Apparently Shoeless Hobo can't wrap his head around the concept of buying a console now with plans to play it a lot more later.

Why wait? She can buy a PS3 now (maybe even the 80 gig limited edition MGS4 bundle) and play the game she wants to play without waiting, and then when new games come out she wants, she can play those too. Why bother to wait? What good will that do? What's the difference between spending the money now or spending it later other than the fact that she can get a better version of the console with the limited edition of the game she wants now?
