We should keep recommending him all the worst games, just keep stirring regret.

You really should've used spoiler tags on that last post Dakar. Now he's gonna know!

Ah! Misconception!

I haven't actually purchased the PS3 yet. There's a shortage around here. I've checked some local Best Buys, Gamestops, and one Wal-Mart, but everyone's out. For whatever reason, this whole area is on a game system-buying spree.

I was going to wait for the new, $400 80GB version anyways, but I'm taking my youth group to New Orleans this weekend, and told the gaming-crazed guys who are staying in my room to bring their 360. We'll go a little Halo crazy, and I can see if I love it anywhere as close to how much I loved the old ones.

Is that a new record?
Of course not! I've actually been walking out of the store with a system in hand wondering, "Did I just do the right thing?"

Then I guess you didn't truly choose yet.

Even if I had bought it already, does anyone here actually think I'd have "truly chosen" at that point?

I guess "went with" is the closest thing.

Sometime, you need to tell your wife she should appreciate your inability to commit is limited to the console realm. Probably the next time you change your mind on one.

Just suck it up and buy both. It's really the only way to be truly satisfied.

All glory to the hypnotoad.

You're going to think I'm joking, but I broke up with my wife 5 times (she claims responsibility for 2 of them, but I think that's just so I don't look like such a fool)...

[EDIT] I thought I should add that I'm 100% satisfied with my decision to get married. No regrets on that purcha-...uh, commitment.

I really need to stop responding to you until you take the plunge.

You can't stop. It's a compulsive desire to feed my neurosis.

It feels almost as good as a tranquilizer dart to the neck.

Only if you seek out frustration (and possibly nausea) in your life.

It is done. I am a PS3 owner. I currently have zero regrets.

I haven't even been able to unbox it yet. I'm in New Orleans, and won't be back until after midnight Saturday. We'll see...we'll see...

If you 360 owners haven't picked up Braid yet - do it! It's an amazing game.

Ugh, my brain hurts!

Just wrapped up world 2 after tearing my hair out on a few of them, now I'm stuck in the last levels of world 3.

Cool game, hard game, brain hurts.
