I know!! I am such a FILTHY, CONSUMERISTIC yank!! LOL! Seriously, man, watching this kid's life play-out has been like a bad episode of The Sopranos....he had to learn a tough life lesson...
You know, we both debated 'next gen' systems for years, but its now past time. I have had several Wii decks, and possibly a 360 or two, but didnt even know what the hell they were...ah well...

They suffer from the same problem as 360s, it just takes longer for it to kick in. People don't seem to realise this.
Also the lasers are pretty poor quality and often fail as well.
Ah, I see....
Well, with crappier manufacturing overall, and labour-house working conditions, I suppose that eventually all disc-based systems will seize-up and croak long before the cartridge-based consoles will....RIP.....
I'll just keep two PS3s around in case one bites the bag..
Although, our GoldStar 3DO still spins like a top, though there isnt much point in having the old sod around as it seems like a shitheap next to 95% of its peers....
....and contemporaries....and predecessors....and....
No, just a demo disc of sorts.
It was mainly used as a CD player.
He also used to have a Laser Disc.
We used to.:
