That strategy has worked for you, from the sounds of it, and that's something to be thankful for. But not everybody can afford that, and you have to admit that there's a lot of overhead in doing things that way, getting 3 systems. It's not economically sound for most people to invest $1,000 to $1,250 in video game hardware. I'm not saying your method is wrong (as for you, it clearly isn't), but your method isn't right for a lot of people. Some have to be choosy in how they spend their free funds. And when that's the case, the opinions of others tend to take on more weight, so one can avoid making a poor purchase.

I only make a little over $300 a week working in a warehouse in NY, so I am not very wealthy myself, an apartment costs over $1000 a month for me my girlfriend, so money can get tight. I just learned from my mother how to budget my money well, work on my credit at a young age and set myself up early in life. Not to mention my girlfriend is a gamer so she picked up the Wii for me after dealing with cold weather and poker outside Target. I also picked them up at different times. Wii I bough in Dec of 06, PS3 in Jan 07 and the 360 just 2 weeks ago.

Yeah I understand not everyone can afford all 3 systems or in many cases can not find them and want to make a smart decision, but in time all consoles drop to the point where pretty much anyone can pick one up, so the advice I like to give is to not judge now, judge later when they gave it a chance.

If I can do it in NY (Long Island), I think others can as well, although I wouldn't advise it as it left me broke quite a few times and I refuse to use credit cards now seeing as I still have to pay off this damn car and I do not like "borrowing" money. :p
