Why do people have to...

[Felis]

...get all the new stuff first?

The people who go crazy to get a Wii or PS3 at a store are idiots. Why do you have to get it first or early?

"Ha ha, I got the <insert new console name here>."

Five days later...

"What the fuck? My console just overheated and exploded, and it's built in memory is jacked up!"

Yeah, ha ha.

"...well, I got the console that has all the bugs fixed, the equipment proper, and I bought it for only 100 bucks. Whilst you got it for 300 bucks."

I will never understand why people brag about getting new shit first.

It makes them cooler than you.

Yes, it's really cool to have a new game system one day, and a glitch-packed pile of shit the next. Fail.

The only reason you complain, is because you didn't get a xbox360,wii,or ps3 for Xmas.

Wrong. As I said before, why would I want a glitched pile of shit?

That kind of comment has failed twice, no one need posteth it again.

[Some-Stupid-Idiot]

I didn't even get a gamecube till 2-3 years after it came out.

You are talking about two different things.

First your mad about people getting consoles close to when they come out, then you are getting mad because they brag about it.
I can understand the bragging part, but not the getting early part.
I got my wii black Friday, less then a week after it came out and its great.

I didn't buy a PS2 until about four years after it's launch, I was content with my N64.

Not all of them glitch, FAR less than 5% break. Mostly it's due to malificient use of the consumber that causes it, like for example turning the 360 while there's a disc inside of it spinning at 100 miles per hour.

If a console doesn't have glitches in it for some miraculour reason, you still buy it at almost a 100% higher price as you could've gotten it later.

[Specusci]

The point is that the person has the financial assets and personal stamina to get a faulty piece of equipment at a higher price then the fixed one. These are people who can afford to buy a $300 piece of shiny crap, then spend another $1000 getting it fixed and buying new ones and buying games. These are people who can go "Hahahaha! I have a piece of crap, but I'm rich enough that I can make it better then yours after a couple weeks!".

It's not the fact that they have a piece of shit, it's the fact that they have the financial abilities to do so and still, in the end, obtain a machine of decent quality. What I don't understand, is why people like you almost openly go "I'M SO POOR THAT I CANNOT CONSUME VAST RESOURCES VERY EASILY". In a society where money IS everything, material posession is a huge marker of status. The more you have and the more money you have to buy it, the higher up in society you are.

Complaining about it just shows how middle-income you really are. It has nothing to do with quality, efficiency or logic, just quantity.

[Latecks]

It's because they're dumbasses.

Also, because you touch yourself at night.

Also, cocks.
