Guys, you might think that buying the "next great game" is worth the big bills, but it isn't. We can all recount the dollars we burned through for the "game of the century" (e.g. Ocarina, Halo, Doom 3, Halo 3, anything with '3'), but it doesn't last. The next thing you know, you're a college student and playtime is over. I already blew most of my money on food, and I don't even play games anymore! How pathetic, right? If I could take back all that money I spent on $30/$50 games, I would so I could put it toward important things and be a real man! So wait a few years before buying that new system. Donate to the IFCJ, you can bring Jews who were victimized by the Soviets back to Israel.

lol listen to Debby Downer over here. I'm a college student too, and I think that the 360 is one of the best purchases ive made to take the stress off of work and school. I am a firm believer in donating money to people in need but I think your approach could have been better. Good luck with the IFCJ

I think being a "real man" is getting off your ass and getting a job so you can pay for everything you want and not blaming videogames because you pissed away all your money. I work part time and I afford college, all current videogame systems and handhelds, a computer, iPod and $10,000 car...and I don't make goofy threads complaining about being broke.

video games are not cheap, we know it... they're not 1st necessity articles.. so, that says it all, some like to be grown people and have fun at the same time because you know, they can afford it.

Donate to Jews while Jews control large portion of US economy? Not to memtion a lot of our tax money went to support Jews. If we put your tax money on education and public constructions, we wouldn't so poorbarely fed.magicalclick

ummmm  i'm a graduate student and I still play videogames all the time.  And while I do have to manage my time better than when I was in highschool, I don't sit around being boring all the time.   There is a difference between being responsible and giving up gaming.  Some people think that when you grow up you should put away childish things.  Well, thats great, but videogames aren't a childish thing.  
I challenge you to stop watching movies and tv for the rest of your life!  The statement you are making is just as stupid!

I'm going to use that argument to not buy a PS3, jews from Soviet, being a real man and all. But seriously, it's a ****load of bull****, why even write something that stupid as a post. I don't need to be told stupid reasons to not buy 360. I've already bought three. This is an Xbox360 forum not self-help for dumbasses.

umm what have the jews done for christians, catholics ect?, so whats th epoint of giving them money?SaintsRowSam
That statement summarizes the attitude a good portion of people. "They didn't do anything for me" Isn't being a good christian about helping people who need it. there are other ways to help people besides converting them. Also, Jesus was Jewish. TC, i'm Jewish but your topic explanation is pretty sad. "Don't buy a 360 so you can give that money to charity." All you're doing is asking for people to flame you and bringing out the anti-semites.

Wow the TC was just asking to get flamed, I'm suprised the mods haven't locked this topic yet, hes begging for money for christ sake, thats a clear violation of The Gammespot Code Of Conduct.
