I cannot see waisting hours on end on an activity so unproductive as playing video games


I used to tell this to my kids when the first Nintendo came out. But now I look forward to the few precious hours I can waste playing video games, but then again I watch very little TV.


I still go through phases where I won't play for months, and then a really good new game comes out....


One thing I'll admitt is that I've never stood in line for any game or system....not yet anyway.

I know I won't ever do this. The first versions of any new high end gaming system have bugs which eventually get worked out in later versions. The Xbox 360 was a prime example of this.

Personally I think the PS3 is overrated. The fact that it is more of a computer than a console doesn't help things either. People buy gaming consoles because they do not want to deal with the hassles of tweaking a gaming computer to work with a particular game. They also do not want the hassles of customizing or upgrading said systems either.
