With new games running $60 a pop, being able to play the games you already have is a must when you're shelling out $400+ on a new system.

Well, there you have it folks: Logic AND reason (quick someone close this lame thread)

I have too much fun with Music, Films and playing one handed poker (when you have a good hand you don't need a partner) to bother with games consoles.

When are people going to realise that games are a form of art?

When are you going to start reading people's posts with the slightest bit of mindfulness so as to not end up misconstruing everything they say?

*high five*

@ sweet nothing

I wouldn't say games are up to "art" level yet. It's still considered to much of a toy at this point.

I believe the NEXT gen will make it happen.

Console fanboys are the worst type, and I think this thread has gone on for far too long.
