IF You Can't Afford $30.00 to $65.00 for New Console Game, is IPAD The Answer ?

First of all i am well aware of the graphical and control differences, but as this recession drags on, the gap between me being able to buy a new 360 game grows further and further apart.Now Live is $60.00 a year instead of $50.00, there is also a rumor of games going up to $69.99 now.It's getting way too expensive for me, i have a wife and 2 kids and these current prices are a killer, thats why i'm thinking of selling off all my games and 360 stuff which will take a nice chunk out of the cost and going to buy an IPAD and just paying between $4.99 to $15.99 per game.Game prices are just getting out of hand.

It is my sincere and heartfelt belief that if Apple is the answer, then the question being asked is idiotic.

I take back part of my last post, I would never recommend it over a PSP. I can't stand the DS library, but I know it's popular. Since it's hard to be mobile with a console, PC, and even a laptop, I could see where someone would want an iPhone or iPad. For mobile gaming, I think the PSP Go is the best. It's surprisingly comfortable to use (fits in your hand like a controller), and does everything an iPad or iPhone does minus the app store (music, video, Internet, skype, Bluetooth pairing with any device). The gaming is much more like a console experience. The games range from $5-$40. Still, from your usage description, it sounds like iPad could be the answer for you.

Hey thanks for the suggestion, but i did own PSPgo once and i did not like it at all, it took over an hour to download a game just over 1gb and i have optimum online broadband, and it's 1 line dedicated to the computer, my TV's run off a separate line. So there was no excuse for the slow downloads with PSPgo, my wife had one of the older IPOD touch's and she downloaded comparable size apps from the app store and it only took 20 minutes at the most. Besides i'm much happier with the $5 to $20 game price range of the app store, but again thanks for the input.

PSP's have slow internet. That's just how they are. And how come when people say that PC is the answer you go off on a PC-is-for-retards-Mac-is-for-men bashing spree, yet he says to get a PSP and you say thanks. WTF?

So it's never ending Piracy with Microsoft they steal while Apple creates, which is fine i know the saying " a good artist creates, a better artist steals ", hey thats ok thats the way of big business, but we'll always have better stuff with Apple.

Ermm...Apple also copies everything they do. You don't honestly think Apple actualy innovates at anything? The only difference is that Apple steals their ideas from smaller companies.

Apple never was a real innovator.

Small company innovates, then Apple copies it and makes it hip and then Microsoft copies it again and makes it a standard. That's how it has always been.

[QUOTE="Parasomniac"]PC is the answer.Slimmin360

Nope, sorry not the way i was raised, i was raised that PC stands for ( Piece -a- Crap ) So i will never own a PC or game on a PC, my loyalty, and my money, even if it's more money will always go to Apple.

I was raised to just use the best tool for the job, that's why I always avoided Apple products. Functionality means more to me than a logo.

I like that he said Microsoft was trying to copy Apple by entering the phone market. Microsoft has been in the phone market for eeeeeeever. Somebody never heard of Windows Mobile I guess.
