I hate when people bring up inflation.
If I was making $10 an hour back when I bought an N64 and am still making $10 an hour today. The N64 was cheaper. Inflation means nothing. It's all relative to the individuals income.

If you were making $10 in 1996 and are still making $10 an hour at the same job in 2014, you've got bigger issues than how much you're paying for consoles, namely legal ones.

I'm not, heck back in N64 days i was too young to even have a job legally I think. Pretty sure I was only like 12 or so when it released.
I'm just saying. There are PLENTY of peope making around $10/hr in this day an age, and there were tons of people making $10/hr back then too.
To those $10/hr people $300 is more expensive than $200. Inflation means NOTHING.
What someone with their pay grade could afford in 20 hours now takes 30 hours. (excluding tax takin out of paycheck and tax included in cost of system)

Are these the same exact jobs you are takling about? because if not, your analogy doesnt make any sense...

Yes, my next post shows it. I lifeguarded when younger and its max pay was $10/hr. My cousins who are like 15 years younger than me their max pay is also $10/hr.
I imagine it was $10/hr for many years before I guarded as well.
Only giant save every dollar they can by hiring cheap labor (mcdonalds, walmart, ect) pay the minimum wage. Most small businesses or stuff pay around $10 an hour.
