I know the feeling bro. I was never able to experience the day one launch until I copped my PS4. I didn't even play it the first few days.I know man I know. It was all about having it first day, I truly believed I'd be kicking myself if I slept on the systems, i remember sleeping in the past, or not having the funds on RD, dreamcast and ps2 and being sick as hell, and maybe I would have if I didnt pick them up, Idk. I definitely should've waited though. All the bundles and deals I've seen made me feel like a jackass lol.
Right?!?!? Me either man. I got the ps3 in like 09. it dropped in 06 if i recall correctly, but i was in college, didnt have that guap on deck yet. Even this time though, I didnt feel the full effect of RD simply because they produced so many. Back in the day systems were in such short supply it was like jordan kicks, you had peeps buying off hype alone, to keep or flip. Mom's waiting in lines for hours and hours for their kids. Christmas was crazy. It was madness in the streets. I walked into best buy RD and saw palettes full on xbone's and ps4's. I preordered them both so i could get the special stuff, for some reason i really wanted the day one version of the XBone and the games that dropped that day lol, idk. I think pricing had an adverse effect on consumers. The 64 was what, 199? Very affordable for the average family. Dreamcast kept it at that price. PS2 was getting up there with the $299 price tag. Now we're sitting at $399 and $499? That **** is rough on the average household.
