Haven't calculated my iTunes spendings since the first page of this thread, which was about 7 months ago.

Since 10/21/11, I've spent another $416.15.

Total since 01/21/09 (first purchase): $2143.38
Per year: About $650.
That's $53.92 per month for the past 40 months.

That total is nothing compared to what Sanuku spends though, heh. I've definitely been spending less and less since the peak period (late 2010/early 2011). Started doing contests last Fall too, so quite a bit of my spendings from the past half year were credits I won or gifts from Christmas. To put it into perspective, I'd say somewhere between $50-$100 of the $416.15 from the past 7 months were out of my own pockets.

However, I got a 360 last December and already have a library of 15 games (ME3, Skyrim, MW3, etc)..

Don't think there will ever be another month like September/December 2010 ($146.62, $134.86). That's probably what Sanuku spends monthly on iOS games though..when there aren't too many games coming out.

I've averaged $25 per month, so about $300 per year. I'm seeing myself type this right now and thinking - wow, really?

[Xapped]

2009: $100 or so
2010: $80 or so
2011 (so far): About $50

I've spent less and less each year, mostly because of the decline in free time. When I have a couple of minutes to kill, I typically just read something in Safari instead of playing $0.99 endless runners. My purchases this year have being 'hardcore' games like MC3, cod zombies..

2008: $173.45
2009: $558.76
2010: $254.87
2011: $110.34

Total: $1,097.42

In your account settings in iTunes there's a "Purchase history" that you can go through and add up the totals. Or if you get emails from iTunes for each purchase receipt, then you can go through those too.

But Backtothis probably keeps a running total as he goes so it's not as hard to keep track of it. I had to manually go through all mine to find out since I haven't been keeping track.

Yeah, I've been keeping track since a year ago. All I have to do is calculate from where I left off. I do it once a month to see how my spending habits have changed, if at all.

I've only had my iPhone since July.

July 2011 - December 2011 = 6 months = Around 120 euro.
