how exactly does buying things at different times "solve" anything ?

Do you justify paying 30,000 for a car or make payments monthly, it justifies spending more money when spread over long term...what was it you said, forgive me if i misquote you, 1st grade stuff? 

Personally as a company car driver I factor in monthly costs, list price and CO2 emissions then visit the Tax man to figure out the damage. A lot of people take note of the complete cost others do not. The whole idea of the casual purchase is it should be cheap enough so nobody spends to long thinking about it. Why people bring in expensive items like cars into these types of discussions is beyond me because it clearly is a more complex decision process.

People have different budgets, theres no such thing as a sure fire impulse buy, everyone different. I know people who could buy a 30,000 car i know people who could drop $150 for kinect...i cant do either, so regardless it doesnt apply to all people.

The fact of th ematter and th epoint i was trying to make, for everything we want we can budget, base don all th eentry costs associated with these machines theres no impulse buy, people that want it will save monethly or buy it in pieces rather than all up front and people that dont want it simply wont If someone doesnt fit into that category then they arent really important in the discussion of affordability. The price of Kinect and Move is irrelavent.

I just get so sick of seeing these trivial justifications it started with Sony as the better bang, MSFT costs added up to yadayadayada, it didnt matter, the 360 destroyed th ePS3 in sales. Why? Because it gave people a great experience, it had momentum and it had better marketing. Now with this discussion Sony entry price is cheaper but to flesh it out its cheaper to get kinect....will it matter? No, because Sony has the momentum, Sony has better marketing and because to be honest, the move is a footnote regardless of how much Sony wishes it werent.
