Personally, I never buy a game unless I think it's something that I want to keep.
I don't either. However, I'm one who has a hard time justifying 60 dollars for a game either way. However, I'm usually not one in a rush to get the latest and greatest so I just wait a couple years, buy the game for $15 and still play it the 60 hours or so. It's all an issue of how much you're willing to hold out for though.
Publisher's must hate me though.
until recently it was illegal to publish pictures of dead soldiers to quell public outrage. Had we seen daily pictures of dead soldiers on TV for seven years, the public acceptance would have been far lower and diminished far faster than it did.
Sorry for being sensitive to the families of the dead soldiers and not letting the corpses of their dead sons be posted everywhere in "stop the war" posters.
Now, yeah the news is a farce. They split us down the middle every 4 years to turn the nation against one another, simplifying our political decisions into an us versus them, red versus blue game.
I always saw it used as the American Idol for the news networks myself.
