Well.. I take it back.

They drink at least 1 whole case, sometimes 2 a night....

That's 11$ or so, each.

That is almost 4000-9000$ a year on beer...

They were drinking since 18, maybe lower >___>

I just used 20 years since my dad is 40, and my mom is 38...

~130,000$ :shock:

I hope I am wrong somewheres, cuz that is a LOT of money...

Im not sure I get the point. Drinking that much is just making it harder and harder for them to get as drunk, and stay drunk for as long.

And tbh most alcoholic beverages taste like cleaning fluid. Why on earth would normal people buy it enmasse and drink it alone with no intention fog etting drunk or drowning their sorrows...... (alcoholics != normal ppl)

I believe it is becuase they are like me, and, if sitting and idling/playing comp, have to have something to drink...

I have tea for that purpose, though... :P

If you live in Europe and buy a PS3 than something is wrong with you. Apparently Sony doesn't like Europe very much.

Don't forget the fact that the PS3 cell processor is much more harder to develop for than the Xbox or Wii equivalents. That alone reduces developer interest in the system (thus there's only those three games releases available on the system).

On the other hand, PS3 comes with a blue-ray disc player which are alone pretty expensive. If you take a 360 with a HD-DVD player it'll cost the same amount than the PS3 by itself though, but you'll basically get a much larger library of games and that makes the 360 a more feasible choice.

There are alot more than 3 game releases for the PS3... I think we're counting good games. If you aren't counting "OMG, GRAPHICS ARE SEXY" as an instant prerequisite to a game being fun, PS3 is kind of lacking in longterm entertainment...

Yeah, I was kind of exaggerating there. Nevertheless, there aren't many quality exclusive releases on the PS3, and that reduces the attractiveness of buying and owning of the system. It's got some pretty promising games coming up (Metal Gear Solid 3), but so does the Xbox (Mass Effect and others). Surprisingly, the Wii lineup isn't getting much hype.

Well, I'm pretty hyped.

I've already seen a little of what it can do.

Now, I get MP3 and SSBB!
