When I'm lucky, I get to game for an hour a day. This probably occurs twice a week. Usually, I game for less than 15 minutes a day.
This past week I somehow found some freetime however and probably spent a total of 16-20 hours playing games. I'm much, much further in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and Star Wars: KOTOR because of it :D

When I was in college (ah, the glory days), I played 3 or 4 hours a day. Now I'm lucky to play an hour every other day or so, unless a game comes out that I make time to play like Katamari Damacy.

Usually no more than 3 hours, and that's on a good day. 50-hour RPG's sure take long going in 3 hour increments. That's why I don't mind short games. :)
We've discussed this already over here:

Interestingly, I had responded 1-3 hours per week though this summer I was up to almost an hour a day. Now that I have a baby I'm lucky if I get an hour a week, and I never get a whole hour in a row.

Well, I play more when I'm trying to beat an RPG. With them it's usually 3 hours a day. Besides them it's around 45 minutes to an hour and a half.

Anywhere from 2-6 hours and sometimes all day if I have nothing better to do. I'm fortunate enough to have a lot of free time now so I'm trying to take advantage of it before it goes away.

in total about 2 and half hours. around 6 i'll fire up the xbox/gc/ps2 and play my latest game off and on til bedtime. i go in spurts between making dinner, TV and childcare. not until after 11pm do i log any real solid time. i keep my pre-genesis systems hooked up to a monitor on a second shelf near floor level, sometimes during the day i'll have a quick game of something on the vectrex or 5200 with my 2 year old.

When I was unemployed - 4-6 hours/ day.
Now that I have a job and still live with my parents, I play about 2.5-3 hours a day.
When I play MMOs like FFXI, that number skyrockets, however, I can't stay up like that anymore.
During the school week, I get to play an hour to two hours a day(except for Wednesday. Me a few friends play Gamecube from after school 'till about 3 in the morning). During the weekend, it depends if I'm working on an RPG at the time. If I am, it can be 5-6 hours. Otherwise, 2-4.

Anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hours every day. I usually play more on fridays. On weekends... well, no game time. :) That's what happens when you have a family. ;)

Usually less than an hour a day, since I've been quite busy lately. (I just worked on one paper for three hours!) x_x

Depends on my schedule with college, work, gf, etc. I normally game for 30 minutes a night on weekdays and maybe 5 hours a day on weekends

I try to find at least an hour a day to play. I work in a games shop so I tend to play quite a bit there although I can't really get into the games - I have to keep at least one eye on the customers!

its my job to play games all day everyday (except for lunch breaks). Realistically this translates to around 5 hours a day, most days.

Before world of warcraft, 1-2 hours a week. After world of warcraft, 8+ hours a day.

At the moment I don't play that much videogames, maybe half an hour a day. At weekends it's more of course. I'd like to play more but I have too much other stuff going on (like work).
I get up at 6am and play until 9:30am every day. I also play almost every evening for about 4 hours.
I'm a cyclist, so in the nicer seasons I spend free time riding. The winter here in Ontario is made for gaming.
