That whole dining analogy has failed from day one.

Good food doesn't have a $300.00 price tag on it. Fancy food at some reservation only 5 star coat and tie swanky restaurant doesn't taste any better than your standard restaurant. Hell, I can cook stuff in my own kitchen that tastes just as good.

You must be a talented chef. The talentless unimaginative people that are terrible at cooking are forced to pay $300 for a great meal or eat vegemite sandwiches.

Or try a regular restaurant.  That would be the Wii financial equivelant for this asinine analogy of which noname and I stated can serve up food just as tastey.

 

People go to the $100 per plate black tie affairs not for the food but to see and be seen.  It's a social spectacle.   Do you have a PS3 just because you want others to see how financially well off you are?

 

Yes, that is exactly the problem. And when it turns out that everyone is down the street at a Mom and Pop restaurant, it makes the people wanting to be seen very sad.
