Because it is a fucking video game Doughboy. I don't like to think that much about video games. If it's fun I wil play it and seriously let's be honest, what is $250 bucks? 250 bucks is not much to pay for a small upgrade. I am not rich at all, but it is not hard for me to swing 250 bucks on a video game system that is fun. I will maybe buy a game every 3 months for it.

A video game system is a video game system to me. I don't get into the specs, why? because I am a casual player. With exception to RPG's (which happens for me once a year at most) I play maybe 2 hours of video games a week on average. I will go months without ever picking up a video game. That is the way most people are. I mainly use video games to kill time and as a way to spend time with my son. Other then that, I really don't care about them.

It cracks me up that you are in "awe" of them while you insult them and proceed to go on a rant which rehashes everything you have said in the past.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.
