Shared on Thu, 11/16/2006 - 18:21So the insanity is set to kick off tonight at midnight and the fanboi debates will rage on into the darkness... Which one is better? Which one is all dat and a bag 'o chips? Which one do you want to have your manbabies?
In my case, neither one.
Let the fanbois camp out for days on end to try and get a system to hawk on eBay. I'll wait it out and buy one six months or so down the road when the in-store stock rebuilds to acceptable levels. Hell, I'm so far behind the console technology curve right now I'm about to get lapped by the last generation of systems. I was late to the party in the broadband realm, so I never bought an XBox. I figured what was the point of having a console that had a huge online draw if I didn't have the speed to back it up? And now the world has moved on to the 360 and I'm still lagging behind. Hell, I just finally got a PS2 about a year ago and I'm still working through the games I've purchased for it. That brings me to one of the grand paradoxes of being an adult gamer:
When you finally get yourself to the point where you can afford to purchase the next-gen system you wanted, you'll be lucky if you have the time to play it.
Maybe when I get everything settled from the impending shakeout (more on that in the future) I'll have the time to play all the games I've been stockpiling for the last couple years...
