    What've you got and what do you do with it?

    Ok, so we're all gamers here but I'm wondering who games on what?

    Do you have a favourite machine for general gaming? One that you use more for online play than any other?

    It'd be handy if we knew as we can tailor our content more towards the majority's needs.

    So, answer me these questions to help us get a better HEXUS.gaming going for you!

    Here goes:

    What gaming systems do you own and use on a regular basis?

    (PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, GameCube)

    If you play online, which system do you play online with?

    (PC, PS3, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, DS)

    How often do you buy games and roughly how much do you spend on them a month?


    And, just to make it interesting for you lot, we'll give it a week or so and then I'll pick a post at random... the lucky postee will win a selection of games from the HEXUS.gaming library... w00t!

    So come on, tell us what you're up to!

    I buy anywhere between 1-3 games a month depending on what new releases are out. Based on that I spend between £25-80 a month

    I'm buying about 2 games a month at the moment, although in the last 4 weeks I've bought 5 and spent about £110. On average though I spent about £80 a month on games.

    Re: What've you got and what do you do with it?

    What gaming systems do you own and use on a regular basis?
    PC (all the time, online and offline ), PS2 (only really now and then, getting a bit old now and a PS3/360 bit too expensive for a student!), PSP (generally only when im travelling)

    If you play online, which system do you play online with?

    Only play online on My PC, better performance, I prefer using keyboard/mouse, just in generall its a whole lot more natural online when gaming on a PC.

    How often do you buy games and roughly how much do you spend on them a month?

    I buy about 2 or 3 games a month, sometimes less, especially if im still enjoying a current game that im playing, but its only really online games that last longer than a month.

    thats me , doubt i will win but its worth a try

    Re: What've you got and what do you do with it?

    What gaming systems do you own and use on a regular basis?
    PC/PS2 (which has almost gained 'DVD-player only' status!)

    If you play online, which system do you play online with?
    PC

    How often do you buy games and roughly how much do you spend on them a month?
    1/2 a month - with a few months of no purchases at all - depends whats out and what I want to play!

    Re: What've you got and what do you do with it?

    PC only - I cannot for the life of me get on with console controllers. If I were to get a console it would be the Wii.

    If you play online, which system do you play online with?
    PC

    How often do you buy games and roughly how much do you spend on them a month?
    I would say I buy anywhere between 2-6 a year so probably >£15 per month. I suppose I'm not a hardcore gamer but I tend to research what I buy and like what I play (still running Rome Total War and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter on a regular basis for example.)

    Re: What've you got and what do you do with it?

    Xbox360, PC, Wii and DS (have quite a few older ones but thats irrelevant really)

    If you play online, which system do you play online with?

    All apart from the DS

    How often do you buy games and roughly how much do you spend on them a month?

    It all depends on the month really, some months i dont get anything and then others i will get 4 or so games. So its between £0-120 i reckon Also my wow addiction kerbed my game buying for quite some time, but i think i might be done with it now, but i never say never with that damn game

    Really depends on releases, and whether you count online purchasing too, I have my WoW account, and also bought the orange box from steam this month. Last month I picked up Bioshock from Morrisons!

    On average, over a year i would probably buy about 6-8 games, at approx £25 each and then add on the WoW account. Round about £250-300 a year, so I guess about £20-25 a month...ish

    I could be more vague if it's of any help!

    I buy very few games these days, maybe 1 every 2 to 3 months. I love games but have little time for them, so I only buy games I know I'll enjoy and want to play. I also have a PS2 and a Wii but both have been left untouched for months on end, so didn't include them as I don't "use on a regular basis"!

    Buy a new game every 3-4 months. Would average out at about £10 a month.
