgold

New most expensive purchase is Wind Waker Wii U at $300.

I also got Brave Fencer Musashi at $40. Not as much as ToS, but it's pretty close.

I really want to play the game Rule of Rose for the PS2, but it's $100 USED. Gahh...

Console gamer so I'd have to say most likely the PS4, don't remember if the PS3 was as pricey when it first launched.

The First Gen PS3 sold here in Australia for around $1k... The PS4 is nowhere near as expensive...

Xbox one for $399. That hurt a little.

The most I spent on a game is Fatal Frame 4 only released in Japan. around 70 USD...

most on console is my ps3 at 299....thats about it :)

I remember the launch price was $599 I think, which is crazy for a game console, but at the time, it was a steal compared to normal blu-ray players.
