Similar to the
TTL Homework assignment, I wondered exactly how much money has been spent on Halo (both mine, and my parents') since I first picked up the XBox the Christmas it came out.
Brace yourself.

This was not as bad as I imagined, but still, erk. And to think it probably won't end here.

I'd say that my habit has been closer to 1k. That's not including the upgraded computer I built for Halo PC (mostly) which would have added a neat 2.3k
I didn't own an original xbox (constantly went to LAN's etc. instead)
quick list, without prices
Halo
Halo 2 CE
Halo PC
Halo 3 Legendary
Tournaments (probably spend 50 buck or so on entry fees)
Mylar
Poster
Lots of Game fuel ; )
Plan to get a model MD6, Couple more posters, and a custom paint job on my computer case (1.8k+)
Perhaps more important is the time I've lost thanks to the series. Halo 1 xbox, I've probably spent around 600 hours. Halo 2, around 400. Halo PC, around 500. And Halo 3 will, with it's much greater replay value, probably around 500 too.
God, what have you done to me Bungie?
Urm... you haven't listed your XBox 360.
I'm a cheap ass gamer. I try to buy used or discount whenever I can, but I've still spent well over $1k and am sure to spend much more.
Anon: Woah, missed that! Added in my $100 360 with the $80 hard drive I bought a day later :)
How much is $1 in Singapore Dollars in your currency?
I estimate mine to be S$870.
XBOX360(bundle with 2 wireless controllers + DoA 4) - S$699
Halo 2 XBOX - $50
Halo PC - $50
Halo Master Chief Figurine - $35
Halo 2 Master Chief Figurine - $35
Not too much :)
Somewhere between four thousand and six thousand dollars. I was really into the action figures, which I won't break down, but I have a lot of stuff - computers, Xboxes, Vista - which I got just for Halo. You know, suddenly, I'm realizing that the games are the least important part.
I am going to do this, I'll shoot for publishing on Monday am. Honestly, I am terrified to see my results. EEK!
I think you forgot the Map pack (or packs - I shoulda kept track of those).
Just thought I'd be a jackass and raise your total a little more.
Do I get to count the three times I've gone to Los Angeles and the three times to HBO Head Quarters and the one time to Miguel's in NYC? That, by itself, cost more than four 360 Elites.
How about Mr. Errera?
All his bandwidth, hardware and time? Hmmmmmmmmmm....
I never got an Xbox, and I live in England, so my prices are in pounds. Sorry!
Xbox 360: £270
Halo 1: £5 (got it this year)
Halo 2: £10 (got it last year)
Halo 3 Legendary Edition: £70
Halo Strategy Guide: £5
Halo 2 Strategy Guide: £20
Halo 3 Strategy Guide: £20
Halo 3 Zune: £200 (eBay)
Halo 2 Action Figures: £200 approx. maybe more.
Total=approx. £800
+ Halo 3 Action figures, ActionClix, Trading Cards and Halo: Uprising=
£400 (maybe)
Revised Total= £1200
Holy shit! Never knew it wold be that much.
