I read in a thread about someone who has played 10 to 15 hours a day and I was shocked! :eek I've never played more than three hours! My question is, if that is usual or an exception. Therefore, it would really interest me how much time do you spend for gaming per day, week, etc.

More than 30 hours a week, if I'm not busy, I guess on average 4 hours a day on weekdays and a bit more in weekends.

My ps3 is logged in 5 days a week, i use it to download alot of films and stuff.
I usually play games for 2 hours maybe more if im playing with a few friends so my average over a week is 10-15 hours of gaming! i have all the time in the world to play but i do get bored easily.. my wipeout playing time is 93 hours:twisted
10-15 hours of pure gaming a day is a bit extreme lol

Phew... I'm relieved. That's more than I'm playing, but you aren't such freaks as I had thought at first moment. :g

At home, maybe 3-4 hours a day. Now that I'm at school, absolutely none.

It depends.
If I have a new game that I get into I can quite easily play it 8-10 hours none stop, like Majin & the Forsaken Kingdom, I did that for 2.5 days straight last week and Platinumed the game.
I'll probably do the same with Assassin's Creed 2 which I picked up 2nd hand on my days off.
I did many extraordinarily longer sessions[15-20 hours :redface: ] when HD first came out, just to get up to speed with the tracks as I have never played online via the PSP versions, so the tracks were basically all new to me.

Other times I can't be bothered even playing a game if I turn my PS3 on and find I have a heap of messages that need to be answered.

I am by nature a bit of a completest, I like to see that Platinum trophy sitting next to a title, so games like FFXIII will get many long sessions till completed.
Although I have a few games that need those pesky replays on extreme difficulty that I just can't bring myself to load up even though I could do it.
Nothing worse than a game that Makes you replay it multiple times to get Platinum [The first Uncharted as a case in point], you should want to play it, not forced to, it's boringly repetitive otherwise.
I sort of take offense to that practice, it seems like a cheap shot at the gamer by the developer.

I usually play around 2-3 hours each evening and maybe 5-8 hours a day at the weekends, so probably 25-35 hours a week. To be honest I'd play more if I could. :redface:

Anywhere from 0 to 24 hours per day... (Avalon :P)

I'm on around 6/8 hours a week at the moment but during the holidays when I'm at home it's more like 30/week...unless I get something new and my parents aren't home in which case it's somewhere in the region of 50 at times :eek
Mostly MW2 and Dead Nation followed by WOHD at present. Just got a new laptop so I'm starting on Amnesia as well :)

All in all, too much.

I spend my time gaming almost everyday, regardless of weeks, days and months... :redface:

As much as humanly possible! Steam is nice enough to keep track of how much I've played each game, and apparantly I have passed 1600 hours on Eve Online since April last year. (about 70 24h days:eek).
Throw in WipEout, Bad Company 2 and Blood Bowl and you can probably conclude that I need therapy.:D

Still searching for a job, so for now, it might be something around 30 hours a week. Depends. Some days I donĀ“t play, on others I play eight hours. I realize that i more and more play always the same titles instead of this and that btw.

My maximum is about 4 hours per day, mostly on rainy weekends or when I'm sick enough to not go to work, but healthy enough to play WO. ;)
But usually I have less time to race, which is kind of unfortunate.

Oh yes. I frequently fall asleep with food on my lap. While gaming:)

Haha, you're all hardcore! :D
I play probably 4 hours or less per week at the moment (that's total, not just Wipeout games), though I did play games a lot more when I was younger (and once did a 15 hour Wipeout Pulse session, in 2009).

Wow, I just checked this out and it looks amazing!!! It's only a download release?

EDIT: Think I'll pick it up on Steam next time I've got some game funds, looks like Dead Space 2 is gonna have to wait, thanks for the heads up!!! :D
