I actually think this is quite telling as I've seen plenty of Sony fanboys claim that people just buy the Wii as a spur of the moment item because they can't afford a PS3.

Wow, I was thinking the same thing. Great minds think alike.

So you'd consider this thread Flamebait too because a developer thinks it's a good thing that a gamedisk can hold more data? Something that's obvious? http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=5612&start=0#end If anything i'd consider this less well known as it's a kid nobody has ever heard of before.

I'm a little confused by the "Given a Ps3" combined with shopping spree though.  I mean... did she have to pay for the PS3 or not?  Is winning the biggest lotto ever not enough if she didn't?

Also, it doesn't even say the kid didn't want the PS3, just that the mom also wants to get him a Wii.  If I was a 14 year old and my mom won the lottery i'd want both, a 360, PSP, DS and nice car for when i turned 16 or whenever you can drive in england.  To me it just seems more a feel good story with a added videogame twist in it.

Though if anything it annoys me that they are pretty much encouraging her to waste her lotto money by taking her to stores she couldn't afford before.  Lotto winners more often then not go overboard and end up losing all that money they won anyway, they don't need someone pushing them off that ledge.

What I've slowly been learning on these forums is some people just stop posting in a thread after they've been proven horribly wrong.

Our german proverb for such a situation translates to "2 stupid persons - same thought".

 EDIT:

ah yea, because there might be a chance I am misunderstood - I didn't mean to insult you guys , but just wanted to point out the different point of views the languages/countries seem to have towards that ,although the german one is usually ment to be be said jokingly (aswell?)

zomg maybe sony fans should stop trolling the nintendo forum!!!!!!111oneeleven

its not strange that he wants a Wii, hell with that much he could buy all the game systems that ever existed and all the games for them, as well as a house big enough to have a dedicated games room for each system.

what i find strange is camelot giving away a ps3 to a kid whose mum just won €52million.

52 million Euros and GIVEN a PS3?

That's like giving a guy with a 12 inch cock a dick extention operation!

Lol see what us UK ppl are like... wii want wii's
