tablets and phones are outdated every year... consoles are kept for years, i can play my DVD'S Blue rays cd's, memory sticks play block buster games So i don't actually think paying £500 for a console is that bad, considering how long i will keep it and how usefull it is |
Very few people pay £500+ for a phone. They get them free with their contract and upgrade their handset when they renew their contract. They are also portable devices which people consider more essential than a games console. Really poor example, please try better.
Alternate slant on the "inflation means it's cheaper"
"Total pay in some parts of the UK has shrunk by more than 10% since the start of the downturn in 2007, analysis by a union organisation suggests."

So as I said, £429 now is actually MORE to a lot of people than £425 was back in 2007, irrelivent of inflation.
