game companies remodeling their fucking game consoles
i have multiple examples
1: i buy a game boy advance when it comes out, i play the gba games, but they are hard to see due to no backlight. about a year or so later, they release a new version with a backlight, that folds up to protect it from scratches.
i ended up turning in the old gba for an sp.
nintendo, fuck you.
2: same as 1 only with the ds, and me being smart and not getting a ds until the lights came out.
3: xbox 360
i got my xbox 360 back in july 2006, it doesn't have an hdmi port. now the "premium" package 360's come with hdmi ports(i got a "premium" package back in 06), so because i bought the thing a year early, i have inferior hardware, and no hdmi port to see a better picture on my tv. i mean, i wasted a decent bit of time looking at these hdmi ports, thought to myself "my 360 has no such port" then wikipedia tells me that microsoft hates me, and i have to deal with the component cables or buy a new system.
microsoft, fuck you.
4: ps3
i refuse to list the amount of facelifts this thing has had, but i will list the easiest one.
it was advertised to have backwards compatability, and it did, now it doesn't.
fuck you sony.
5: psp
same as number 2, save for me not owning a psp "slim" yet
sony, fuck you, again
lesson learned, so one must wait at least 2 to 3 years after said system comes out as to "hopefully" not get screwed over and get the "optimal" hardware.
i mean at least the wii isn't doing it (yet) and i don't yet own a tripple, or psp(yet).
to add
i bought ninja gaiden shortly after it came out for $50.00.
it is one of the best action games ever made, but later, they release a BETTER VERSION, for $20.00 CHEAPER.
so me, one of the customers who helped the game get successful in the first place, gets fucked over, and the people who didn't give a rats ass about playing the game while it was out the first year get rewarded.
the fuck kind of world is this.
remind me to never buy things within the year they came out. i mean, i fucking swear they will release a "GRAND THEFT AUTO FOUR SPECIAL EDITION FOR ONLY TWENTY US DOLLARS" next year because i typed this post.
i mean i should be able to redeem my current hardware/software for the new shit at a discounted price (like i did for the sp)
/end rant/i have 2 hdmi ports which will continue to go unused until i get a tripple to fill up one of the slots
RRRRRAAAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEEEEE
