Question how much have you spent on a single game release

Including press kits and promo items and pre order bonus and figure and statues and merchandize and DLC and anything directly tied to a specific game such as "The Last Of Us" or BioShock infinite
So a single game release not the entire franchise

Just wondering as I added up my price list for an upcoming game and I was shocked at the amount of money it adds upto

A terribly high amount that if I ever calculated would probably dissuade me from collecting for a while

lol the problem I have is I don't focus buy as much as I'd like

Even with Fallout, one of my favorite franchises I'm just starting to get at the mid-level stuff

I dunno actually, I'm in the middle of re-doing my collection spreadsheet, so I'll know for certain soon, but I expect somewhere in the region of ?500-600 max for a single game release. I could be wrong though xx

If I was honest I'm not sure it would break 400 - 500 USD

I'm fairly cheap when it comes down to it

Bioshock Infinite alone kicked my ass. I got a couple of the oversize cook&becker prints, the songbird edition, both vigor bottles, a bunch of posters (including a few signed pieces), the signed litho trio set, and of course Booker's box press kit. I'm sure there's probably other stuff that i picked up related to Infinite that I'm forgetting. I really don't want to think about how much it all adds up to, lol.

I haven't worked it out exactly, but I expect a few hundred.

I think the most I've spent on is Dark Souls, bought:

2x US Collectors editions
Press kit
A Dark Souls notepad
1x UK PTDE (standard)
2x UK PTDE (Zavvi steelbook)
Few other non official merchandise
