Thanks: Gave 497, Got 1,826 | How much have you spent on your Home Cinema setup?
How much have you spent on your Home Cinema setup? I.e. not everything you have ever spent on upgrading your home cinema over the years, but how much is your current home cinema is worth?

Quite a lot, but if we're talking RRP instead of what I actually paid then it would probably jump up nearly 50% again.  | |

I'm happy that the amount I spent is the range that most others spent too. At least I feel as if I'm not the only mad one!  | |

Let's just say I'm happy it doesn't include DVD's ....... I think I might cry if it did.

Pretty scary when I think that my amp, DVD and PJ alone equate to a nice deposit on a house. I must be mad.
Time for a new hobby?!?!?

I was going to click on the £2500 - £5000 option...but thought I had best add up just to make sure.
I can't believe that I am actually quite a way into the next price bracket

Another one i'd be interested in -
income : sytem price ratio.
Quite often I sit back and think "why am I doing this? why did I buy that knowing I would be hard up approaching next pay day???"
Does anybody else experience this? Or have I developed a serious problem?  | |
