My top 3

1. The Wii
2. $60 games
3. Expensive accesories

I like this list.

You know $60 games is more or less the same price games cost back for the NES adjusted for inflation. I swear people need to give that a rest. Back in 1985, when the NES came out, was $200 and adjusted for inflation today that would be about $400. Games, if I remember correctly, were $40 then, and now that would be about $80 AND we get SOOOOOO much more game these days. So suck it up and dish out the $60.

I'm only 18.

And? You can get a job at 18.

I work part time at my local CubsFood.

I don't want to be mean, but 'I don't have money for games' is not really an excuse.  Gaming is a hobby, not a lifestyle or a right.  Just because we're use to playing games doesn't mean we can complain when we don't get our own way (aka the game we want is expensive).  And frankly, I've been using my own money to buy all my own games since I was pretty much I was in High School.  That means ever since the GameCube and PS2 came out (which I bought both with my own money that I earned myself), I bought every game I own with my own money.

In some ways, I completely agree.  Games shouldn't be going up in price.  But using the excuse 'I have no money for games' is just not a good excuse.
