Sadly, the PS3 might herald the end of Sony's dominance in the ring. I mean, a price hike is one thing, but this huge? People can't buy what they can't afford.
Even if you can afford it, I can think of a lot more important things to drop $500 or $600 on. Like maybe, Rent/mortgage. Car Insurance and Payments. Food for a few months. A night on the town. Skaw fucked around with this message on 09-20-2006 at 11:48 PM.

If you are worried about those things, you can't afford the PS3.
Seriously. Afford = you can buy it without having to worry about your future finances being fucked over.
On another note -- the idea of microtransactions isn't a bad one -- IMO, it is used well in Morrowind. This GTHD thing is entirely too excessive, though. Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 09-20-2006 at 11:54 PM.

Not necessarily. I'd rather have the cushin then blow it on a PS3. If I were substantially in the green, then I'd consider it. But half a grand on a console with nothing bundled free(like, say, an HDMI cable lols,) then up to $80 on games that are mostly going to be available on the 360 is still considerably unappealing.

Oblivions are a tad excessive... $2.00 for horse armor? The things are all ready fucking tanks. And you can heal them. Skaw fucked around with this message on 09-20-2006 at 11:57 PM.
p.s.: you get the equivalent of this for that price too. Nina fucked around with this message on 09-20-2006 at 11:59 PM.

that'll last 4-5 years
Yeah, fuck that. Systems don't last 4-5 years anymore.
In 8 months of owning a 360, I've had it die twice. In a one-month span. I'm not too particularly trusting of next-gen systems to work properly for more than a year. They're stuffing all sorts of major hardware in a small case.

Sucks to be you. Mine's running strong.
Buy your fucking replacement plan, not warranty, on all expensive hardware. You're a dumbass if you don't.
It's not something people hear about.

Yeah, I've learned my lesson about getting the system from a friend without the ability to get a replacement plan.
I'm tossing around the idea of just selling off my repaired system when i get it back and just buying a new 360 from best buy with a replacement plan. Probably a good idea in the long run. It took 7 months to die on me, then Microsoft sent me a shitty replacement. Ah well. Lesson Learned. Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 09-21-2006 at 12:33 AM.

Make sure you get your money back if you paid for the replacement for a system before 1/1/2006. At least they admitted that their first run had issues too.

Thing with them is, though, they're not something that is required to fully play the game. They're nice stuff, sure, but they aren't needed. Whereas cars in GT are a necessity.
And some of Oblivions were much nicer -- the new buildings, stuff like that. They are a nice idea if used right, but the PS3 is indeed abusing them.
And if you like to have a cushion, then you, in your mind, aren't financially sound by buying the PS3. Therefore, not affordable for you. Someone in your exact situation, however, may be able to afford it. It just depends on what you want to do with your money and how much you like to have saved.
