I am paying the ultimate price just because I own a PS2? I\'M BROKE enough already. Check it out:
First, "Silent Hill 2" comes out, uh must buy! Cha-ching! -$50
Then "Devil May Cry" decides to happily pop out! -$50, um tax included folks.
NOW that WE ARE made of GOLD, GTA3 explodes into the market in HIGH deman, CHA-CHING!
TONY HAWK 3! WOW IT\'S COMING OUT! BUT oh no! I just busted $150, so now I gotta get TH3 to complete the round trip (uh heh Gamecube hits market for that price :mad: )
OH WHAT\'S THIS? The ever so ready METAL GEAR SOLID: SONS OF LIBERTY??? You kidding me I pre-ordered this back in MAY! Another load of CASH. . .but it\'s not over folks, because the highly addictive SSX is back with TRICKY! But God, I thought most of us have money to buy clothes, food, girlfriend stuff, and pay for bills.
I CANNOT waste $300! I got to get these games but I CAN\'T. I need a birthday every 2 weeks. So I\'m only getting SSX Tricky :bounce: I KNEW PS2 WAS EVIL.

I\'ve made this point before a couple times, Flamebrain, but here it is again. You *really* ought to keep it in mind!:
I\'ve briefly (who am I kidding...I don\'t think I\'ve briefly said ANYTHING on this forum) mentioned this before, but I\'d like to suggest to the older members (and the members that have influence over their parents) that they consider signing up for a Toys R Us VISA credit card.
I have had one for basically 4 now 5 as of this post years now. Why do I mention it? Cuz every non-TRU purchase made gains me 1% refund applied as Geoffrey Dollars (redeemable at TRU) which arrive in $10 increments a day or two prior to my monthly statement. When I use the credit card for TRU purchases, I receive 4% credit. And by "redeemable" I mean nothing less than, "I get free PSOne and PS2 games...all...the...time!!!"
Being 35 36 now since my b-day was on the 16th of this month years old with a job that allows me to travel a great deal, I use this card for EVERYTHING. Motels, rental cars, plane tickets, meals. It racks up...believe me. Even the non-travel goes on their each month. Gas for the car, groceries, etc. Now understand...I pay this card off each month (i.e. I don\'t overextend myself beyond my means). But by doing so...its as good as cash and racks up mucho credit with Geoffrey Dollars.
Like how much? ... [dashed off to dining room to find latest monthly statement] ... patter...patter... Okay, says here I\'ve actually had the card since August of \'96. In that time, TRU has awarded me just pennies over $1100.00!!!! UPDATE: since this post, originally back in December, I now have earned a total of $$1456.36 Can you imagine that??!! I love it!!! SwEeT...
Just a thought...

this is one hell of a problem actually...
It was payday last week and guess what? I am already broke!!! I have spend all my earnings on driving car lessons, schoolbooks, bills and last but not least, my last purchase GTA3. Being at "The Grid" (PSX Business Event) and seeing all those beautiful games coming out this november and december is actually very sad.
Silent Hill 2, Devil May Cry, Burnout, SSX Tricky, Wipeout Fusion, WRC and Dropship in January. Heck, the PS2 is just too good. I can\'t help it, but the only way I can go around this, is to limit my purchuse to Silent Hill 2, DMC, Wipeout Fusion, WRC and Jak and Daxter. Since my sister will be paying a fair share for Jak and Daxter, and Christmas soon here, it won\'t be too bad...
Boy, it\'s really a great time to be PS2 gamer. :D Too good. :D
