62. "But very few DVDs even come with booklets" In response to Reply # 43 Thu Dec-29-05 04:18 PM by Lach
Most come with little leaflets that say nothing. You don't necessarily have to save them to your hard drive forever. Copy, burn, delete complete with all menus and commentary. You can't tell the difference from the real disk. Play them on any DVD player you have. Not just your computer.
What the fuck I look like dropping $500 on a XBox 360 and backdooring that by copping a PS3 for $600 a few months later?
Sure...
I have all of the past generation systems (PS2, XBox, Cube), BUT I bought them all well after the release and USED/homeboy hookup. That's probably what will happen with the PS3 unless the 360 bores me by then. But hell...I barely have time to play the joints I have now.
Where is a vs Record stat when you need it (btw...I don't remember any lopsided records as it pertains to us...I know I put up some kind of 13-14-or-15 game winning streak during our OKP season..I was USC'in my way up on wins with the soon-to-be depleted Raiders).
If Madden 360 wasn't such a stripped and somewhat broken down mess on all-pro online (even the 2k DBs laugh at the sad corner tactics on Madden 360), I'd show up online and get at you on that!
As for now, I'm enjoying an Association with the Pacers on NBA 2k6 until DOA4 FINALLY drops.

34. "You know? You struck a cord with these cats lmao!!!" In response to Reply # 30
I'm reading the responses rolling my ass off. I mean:
1) You have cats on Okayplayer seemingly 24/7 saying they don't have time for video games. 2) You have cats spending hundreds/thousands on different gadgets and equipment (posting about it all the time), but say they're too broke to buy game systems. 3) You have cats who can seemingly tell you how to build a computer from scratch, but then have bogus jobs that don't pay any money. 4) You have the legitimate broke college student - I understand their pleas, cuz I've been there. So there's no argument with them.
But the replies in general are comic knowing what you see from folk on these boards on a daily basis. They mad at you man. lmao
But me, I work from home half the time and work from the office the other half. I have a wife and little children. So of course, I'll spend a lot of winter time at home and may play some games. I'm not going to necessarily be out a lot.
40. "I understand what you're saying" In response to Reply # 30
I have or had damn near everything (copped 360, PSP, and a DS this year alone)...it's just most folks don't have the money or don't put games as that high of a priority.
39. "I got both Xbox and PS2" In response to Reply # 0
And they get equal burn
It all depends. Im in college but i save my money only to spend on stupid stuff like clothes and games, only after i get the stuff i need taken care of (books for school n all dat.)
I don't know if i can do both with the 360 and PS3. Thats about a G in expenses. Thats when you GOTTA prioritize your finances. I got a breaking point; I'm not spending 400 bucks let alone a G on video games only. Thats why im patiently waiting for price cuts. Its gonna be hard since XBL on regular xbox died and 360 killed it.
however once I graduate, it will be a diff story. The problem is that I doubt I will have the time to play games like I do now. Its quite the dilemma, once you get the money, you dont have the time.....

i barely got time to play the games i have...plus, for me it's a waste of money...i'm suppossed to spend $500+ on some "pastime paradise" shit?? no thanks...i got better places for my loot to go (and grow)...i was thinking bout a Cube butbuying another system is a waste of my money right now...i understand if another person feels like droppin that loot for 2+ systems, but you should equally be understand what other people might not...

Enjoying my XBox360 on my vacation days in solitude with my wife >>>>>> My ING Account that woulda only gained an extra $3-$5 in interest this month had I put my regular $500 in it instead of buying my 360.

----------- At the very least, one can agree that having the people who have victimized you quantify your mistreatment invokes a sizable conflict of interest.

68. "Videgame systems is a luxury item" In response to Reply # 65
I don't need them in my life, they don't help me accomplish anything, they're not investments since they depreciate and thats about it. I'm typing all this as in another window I'm about to buy a $600 set of irons, so you can see the glass house is shiny.
69. "Was it necessarily dumb?" In response to Reply # 61 Thu Dec-29-05 04:53 PM by Lach
He posted a question to a bunch of cats who normally talk all this shit about video games, computers, and other electronics but then notices that a lot of the people who talk all this stuff about them all the time never have the funds to get them. So he asked why don't cats get both? And then asked if people have a problem saving money (or bad with money in a sort of way), and now he's dumb for that? That's kinda fucked up. Yeah, maybe some people don't have video games as a priority. I mean, it's not my priority. It's a hobby. My household needs/wants and savings come first. But if I'm going to post all day about video games and then not buy the systems, Planet has a legitimate question. It may seem harsh to those who can't afford shit, but was it wrong?
74. "this is why I backed out of this post" In response to Reply # 69
I just read and laugh. Its an obvious income difference here. Some save, some take from savings or ING accounts while others just reach in thier pockets without thinking about it. You and I have done the college thing and moved onto careers where buying consoles doesn't hurt as much as it would to the avg college cat or upcoming struggling artist. I really can't complain, wifey makes more than me and will agree to anything I buy that keeps me at home. We're by no means on some JD and Jay "Money Aint A Thang" shit, but 5 bills spent on something I REALLY WANT I aint sweating.
85. "My uses the games to keep me in too" In response to Reply # 74
It's a conspiracy. And even if she does let me out, she gotta be all up on me. Sitting at the games... not with the fellas, but with my wife dancing on the damn dance cam. And she won last year. lol
but it did kinda imply niggas witout a couple systems are broke, which isn't cool..then all this arguin about "where's yo money going? do you even HAVE any?" kinda shit got outta hand...
i chimed in cause i felt like he was saying if don't have two systems then you must be broke...i know many cats wit multiple systems and can't pay bills...talkin bout coppin Dragon Quest and barley got a roof.....i think you should do whatever makes you happy and don't hurt anybody else, but don't start crying if it don't work out or you simply can't do what the next man does...

but i still wouldn't spend over a grand on both systems. especially with a new computer that can perform as well as the 360. ps3 might be a little more desirable because of the hd dvd feature, but neither are worth 5 bills imo.
