I haven't bought the XBox 360 and I probably won't be buying the Playstation 3 either. Why? Sometimes I feel like we are being led around by our noses or more aptly our wallets. Every few years (it seems) we have the war of the consoles. Where every company that makes these things tries to outdo his competitor with higher powered and increasingly more expensive toys. I was/am happy with my PS2. It reminds me of the old adage "if it ain't broke...don't fix it". Right now, I feel that the prices are too high. I just can't justify that kind of expense. As long as support for the PS2 is there and games I want to play are still being made for it, I'll stay with it. Maybe in a couple of years when the prices drop to a more reasonable amount I'll relent. I already have a new computer, a nearly new PS2 and a gameboy. I just don't need any more toys.

On a different note. Every once in a while I get massive game burnout and I'll get away from the computer or PS2 for several days and find other things to do. Don't get me wrong, my life does not revolve around the PC or gaming. I have a ton of other stuff I have to do before I can ever take a break and surf the net or play a game, but still if I play more than normal, I do get bored with it all. That's what happened to me this week. I haven't touched the PC in four days, except to check my emails. That's it. I rarely use the PS2, unless a new game I really want comes out. I love to read, so in my spare time that's what I've been doing.
