2. No. Fucking. Way.
I've spent less than that on a car...I refuse to spend that much money on a game console that the kids are going to fight over.

No.

3. no doubt...
I usually wait til they hit around 200 or less...I waited three years before getting the ps2...and it looks like I'm going to do the same with the ps3...600 bucks, is ...damn, almost more than our house payment.

12. lol
I think my first car cost me $1800 and it was a Cadillac...granted it was 15 years old with 150,000 miles on it but a Cadillac none the less! I'll wait a year or two for the prices to come down substantially, there's nothing wrong with my current PS2

13. You'd think so,
but I heard last night that the Wii has issues with being sensitive to light. Won't work under flourescent or direct sunlight. That might cause a problem or two unless they've resolved it...but they're releasing the next Zelda for Wii, so...

:shrug:

10. I'm staying with my PS2 and Gamecube.
I saw the G4 Tech TV hype about the PS3 and Wii, and I'm not impressed.

14. I haven't actually seen any of the hype...
I tend to block it, but my kids, especially the boys, talk about it nonstop and eventually some of it penetrates...

If they think for one minute, though...nope.

Muahahahahahahahaha

for ten bucks in a few years.

17. I'll stick to my NES.
Been thinking about picking up an SNES as well, though.

21. SNES has this awesome game I've never seen anywhere else...
I can't remember what it's called, but you're a guy with a jet-pack. Basically, you have to "leap-frog" from target to target without crashing or without using all your fuel.

Endless fun; I'd buy a SNES just for that.

But I'm happy with my MAME emulator and Scramble.

22. That sounds really familiar, but I'm not sure either, haha.
SNES is worth having for Super Mario World alone though.

23. Actually, I'm hooked on Battlefield 2.
I'm even building a PC that's specifically designed to run the game at optimum performance.

24. Nice.
As far as newer PC games go, I was hooked on Far Cry, Doom3 and FEAR when they each came out. I'm not a huge gamer, but those were fun as hell.

26. I'm waiting a year or so for it to go down
I've got so many ps2 games I never finished, and stuff I don't mind replaying, a year without many new games won't be so bad.
