I would like to know if anyone here doesn't own any of the current generation of consoles i.e. PS3, Wii & X360. I personally don't. I wonder if those who do ever felt being left out? Sometimes I wonder about this as I see people around me play the latest games e.g. Rock Band 2, Left 4 Dead, Little Big Planet, Mario Kart Wii and here I am still playing with my GameCube (which broke down recently
 )It's not that I don't want to keep up. It's just that I don't have the time and money to commit to the latest gaming trends. I'm 27 now. I should be getting a wife and my masters by now. But when I look at videos of the latest games it makes me break a little to know that the only way I could enjoy these games is by watching videos of the games and reading FAQs of it. So I would like to ask if anyone else feels like me? Or if you have any advice to help me stop feeling this way. |

Sometimes I wonder about this as I see people around me play the latest games e.g. Rock Band 2, Left 4 Dead, Little Big Planet, Mario Kart Wii and here I am still playing with my GameCube (which broke down recently Frankly speaking, from your statement, it shown that you not really into video games. What i mean by this is that, if you really into gaming, you will "sacrifices" your monthly salaries/earnings to satisfied your gaming needs. E.g: Many of us are still students that uses our allowances to pursuit our gaming needs/hobbies. )It's not that I don't want to keep up. It's just that I don't have the time and money to commit to the latest gaming trends. I'm 27 now. I should be getting a wife and my masters by now.

So my advice, just get married, get your Masters and live life as other normal people with normal hobbies/needs. Just my 2 sen.  |

Like ajis said, gaming is luxury. Normal hobbies from my understanding is hobbies that does not need much money e.g: reading, watching tv, sleeping, lepaking...etc... |
