Not sure if that’s actually a word. Well, it is, but the spelling might be off. Before I bore you with semantics, let me get to the point. Gaming consoles are too expensive. The new PlayStation3 will retail for $400 (it costs $500 to make, but that’s another story). At this rate, consoles will be five times the price of a desktop computer within five years. Whatever happened to the good old days when a console was $150 brand new? Has inflation really gone up that much?
Back when I first got my computer, my argument for not getting a console was that I could play games on the computer, and do everything else too, so the price evened out. With console prices going up, and computer prices dropping ever lower, my argument just keeps looking better and better. I’m sure someone has a good excuse for owning both a console and a computer, but for someone on a budget like me, it just doesn’t make a lot of sense.
