Start Saving, Super-Geeks!
So, I read this afternoon that the new Playstation3 might run 500-600 dollars. Shazbot! I think I have to make a stand right here, right now. When the video game revolution started some time ago, 150 dollars for a system sounded reasonable. Then the xbox drops at 300, and like an idiot, I ch-ch-charge it, and proceed to wonder why I ever bought it. Then the price dips back down to normal 150 range, and I kick my own ass wondering why I'm so impulsive.
My stand is this: I will not yield to Sony's horrid price. I will scream triumphantly at my cohorts who dash to the outside line at Best Buy the night before release. To rub it in, I may even stand shoulder to shoulder with them just for spite. I'll walk right behind them as they buy a ps3 for a 500 a piece, and I will laugh at their folly. Then, I will get one myself, and proceed to my car in shame... horrible shame, as I am in fact, no worse then them.
My name is Marc Alan Fishman, and I have a problem.
