Re: U.S internet?
Eh, thats going to cost then, wonder what the price tag on that is. 
Being a gamer is becoming ever so damn expensive. Seems to me like the console makers are forgetting who their target is. |

I was kind of pissed when a good portion of the writing on some games was unreadable.

Having everything on the same box, you might have to choose between watching/recording a show or movie, or playing that game.
Then, for family's, mom or dad wants to watch their shows, or let the kids play a game  |

@capgroup.com | We have 3 TVs in a 3 person household (mom, dad, son), and its still an issue - dad has to send mom to the bedroom to watch TV while dad gets his 360 fix  |

When the SNES came out in 1990, it was $200, considering minimum wage has almost DOUBLED since then what does that say about the price of consoles? Interestingly, in 1985, the NES also cost $200, and years later, the N64 was released for $200. All those came with a single controller and a single game, just like the base system does today.
The prices haven't gone up, you're just discovering how much your parents spent on you when you were a kid. |

I can say that the issue went away after the upgrade to a HDTV.

The averge income in 1980 was $15,000 a year. |
