I'll agree that if you have kids, you'll find yourself with considerably less disposable income. Most parents however buy their kids bunch of useless toys, games, etc all the time at the expense of their own entertainment. If you postponed that furby and barbie house for a couple of months and bought a few crayons and a stack of paper in the meantime you'd already be much closer to buying a ps3. I mean you're only buying 1-3 consoles every 5 years, I'm not telling you to quit buying presents for your children. However better planning would afford you to save 399 on a ps3 by the same logic that you can spend 500+ a year on your childs (non educational) junk.
Also, people don't always go for the cheapest electronics. Look at the ipod. It's probably one the most if not the most expense mp3 player on the market...and the best selling one. Same with the iphone. Price isn't the sole determinant of uptake.
Even if you're making minimum wage and picking up checks from the government you should be making over 15 grand a year. Save up 30 bucks a month (8 dollars a week) and you have your ps3 in one years time. Which would be by last Christmas, instead of complaining in late 2008. Heck, even a young, unemployed teen gets more than 8 dollars a week in allowance,
