I used to read IGN on a daily basis back in '99, but they just got so ad heavy that I stopped. I haven't been back there since.

Was the woman good looking? Is the guy brain dead (or can't get it up anymore)?

I don't know, I have a gaming box and everything; but to prefer it over a woman, especially over a woman that you can sleep (in both sense of the word) with... that's something I don't understand. Maybe I'm just not that much of geek... or like women more than playing games... or something...

If it was Mac (especially G5) than it would be a totally different story....

I would definitely take the PS2. I mean, one date with someone... It might be your last and you'd never see them again. Whereas the PS2 will give you years of enjoyment.

But what if you go buy a PS2 on your one date with someone? Hmmm...the irony...

Yes, it definitely blows. The only time I use Firefox aside from testing my sites is when I want to read IGN. Locks up Safari for WAY too long to be usable, especially if you're going any deeper than just the homepage.

What if someone buys you a PS1, then you marry them. 8 years later, and I don't even have the damn PS1.

She was pretty good looking. It was an all expenses paid date too, so I don't know what the guy was thinking. Insert joke about scoring with a PS2 vs a real live person.

Doesn't make much sense to me. Even if he turned out not to like whichever he selected, the PS2 has the lower resale value of the two.

The girl is a good looking one. That bachelor must be either:
-a poor burguerflipper who can't afford a PS2
-the ladies man, who doesn't need more girls
-stupid, blind or stupid.

one date with a girl that you would probably never see again, or a play station 2? I'd take the playstation 2 any day. She wasn't that hot (and if you think she was, maybe you should come back when you are a little less drunk)and he probably wouldn't have gotten any action even if he had wanted it (she wasn't a prostitute). i think some of you must be pretty desperate to think one paid date (that you might not enjoy) is worth more than a $200 playstation 2.

No doubt. It wasn't "sex or PS2," it was "go out to dinner or PS2."

Besides, that particular guy is fairly attractive. I'm sure he has no problems getting laid. Or he could even be gay (the horror!).

If it was a sure thing that I would get sex, I would take the date, but if not, I'd take the playstation.

Fairly attractive. All I meant was, that if he has the personality, he's golden (as far as sex goes).

Personality? Well either he has a wicked sense of humor, or he's just a geek.

I think that he made a mistake. The second lady above probably wouldn't bring all that much companionship in the long run.
