Trent Setting

as per usually, whenever me and my brother-in-laws hang around it doesn't take long for the conversation to turn towards videogames. and when i say long, i mean 5 min. that is long enough to get the small talk out of the way.

things like: "how you doing?". "how is work?". "how was the drive up?", "Some Coffee and toast?"

looks like they are finally getting an xbox360. but not just any old one... the ELITE. you know, the nice black one with high def built in and additional odds and sodds.
and they are going to get for less then what i paid for the original xbox360 when it came out. 

sometimes, just sometimes, it doesn't pay to be a trent setter. 

another example is the DS. the original looks like a toy for a 10-year old. the DS lite is gorgeous. 

why must i be tormented like this?

long story short: no more toys till they are atleast 2nd generation. 

let other people spend their money on 1st gen gear.
