http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/ ... ent-918697 Obviously that's more Yank-centric, but still, how much content are you buying? Personally, I buy online content about five times a year (if that), and it's only ever been the odd music track and a cheap PSN download... probably wouldn't even total £10

I've never thought that I spend a lot, but compared to that average it seems that I do! - About £20 a year on iPhone applications - £10 per month for Spotify - £10 per month on LoveFilm (which I use to watch movies online as well as physical DVDs) - Occasional downloads on Xbox Live (map packs etc) |

the odd game off Steam, if they are cheap or on sale. i dont usually spend more than £10 per game, and rarely more than 3 a month. |

I've been gifted stuff on Steam, but I very rarely buy on-line content for personal use. The odd piece of software, but probably nothing in the last 5 years. Buy plenty of stuff at work such as Logmein Rescue. Expensive, but I'm not paying for it and it's easier than the alternatives. I do spend a fortune on the Interwebs, but it's all physical stuff that gets delivered. The most expensive stuff is usually alcoholic. |

I think for this, it's best I ignore the medical apps. I bought the two extra map sets for COD:MW on PS3. iPhone: may be a total of £30-40 over the last year or so? Mostly game apps but I've also downloaded 5-6 books from Amazon. |

I probably spend a fair amount, £16/month on LoveFilm (disks only), the odd iPhone app, the odd Steam game, though I really wouldn't call any of that online content as it all gets downloaded and installed to a local disk of some sort.... |

MobileMe is around £60 per year. Flickr is about £16 a year. I've bought maybe a fiver's worth of choons from Apple in the past year. And, um, that's it. |

I spend almost nothing on online content. I think Coda / Pixelmator was the last thing I purchased. When it comes to music I very much prefer to have a physical disk in my hand, and I don't use much software. |

It's funny. I shop on the interwebs like girls shop in town. I save a fortune by spending loads of money on fantastic bargains for shiz I don't really need  The one thing that frustrates me is that I would buy music and video as downloads, but it's usually cheaper and safer to buy it on disk. Even downloaded games are often cheaper in the shops as a retail pack! |

Major household items I generally save a fortune buying on the web but I can't say I buy much content as such, software licences / updates but that's about it. I tend to buy music on CD and copy it to PC. |

Yeah, that's been me for years now , and the various industries have no idea how rich they'd actually be if they sorted out their online pricing I reckon...

A few Euros on iPhone and Windows Phone 7 apps. MobileMe, Carbonite, Audible, Evernote and a couple of other services. Audible is probably the only one that counts as "content" as opposed to service. |
