It is not your words that are themselves incorrect; it is the thoughts your words express that are an inaccurate assessment of reality. I am 65 years old; I have a very small fixed retirement income; I have financial responsibilities that you do not have; I have a very different set of priorities and value judgements from those you have. The idea that you could offer accurate and valuable financial advice to me or anyone else who is significantly different from you in their place in life and in their character is just invalid.

Tell me then without al that stuff, is it worth you 400-500 dollars,maybe that money should be going elsewhere if you cant afford an extra 15 a month for internet.

yes ones reality certainly is not everyones reality, BUT if you own a PS3 chances are you have some sort of internet to support it, simple as that. which means making it download only doesnt really take out a majority at all, due to the fact that most people with PS3 probably have internet with it. and if your young, you can ask mom or dad to get you the game if you give them the money, so they can use their card. and if your 18+ and you still dont have a debt. or credit card...you neeed to see a bank and/or establish some credit for yourself, your not a kid forever
