Park Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 We're right at the end of this console generation, so most games will drop in price quickly after release at this point. I hope the PS4 doesn't have a $600 price tag on launch day Word is, it'll be $399. I guess I'll pick it up in five years when its 199 and I'm done with my ps3 With three consoles and two handhelds every generation, I don't know how anyone can possibly keep up with it all. I have several years worth of games to get through for both the PS3 and Xbox360 so I will be in the same boat. Then again I have a ten year old son, so I may not make it that long. Everyone says this in the final year of a console, myself included. Once E3 hits and the media hype starts building, this reasonable thinking turns into DO WANT. Being that I am as big a goofball for this stuff as my son, you are probably right. I still have my original Xbox, two PS ones and a Nintendo 64 sitting around. I think I finished all the games I wanted too on there. If the rumors are true and both the new Xbox and Playstation debut at $399, it'll be really hard for me to resist, especially since at that price point, a drop won't come for at least 2 years after launch. Unfortunately for me and my wallet, gaming is most fun to me when I'm jumping on the newest stuff, whether it's games at a full $60 on launch day, or consoles at launch. Luckily I no longer collect children's literature entombed in expensive plastic. I totally get having it when it is new. That has been tempered a bit with age but I see it with my son and we both get giddy with the new games now. Other than the PS3, all the consoles I have bought have been on launch day. There is that extra excitement that comes with buying the stuff as it comes out. I only collect children's literature that isn't entombed. keep it on the down low though.

Ken Aldred Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm exactly the opposite. I would rather wait for a cheaper console and cheaper games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pubmonkey Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I know it's not a console game but I am still addicted to Medal of Honour Allied Assault on the PC. This game came out in 2000 and with the Breakthrough expansion it still kicks bum. I play on the LSE servers every other night and so do boatloads of others still. I wonder if any other game still has that kind of following after so long. I'd love to know if anyone else plays this still... I have a PS3 and all the games to boot but still always go back to the PC when I want to immerse myself for a few hours. Storming Omaha is still my favourite...

Marvelfangirl Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 $399 I can deal with. It really depends on what the 1st generation system has in it I could wait like I did with my PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 No, but the first solid was one of the best videogames ever What a classic. Didn't enjoy 2 nearly as much. Haven't tried the entries after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yecul Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Is there any interest in gaming mags from the mid-90s? EGM and other non Nintendo Power mags? I don't think there's any value, but if people collect them then let me know. I bought a collection to get the NP and am not keeping the rest. Probably not even worth shipping for the most part... :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play the game, you'll love it. First time I booted the game up, WTF was my reaction. Now it's tied to the memory of an awesome game (maybe the best in series). It's an acquired taste.
