What? I'm poor as hell and I have that stuff. A hardcore gamer isn't someone who gets that stuff, but if you want to define it that way, I'd say it's someone who sacrifices other stuff in favor of games. Like that time I got Xenogears from the US on import - cost £60, which was around $100 at the time's exchange rate. So I saved the heck up, forewent other entertainments, and yeah. (That's not a lot of scratch now, but when you're 12 it is xD)
