When he traded his Xbox 360, everybody called him an idiot.

Now that he wants one back, I guess this is proof that only idiots use Xbox 360.

Or that he's just an idiot AND indecisive. Ever think of that?

Of course not. You thought of an opportunity to... well, I guess it isn't trolling, sort of. An opportunity to ass, I suppose. As in, attempt to make an ass of other people, and (in my eyes) make an ass of yourself.

Don't feel bad, it happens quite frequently.

Dude, honestly... The Wii Has disappointed me in every way possible. If I ever get around to play with mine it feels like I'm playing with a child's toy. I truly hope nintendo's new console will revive that nintendo love I used to have.

I do too. He had a job, so why didn't he just save his money. Also, MGS 4 isn't what I would says is a good reason to trade in a 360. I'm either buying my own, or getting my parents to get me one for christmas. But not for MGS 4. Disgaea 3 and Resistance. Maybe MGS 4

Is it wrong that I knew that the article's picture was from a MTG card instantly? I guess it is OK since I don't remember exactly what card it was or what it did...but damn, that is sick nerdy.

And, I guarantee that this is one of the people who thought FFXIII was going to be a PS3 exclusive and system seller. Maybe Valkyria Chronicles as an exclusive will be instead...

This is why I don't take journalists seriously (I was going to put "anymore" but I realized I never took them seriously). Anecdotal stories don't equate to reality. Sure, they may when you get lucky now and again, but seriously, just because you see it and report it, that doesn't make it true.

This is why I like bloggers, they don't pretend their opinions are fact.

Google says that she has "A Refined Sense of Sensuality" and it will cost me a mere $600 for a 1hour hello. I've booked her and asked her to bring her sons PS3 with her.

Lol, they couldn't have been that good friends if he traded them in for a PS3, lol, when you trade in your 360, you don't just trade that in, you trade your points worked day in day out for, you trade in people you called friends you trade in a portion of your life. Lol, exaggeration, but the first 2 were true.

I bet if he goes back and gets a 360 and adds his so called mates, they reject him, "Traitor!!!!"

I never sold a game or a console when i was kid. Granted, i didn't have that many games, but i enjoyed what i had. Even now, i never sell my games, i do my research on what and what not to buy. That goes for consoles, too.

With all the money he's probably lost trading consoles back and forth, he could have just bought all of them and enjoyed each for their own worth.

Kid should keep the PS3 and save for a new 360 pro(price cut yay!)

Seriously PS3 and 360 both rock in their own way. So long as little Billy here doesn't trade his 360 or his PS3 or whatever he has for a fucking Wii. THEN he'll be an idiot.

First of all, we're dealing with the thought process of a 12 year old, and an adult who jumps to conclusions based on the behavior of their offspring. This is hardly scientific.

Kids change their minds and get bored with their stuff all the time. Happens to everyone. Doesn't make you a prophet.
