Pretty soon, we won't be able to afford consoles anymore, then they'll be something our kids read about in history books
.
I for one agree with you on this point....a gaming console only needs to be a gaming console, not a full blown circus . Anyhow, maybe I'm old school but I prefer if all my gadgets weren't intertwined with other useless items that only purpose is to raise the price .
They're so ahead of themselves trying to bundle every thing into one package that they forgot what the core package is supposed to be about. I plan on getting a console for X-Mas and by gosh all I'll use it for is to play games...not to watch movies (I have a dvd playef for that), not to listen music (I have a component system - radio/cd/mp3 for that) and I don't plan on using ti to surf the net ( I have a computer for that) . So if Sony or Microsoft can make just a regular old console at half the cost...I'd appreciate it a lot.
