Insomniac's Brian Hastings speaks out on the PS3

Hus said: any one on minimum wage can affored a PS3, only bums cant.

I don't know what world you live in, but people on minimum wage cannot afford this system. US minimum wage is $5.15. I will use $8 in my calculations to be generous. $600/$8 = 75 hours of work to buy a PS3. I did not remove any taxes from the wage so this person must work more than two 40 hour work weeks just to purchase the system with no games. Do you think this same person has an HDTV in their 5000 square foot home on the beach?
