And there's nothing wrong with that.
Since I'm going to college, money isn't in abundant supply, and I like videogames. See the problem here? Yes, I have a job, but it's a crappy min-wage job and a $400 console is a little out of my budget.
You see, this is why I love planned obselitance. What was considered yesterday's hottest game is now today's coaster. That hot new game system you bought five years ago is now a $5 doorstop. At least that's how it is with the general public. But, a good game is still a good game. We, the shmuppers should know best of all (of course dropping $200 on Radiant Silvergun or a PCB is hardly bargin shopping). Cheap prices are a reason I love used game stores. Sure, the people who work there are pricks, but hey, they have to put up with alot of dumb fucks all day, so I understand. I know, because I used to work at a Circuit City. (Ok, it's not quite the same, but you get the idea).
So, I relish in the thought of finally being able to buy those PS2 games and systems at bargin prices! Sure CD-based hardware is a little finicky, and one good scuff on a CD or DVD means it's toast, but that's the price you pay.
Of course, there are those "must-have" games that have the annoying tendancy to become rare and keep their value, or worse go up in value. That's when I'll glady fork over $50 for a game I know will be hard to find once the hot consoles of today become tommorrow's doorstops.
) but the other 2 state of the art-systems waited a long time. I think I bought the cube in spring 2003 and the ps2 in fall 2004. I am nobody who buys only new stuff, except hardware. So I assume that I'm only a cheapass gamer in buying games
