Now that the PS2 is dying...

Post by RyaNtheSlayA »

Ive noticed great deals starting to pop up, Grand Theft Auto Trilogy (3,Vice,Andreas), Metal Gear Collection, Midnight Club Collection, Bros. In Arms Collection, Call of Duty Collection, MoH Collection... and the list goes on, I wish other consoles did this when they were dieing, releasing packs of 2-5 games for the price of one. Its awesome. I just got the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy tonight, next week I plan to get the Metal Gear Pack before 4 comes out, and mabe the Need for Speed Collection, whats your opinion? I think its a great example to set for future dying consoles, then again, mabe other consoles did this and I am just to young to remember :P

This is off-topic, but...

I'm just curious... How do you afford all of these games if you're only 14? Do you have some kind of a job or something? Or are your parents willing to buy all this stuff for you?

This is in no way intended to sound insulting or condescending. I'm genuinely curious.

hey ryan....it's dying.
I really dig the fact that there has been alot of cool comps and old school re-issues for the ps2. Its the reason why I bought the system. And they just released the SNK Arcade classics, which was the best 14 dollars I've spent in a while.

thats all i gots to say.

I have a job at the local GameQuest, its family owned and my father has known the family for a long time; so they gave me a job there. I spend my time in the back putting on case mods and recording stock :). Im gonna have to quit soon though, there is no way in heaven Im walking 20 miles to the store once we move, I could ride my bike but thats still a very long commute. It already takes me about 20-30 minutes on bike where I live now frankly.

Oh and sorry for the typos in my original message, I was tired and kind of in a rush to get to bed.

EDIT: My dad does give me limited access to his paypal account though, 50 dollars a month. Also if your wondering, why isnt he saving up for a car, college etc. I do save up for college but I already payed my dad for his car when I turn 16 (Nissan 300zx 5000 bucks) :D

You can do 20 miles on a bike in 30 minutes?

Is it rocket powered?

It takes me 30 minutes to drive 24 mile from University to home...

Do you realize how lucky you are? It doesn't matter how much money I have, my family tels me I can't buy anything that isn't a tank. The 300ZX is my dream car buy the way, is yours the first version or the newer kind?
