Use to be easy for me to get brainwashed into buying the next big game or console, but recently, I've gotten better about breaking from the Matrix so-to-speak. Maybe part of it's because I have had less money to spend lately, but I've been better about backing up and looking critically at games and console and making sure It'd really be worth it. I very very rarely buy games at full price anymore, and this actually marks the first time since the N64 that I haven't bought a Nintendo console at launch. Basically I've realized, if a developer wants me to spend $60 on a video game, they'd better make sure it's top notch, and that I'll be playing it for months to come.
