    Yeah, I live in a cramped apartment in Brooklyn with a wife and two kids. I don't have a nerd den where I can have multiple consoles available to play. And quite honestly, I haven't played 30 minutes total of a single game since my second was born in December 2012 (so almost a year), and the only Blu-rays I get to watch are Rio, Madagascar and Charlotte's Web. So, it's just not practical for me to consider a new gaming console at this time.

    As it is, every time I fire up the PS3 to maybe select a movie or TV show that the wife and I can watch on Netflix/Hulu Plus after finally getting both kids to sleep, I have to update the PS3 software, then I usually have to update the Netflix or Hulu software, by the time all that's done, one of us is usually like, "fuck it, let's go to bed."

    Whenever I have time to play games/watch Blu-rays again, I'll do so on my PS3. I have at least six games that I have to complete (some still sealed), and, like I said, they won't work in a PS4 because Sony insists on being stubborn on this issue.

    That makes sense. Wives and kids are the worst! ;):D
    Hell, I'm single and live by myself and I can find it hard to find the time to sit down and play.

    My buddy has the ultimate nerd den, with multiple generations of multiple consoles. If we ever get a bigger place, which would mean moving to the suburbs (which would basically make me wish I was dead), I suppose I could take comfort in the possibility of having a nerd den of my own.

    The one thing with my buddy is that I think women see his place and kind of cringe, whereas my wife already knows what she go into with me, so it would be OK. (She's actually a better gamer than I.)

    fyi - suburbs just means bigger playrooms for the kids... not daddy ;)

    Had some time to kill this afternoon.
    Stopped off at Best Buy just to take a look.

    Sold out.
    I asked the guy if they had any more, and the young punk goes "Uh, sorry boss...we sold out 10 minutes after we opened". "Boss"? I hate little shits that call me that.
    :lol::lol:
    I then called around...entire town is sold out.

    Sadly, had I found one I probably would have bought it....even though I told myself I would wait. :fp: :lol:

    Thanks everyone for the replies to this thread. Gamestop on Clark Street in Chicago had about 15 extras they put on sale yesterday at 6:00PM. My son and I waited in line for about 2.5 hours and were first in the line. We bought the system, C.O.D., year membership to the PSN and an extra controller. We then returned at midnight, picked it up, took it back home and decided it would not make it to Christmas morning. We hooked it up, got set to play C.O.D. online, and the damn PSN was down already. The detail is stunning on this and my son seams to think its the best thing on Earth....!
