I only bitched about the traffic. Some idiot Mexican road gang decided 4 PM during rush hour on an on ramp to Loop 410 was the perfect time to do a little sand maintenance. And of course the next on-ramp was 5 miles and 3 lights.

130 miles round trip. Over 3 hours of driving. 2 hour wait. $45 dollar repair. The cost of gas.
All to fix a years old Playstation. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If any of them give you trouble just tell them you have a concealed carry.

I won't argue with you on that, I love my PS3. Besides playing Oblivion/Skyrim, it's how I view Netflix, the occasional disc, and sometimes even surf XHamster. I even admin'd this shithole board using its built-in browser while my own computer was busted a while back. It's been a good friend to me these last ten years.

No doubt I should upgrade to PS4 (years past due), but for several reasons. I don't play video games enough to justify the cost. I still have PS3 games I haven't even played and some (like skyrim)I've barely scratched. PS3 is just perfect for playing DVD/Blueray. And finally, if I upgrade to PS4, I'm looking at $200+ for the console and $20-40 a pop per game. Screw that.

With the new Playstation Plus subscription tier, I don't buy games anymore. Their new free catalog is enough to keep me occupied for years.

Physical copies are all but obsolete on newer consoles considering usually less than half the game is on the disc.

My son said he'd give me his PS4 if/when he manages to get ahold of a PS5. While I'd appreciate it, problem is, all the games I have are for PS3. All the games he has are for PS4, and we both very different tastes on gaming. So yea, a free if somewhat used PS4 is nice, buying all new copies of games I already have isn't. Not that the chance to actually mod Skyrim wouldn't be a boon, but it's the same fucking gameplay on either console. Sony could have put in a compatibility mode, but they didn't for an obvious financial reason. While the PS3 is old, it works, and gives me all I want.

Exactly. I remember when I bought my PS2 being very surprised that it also played the old PS1 games. Sony never made that mistake again. They learned their lesson from the printer business (give away the printer- jack the price of ink). From PS3-5, they sold their consoles at way below what it cost to make. Realized the money was in the games (software) not the consoles (hardware). Very smart.

One person's budget living in L.A.

Like most things on reddit, the comments are where the entertainment is. It seems that younger, lower income people are amazed that there are people out there succeeding financially. To be fair, I sometimes read and hear higher earning people who are out of touch with how little some people get by with.
