I am here today to come with you with a problem facing the gaming community as a whole. The cost of gaming is widely increasing and it seems that it will just keep going. A look at what gaming can cost up to today.

PS3 160GB- 300$ now thats just the platform so you've already spent 300 dollars!

Then add in 5 games so you have something to play.

These are the top 5 according to Gamestop

Red Dead Redemption-50 Dollars

Fallout 3- 20-40 dollars

God of War 3- 50$

Heavy Rain- 50$

GT5- 50$

Add in an extra controller for about 20$

Also if you want to play in HD on your nice big HD flatscreens your gonna need HDMI cables for another 15$.

Add in DLC that you wanna buy for these games that puts you up another 30 Dollars.

Thats 605$ you just put down just to play some video games.

Add in more games and your cost keeps going up.

Opinions?

i thought this would be a critique on the social costs of gaming rather than the fact that 'goods cost money to purchase.'

I thought this might be a hilarious story about someone getting sacked for being on IRC allday while at work. :D

Are we supposed to be surprised that high-end gaming is a sport of the privileged middle and upper classes? Where is the concern about the poor inner city youths being priced out of yachting?

Snarkiness aside, I like how you're thinking. I sense the seeds of communism within you... Now just make the next logical step and join the dark side: blame capitalism and release your anger. Your hatred makes you powerful!
