I haven't tried this one yet but I'd like to, it's one that I'm interested in for sure and I've heard some good things about it. It seems worth a try, I think.

I'm right there with you on this one, price is probably the biggest factor but like you, I like to wait until they work the major bugs out as well. It can be frustrating initially when something is too new...I'm fine waiting a little for the trade off of a more consistent product.

Oh definitely- I wouldn't say that it's something that I do frequently but I'm absolutely capable of it. I have plenty of interests that don't require screentime or being "plugged in".

I guess part of it depends on how much money you have overall for that kind of thing, and what your needs are. If you do a lot of traveling and commuting and would like games for that purpose, then the PSP *could* be worth it. I really wasn't overall impressed with it but my husband thinks it's...

Haha, selfish or not, I'm kind of on the same page. I'm all for moving forward and everything but sometimes it doesn't seem worth it at the pace they're going at...sometimes it seems a bit gimmicky just to get money and push everyone to the "next big thing", which I understand is a part of their...

No, I never did have a gameboy color, but I didn't really feel like I was missing out on it either, personally. I played on a few friends, but I never had my own.

Awesome thread and a great question- I'm really into games like that myself but I don't have a big arsenal of them that I know of :(. I did enjoy lumosity's games and such but I don't have the extra money for that the moment.

My son really likes playing the Wii, so I spend a fair amount of time playing it with him- it's pretty much the only time I play it anymore, as I don't really feel that inclined to play it by myself.

It does disturb me, my son is 10 and it is absolutely disturbing some of the things that some of his classmates get into an the ways they feel okay interacting with others (quite often not supervised to any extent at all). I don't believe in sheltering kids to a ridiculous extent, but there are...

Well I'm not 100% sure on this but I think overall I'm actually saving money with Steam, as long as I'm smart about it and have some self control ;).

I don't believe that violent media causes violent behavior- if there's any correlation at all, I think it's reversed. People who are already inclined to violence may just enjoy seeing violence expressed in different formats. But I think for most gamers, myself included, it's just a chance to...

Yes I agree. People are so quick to judge others- them spending hours and hours on their leisure activities is perfectly acceptable, but they want to go ahead and judge other for preferring different activities. It's really rather immature. I love vegging out with Netflix, too, but I don't judge...

I haven't played it yet, either. I'm more or less of the same opinion as Gizmo, and it's just not one I was dying to play too quickly- I'm sure I will eventually, though.

Who ever said mindless fun was a problem? lol, plenty of games that fit that category but they still get a lot of play =).

I don't know....I'm not big on the 'origins' and the way they teach it and all that. Or how close together the two events are between expressing gratefulness for all our blessings and then tramping people to death over a fair deal on an iPhone. But I do enjoy the sentiment of expressing...
