thanks kytiara :) Crazzyman, look at this example of mine, I live in the third world... Mexico to be exact, i dont work full time because im studying a master degree, but i have an income and live on a budget, The PS3 sells for 1000 dollars or more here in Mexico, and the wii for like 350 dollars... I was really lucky to be one of the 40 people that got a Wii at McAllen Texas' circuit city ( i went on a road trip just to get the wii, me and my other 5 friends) being in line for 7 or so hours, I spent 600 dollaras + taxes on everything I got for it, $250 game console, $200 for 4 games (5 if we count wii sports, zelda, call of duty, marvel ultimate alliance and Dragon Ball Z budokai tenkaichi 2) , $30 for a travel bag, $120 for two extra wiimotes and nunchuks... If I anted to get comparable things for the Ps3, it would have been 600 for the console, 300 for 5 games, 100 for two extra controllers, and $30 for a travel bag ( i dont know how much those rfun for so i gave it the same price even though it would use a lot more fabric hehe) thats $1030 dollars plus taxes and there even ere not 5 games at Ps3 launch that i would get. For the money I spent on my wii i would have gotten a very sad ps3 with no games... And dont get me wrong, I love good graphics but I think that with really good artistic direction like Zelda twilight princess and Resident Evil 4, Gamecube games are really impressive. and I'm fine with it. I have a HDTV set which is by no means a standard in my country, but i really see no necessity to buy a blu ray player since all my movie collection is in DVD... I dont plan on upgrading it either... I guess you could all say that I have a lifestyle closer to that of the United States, and you might be right but truth is i worked really hard and have a life without many luxuries to be able to buy my videogames... I remember the old snes and N64 days when i had not many games, now i have 20 plus for gamecube and 8 for wii... Money is really less an issue than it was before for dedicated gamers, but I still think that 600 dollars for the PS3 and 60 dollars per game is very expensive and despite the fact that PS3 games are really not for me, I would have a hard time getting to buy it if I was a Sony gamer... I dont think I'd buy it until the prince dropped to at least 350 dollars... Xbox is doing really great in Mexico, since its been introduced officially, priced competitively and having both perfect Dark and Project Gotham Racing as a pack in...
