I'm in a pinch, and I can't seem to figure out what to do. The fact that I'd go online to discuss this with hundreds of random strangers should pretty much confirm this for you lol. I have 200 dollars to spend on gaming, and I have four different options that I could go with. The catch is, I have to act by tomorrow or else one of the options is gone forever.
At one point, between 2006-2007, I owned all three current gen systems. That's back when the PS3 was, well, pretty abysmal. I had a 60GB PS3 and a few games, but that system was doing so bad back then, that there was pretty much no reason, imo, to own it. I ended up selling it and sticking with the 360 and Wii. This means I missed out on the Uncharted series, Infamous, Killzone, GOW3, MGS4,GT5 etc. Pretty much EVERYTHING post Resistance 1. When the Slim launched and that system took off, I wanted one but I didn't have the money nor could I see spending it, simply because it's extremely expensive mid gen to switch consoles. If you're going to do it, it's always much cheaper now, at the end of the gen because the hardware and software, particularly software, is dirt cheap.
So basically that's where I'm at now. I have a brand new 250GB PS3 super slim bundle with Uncharted 1, 2, Infamous 1, 2 and one month of PS+ for $199.99 waiting for me AS WE SPEAK. I could literally go pick it up right now, if I wanted.
Or
I could renew my XBL gold for $49.99 and buy all four Gears games for less than $100.00 and play through that entire series (never got the chance to play them beyond a few levels of the first) or just a bunch of random games to hold me over until next gen.
Or
I could take that $199.99 and put it towards a Wii-U.
Or
I could simply save the money, sit on it, and wait until the end of the year when everything will be much clearer as far as all three next gen consoles. But that means no gaming until then and that's a LONG wait.
I have pros and cons for all four options and they all seem to be outweighing each other perfectly. I can't seem to make up my damn mind, and I don't know too many unbiased gamers in the real world who could help me rationalize this. Any advice would help.
