Would you still game if...

An xbox 360, model PRO costed 800,00 american dollars, a game 100,00 , and the minimum wage was around 1,50 ?

My country works like that.

kthxbye

Lol you live in Brazil right? Ya I dont think its that high for those items, even if you import them and the minmum wage must be higher then that :P

Nope

Probably not.I love gaming but it would have to take a back seat to the necessary things in life.

As long as I could still afford a ski mask and walk into a bank I would.

no, boycott it

I would move to china, get a job working in manufacturing of the machines, gradually steal the parts to make one over time and build my own.

Or kidnap a panda and hold it hostage for a 360.

No, I probably wouldn't. I don't have any hobbies with an entry price point of $80,000. Military officers aren't that well paid.

It's okay if you drop the ball, because the ball is connected to a string which is attached to the cup.

Minimum wage is $1.50.. Games cost $100 and the system costs $800.

i prolly wouldnt. or maybe i will. but i will have to share it with my brother.

it would proably be what i saved up after i spent what i needed on necessities. gaming is my only hobby, so the only other thing i would have other than that is glaring at a picture of my leader and thinking angry thoughts at whoever's fault it is that our economy is bad enough that things are that expensive.

of course you have to wonder if a place that bad off even has easily accessed electricity to play the games. if it costs to much for electricity that it takes up your entire budget, then you can't but games anyway.

Hell no! Also you misplaced the commas in your numbers.

No way dude thatd burn a hole in my pocket...or just make my pants burst into flames. Some of you guys are freaks...go outside or something...

Hell no! Also you misplaced the commas in your numbers.

Well I will if paying such a high cost could still make me feel fun...

[QUOTE="ROBBYBEAR1985"][QUOTE="paulokoenigkam"] Not exactly like that because currency exchange value changes every day, but it floats around those values =) If you import them it's probably even more expensive due import taxes...paulokoenigkam

No i wouldnt still play games, i love video games (that sounds super nerdy) but me and my families nessecities come first before i ever think of playing vidoes games int those conditions you mentioned.

Best bet would be to get a friend who travels a lot to buy games for you in different countries I suppose.mark1982

I think emulation would become the modern-day equivalent of moonshine during the Prohibition.

If by gaming you mean playing tetris on a first-gen game boy, yes..

800 $ for an xbox 360?? that's a rip-off!! In my country the new games cost 80$ :?

[QUOTE="paulokoenigkam"][QUOTE="ROBBYBEAR1985"] My guess is, please do not be offended, that you are apart of Brazil's upper class? Do you plan on getting the UFC game? lolsourcerah

Most of my games are used and stuff, so I get them cheaper :p

But now I'll stay for a few months without buying anything because of the world wide bad economy... (gotta get a new job damn it)

And yep, I guess I'm middle high class :p

Also thanks for backing me up, I speak English well enough but I've never seen anyone write money that way... before the comma, dollars. After comma, cents.

If I were to write eighty thousand dollars, I'd write 80 000,00 or 80.000,00 or simply 80000,00

If you live in brazil...isn't that the place with the biggest pirate industry? Apparently like 90% of the cds, dvds and games are pirated and cheap...
