If you can't afford to drop $500 on a product, you probably shouldn't be considering purchasing it in the first place, let alone considering installment plans.

What makes sense for large purchases (cars, houses) does not make much sense for small purchases

 

Are you aware of mobile/cell phone plans? Sure, some phones can be $2000 but a majority would surely be closer to the neXbox price range than not.

Sad that you relate these two. Just sad.

No service fee for PS, Ninty, or PC/Mac.

Think about it.

Have you? Mobile phones are a necessity to some, not all. Even me, I certainly don't need my phone but every time I break one, leave it at home, loose it, I feel like I do need it, I seriously doubt I'm alone here. They're used as entertainment devices too... hence the "handheld market is dying" rumor. Look how games like angry birds sell? Shit loads. Isn't Sony also going into some form of rent to buy thingy next gen?
