I think I bought exactly 2 games in my whole life.
At least now I have the comfort that other people won't have it that good either.
You are a sad person. And I am sorry to hear about your terrible ailment that prevents you from earning money and paying for the games you enjoy so much.
I'm not here to complain, it is simply my situation.
Good day to you, sir.


EDIT: You misunderstand, I have more than enough money! I simply cannot pay at all from this location.

@Ganelon

I don't even know where to begin. Let me ask you a simple question, and please answer it with yes or no. Do you believe that the right to own property is a fundamental human right?

It appears Vernor v. Autodesk ended up in favor of AutoDesk in the end, the Supreme Court declined Vernor's request for an appeal, and that Sony will legally get away with this in the US.
Well, your consumer rights may be eroding in corporate-run USA (remember first-sale doctrine and class action suits? Or when companies couldn't patent life or software? Those were the days), but at least you have the right to bear arms. That's pretty awesome right there and surely makes up for everything else.

Now I'm intrigued. Is your location a maximum security prison? Or North Korea?

No, EVEN WORSE.(joke)

I can indeed buy things using cash (which I have enough of), but the stock of....pretty much everything here is either 10 to 30 years old or nonexistent.
That includes new consoles.
I also cannot purchase anything online, credit cards are extremely expensive here so only one member of my family has one, and it can't even be used outside of this country (including the internet!).

Lol, of course not. No such thing as human rights, just ask the Afghans. Sahela bought a Disney DVD after the ad said "Lady and the Tramp, yours to own forever." Then he went shopping and came back to find his entire block had been levelled by an Apache gunship.

No more Disney DVD.

It depends on the people. Good thing I didn't meet any so far.

The funny thing is that it assumes that Americans are so excited for fast food that they will literally jump out of their seat to shout "McDonald's!" even if they are completely alone and by themselves.

For some reason it reminded me of the Fast Food song by the Fast Food Rockers.

I haven't purchased any downloadable game no matter how much I want to play some games and I haven't caved in because I don't like the terms. There's no way I will let greedy bastards have me by the balls with any draconian DRM. Put the games on a disc and let me do whatever I want with them or GTFO. There's so many games out there to collect that I don't give a fuck what they do. I'll just spend all my cash on old games.

Same here. I figure there are so many games out there, as well as other things that interest me, that I can afford to completely avoid on-line gaming altogether and paying for bullshit downloads, DLC, DRM, and anything else they decide to shank their customers with 8)

I think there should be an option to burn downloaded games that you've bought onto Blu-ray/DVD or HDD via PC. That way, you can keep the discs as backup to avoid an eternal redownloading session if your PS3/PS4 tanks.
Kinect? KIN NOT.
