Anyone Else Saving Up?

[BattleCattle]

19, have some money left over from a summer job. Didnt want to clear THAT much out of my account (including the 1 GB SD card I bought), but it is so going to be worth it when it arrives.

*cant wait for it to arrive*

17, I'm going to enter the work force out of high school, which mean that all money I get goes to either gas, my girlfriend, or saving to pay for future bills.. h34r:

No GP2X for me.. at least not until I'm working.

 

[Tobriand]

19... though I'd have chosen a GP2x over a PSP/NDS since probably about when 17; before then, I wouldn't have realised, I suspect, the value of a friendly non-warez-filled (or at least, non w4R3z filled) community, and might have chosen a PSP, but even then, its dubious...

hehe, well, i was one of those guy getting a first batch ps2... i paid it full price (520.00 CAN) and it died on me two times, i repaired it one time for 180.00 CAN....The second time i decided to buy ANOTHER ps2, 'cause i couldn't trust it anymore. 299.99 CAN...

i know that sony is sony, but Now i take no chance.

I'm like scared of new things now...

I was online for PS2 the first day, preordered. Mine went 3+ years no problem before seeing a DRE, sony fixed it free.

Some people are just lucky, I guess.

 

[Cahaz]

They fixed it for FREE?!

i hate you...

 

[Korup7]

Lookin forward to playin a lot of the games I never had the chance to play cause i wasn't born yet :lol:

Got introduced to flash carts for the GBA a couple years ago and was instantly hooked on homebrew, free commercial games, etc.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

well, sony fixed mine for free, but i called howard stringer and complained. tech support couldnt give a rats ass.

i still heart sony :wub:

 

[junker]

i don't know...my ps2 and pretty much all of my friends' ps2 units have had issues or got broken.

 

[aQwaBlaz3]

Oh...age...alright......19.....unemployed, but im going to get a job soon.

 

[Alpha2]

The more moving parts a system has and the more it's used the higher the likelyhood that it could break. The PS2 has 2 or 3 moving parts required to play and has a much larger library of games. It's possible most people are simply wearing out their systems from use, but that's still along side of the units that can become problematic because sony likes to use cheap parts to lower costs. No system is immune from technical problems but it's usually good practice not to help the problems along.

I'm under the impression that sony fixed mine because of when it was produced, I think just about any system in the first 2 or 3 model numbers were supposed to be elligable for free repairs but Sony's not about to hand those over without making sure you're one of the elligable ones. When I called I was ready for a fight but it sounded like the rep was already expecting me to talk about the DREs... I spent all of 5 mintues on the phone.

36 - 3 kids (all < 5), a missus, one income and a huge mortgage.

I would have been saving, but my nana left me some $$s in her will, so I am treating myself - and I can't wait. Every day I read this board I get more itchy ... gotta have one, gotta have one now !

18, Student. >_<

 

[Brad D]

Back in 1984 or 85 I owed my parents money but I went out and bought an Atari 400.
Now I'm 42 and I've preordered but haven't told my wife. Some things never change.

 

[Jarska333]

80, I wish we'd had GP32's in the trenches. All we had was MP38's.

(It rhymes well.)

25, unemployed, no vocation. I feel adrift, got mine preordered.

 

[mattbakse]

16, No job but looking for one have a few applications out. But I got my GP2x Free, so I'll just talk about the SD card. If I don't get a job by the time I get my GP2x to pay for the SD card, I'm asking for it for christmas.

 

[fishybawb]

25. I ordered mine when I had a job, then I quit.

I have a feeling that if daughter likes gadgets, what an excuse to HAVE to buy all the new stuff. (please like gadgets, May...)
