Our society celebrates money and materialism. Chasing that brings out the worst in some people.

An excellent point of view, this is.

But as far as I am concerned, no way in heck is a PS3 coming into my house. For $500, I could in theory build a low-end PC that could do so much more.

I'm not getting a Wii quite yet either. I am still and will be enjoying my Gamecube when Twilight Princess comes out for it in December. Then there is my DS Lite, which will be getting FFIII (YAY!!!) and an imported version of the DS Browser once I can get a hold of one...

Still all Nintendo nonetheless.
