Not a huge amount although I bought a PS3 just to play GT5.
I have spent far more on Sim Racing in general though:
G25 (Now sold)
DFGT (Now Spare)
T500RS
Clubsport pedals (Use with my T500 for PC sims)
Subscribed to iRacing in 2008 and not due to run out till 2013
Tons of iRacing content (all road and some oval)
GTR
GTR 2
GT Legends
rFactor
RFactor 2
Race 07/GTR Evolution/Race On + all add on packs.
NFS Shift 2 (waste of money)
Live for speed
XBox 360 with Microsoft Racing Wheel (Waste of Money now sold)
Forza 2 (sold)
Forza 3 (sold)
New HDD for 360 (Microsoft rip off now sold)
pCars for PC
2 PC's
Various PC GPU upgrades
Triple screens for PC
Various older games such as GT4, 3, 2 ,1 etc. + consoles
There's probably much more that I have forgotten.

I got GT5 for free in a contest (even got it 4 days early) and bought 2 DLC's, so I've spent maybe $9.00

GT5 $60
Logitech DFGT $125
Playseat Rookie $320
Should've looked into a more comfortable seat.
DLC $40
Didn't include this but my new 320 GB PS3 since I was running out of space and wanted to keep playing GT5 but it was taking up almost all of my old PS3s space. -$300

Well based only on the votes, the average person here has spent $782.84 USD or $729.46 AUD or 491.57 GBP or 587.16 EUR.
*Looks back at original post amount* Oh damn! Only $723 USD! Just below the average, oh well, I'm sure I'll spent money on a giant TV in the next couple of months, and that'll more than make up for the difference. Then I'll need a stand for wheel. Then I'll need a new seat, since my desk chair will be too high. Could be much more than average.
That was based on total votes, using an average of the two values of each segment multiplied by their vote count, then totalled and divided by the total voter amount - Now I'm going to see if I can use 'real' numbers (less people, but more accurate).
WOW You're going to be surprised how close the poll numbers were to the 'actual values'.
Based on 25 people who posted their final values, when I converted them all to USD it added up to $19947.5 !! Divide that by 25 people = $797.9, so the poll was only off by a meager $15.06! Not bad at all (I'm counting up to the guy below me who spent $150).

Pretty much the same as most. But I lurked on craigslist until I found a dfgt for 80 or 90,I forget. Already had the full hd tv, and I bought and likely will buy all dlc.

Well, I ONLY bought a PS3 for GT (BUT argued to my wife it dueled as a Blueray/DVD player). -- All in USD
$300 PS3
$30 GT5P - to bide time
$60 GT5 - Release Date
$125 DFGT - Christmas Gift my wife got me, but I am the only income (man I love her)
$35 DLC - I bought every one and the DLC1 Paints 2x
$30 Logitic Precision Controller - more comfortable for DS3 GT5 use IMO
$60 1 USB stick, a Flash Card and a Card Reader
that about covers it other than the TV was bought for GT4 to play the game in HD (Yes, if you bought a "Component Cable I/O" for your PS2 you were able to play GT4 in 1080i) So of course this doesnt count the PS1, the controllers and game for the PS1 (yes GT1 is why I have owned PlayStations), GT1, GT2, Memory Cards, my PS2, Memory Cards, a Logitec controller, GT3, GT4, Component I/O Monster Cable, My TV.... Wow... I am way too hooked in this game
Oh, and not to mention (yes I will blame it on GT) I have had to upgrade my Mustang several times. First off (yes I even thought this when I did it) I made my Mustang "Standard" by tinting the windows... I needed new rims, a tuner, an intake, a muffler... And yes I was thinking "Intake -> Sports Filter", "Exhaust -> Sports Muffler", "Engine -> Computer", "GT Auto -> New Rims..." and there goes another $3k on a conservative level...
BUT I will only claim the $640 I did earlier (though I should claim at least half of the other too... )

Heres mine in USD:

PS3 = 218 pound sterling
GT5 = 15 pound sterling
DFGT = 75 pound sterling
DFGT Stand = 30 pound sterling
Didnt include the tv cost as i bought that before the ps3.
so altogether 338 pound sterling or 539 american stinking dollars
Thinking about getting another DFGT stand though which is a 100 quid so this total could change.

Zamado75FFS! Do you have no self-control?
That's a ludicrous amount of money to spend, theoretically, on a game.
Well, since i got the PS3, Home Theater set and the TV for X-Mass and my B-Day, you can see that i haven't paid so much really. And i have a little job which makes good money to spend on this stuff...
Different people, different wishes, different budgets. Thats all i say. (:
G27
Built my own rig with an old Fiero seat and cheap metal tubing (less then 50 dollars invested, and VERY solid with a fully adjustable seat)
Game itself and all DLC
Probably doesn't put me over the $500 mark, but there was plenty spent so I could properly experience GT when it was released.
I've recently been using my wheel for Iracing and plan on getting Rfactor2. So while GT is what made me decide to get a wheel, I still plan on using it for many other racing Sims and maybe some arcade racers if I find any good ones that are fun with a wheel.
