I believe he's serious. He replied to my post on a separate thread with this argument. I'm not the primary user of the PS3 (it's already updated when I use it) so I don't know the details of the time differences, but if it's 2-5 hours a year, that isn't a big deal. People often value money over time, and rarely think into things like opportunity cost. Lump patch time with hidden costs, if you must, as I've rarely heard complaints about it. Anyway, what Xen said will usually take care of the problem. Also, plenty of kids (no salary) use HD consoles. Take it as an easy way for putting the kids to work! |
Oh I know there is inklings of truth in his post, Squil rarely post pure frabrication, even when he is attempting to be humorous.
His usually approach is to start with a valid argument, then bend it until it becomes absurd enough to be unbelievable to most people with common sense (that's the hook my man!)
I respect him enough to believe that he knows that this valid argument is only for a very very minor subtype and that for the vast majority of consumers this is not the case.
