I'm in University and have a good amount of debt, I rent, pay for my tuition, buy all my own food and still managed to pick up a 360, a wii, and if it had the right games I'd buy a PS3 as well. I just happen to be really good at making budgets. I'm sitting a lot better than most of my friends who don't buy near as much gaming stuff that I buy. The trick is to not spend so much on food and clothes. All my friends spend tonnes of money on food and clothes. I buy cheap food and rarely eat out. I also wear all the clothes I have and rarely have to buy more. It's really not that expensive to buy these things. Considering if I didn't have a 360 I'd probably spend a whole lot more money on going to the movies or renting movies or eating out. But instead my girlfriend and I just play video games together instead of going out and spending.
I also bought Rock Band. It's totally worth it's price tag.
