But the two I hear the most are "When will the price drop?" and "How soon do you think the next generation consoles will come out?" Although those are hard to answer it does make you stop and think. As for the "When will the price drop?" You have to realize that even though it is a high price tag, it is a good price. Let"s look at the PS3 for example, it has a blu-ray player and it costs $399 for a 40GB version. The cheapest brand blu-ray player I could find at Best Buy was $200, and that was for an off brand name. Plus you have to add in the cost of the controller, as well as the ability to play the games. Think about it, for a Gaming PC (not your regular run of the mill desktop) you are looking at well over the $399 mark, and it doesn"t have a blu-ray player. The PS3 is a good deal.

The gamerscore. Since the Xbox 360 was released in 2005, Xbox 360 users have had the gamerscore. The gamerscore is an achievement system. You can earn/unlock achievements by doing certain tasks in each game. For example, beating campaign mode on normal difficulty in Halo 3 gives you a 125 point achievement. Each achievement awards you points towards your gamerscore. For some users this gives a new sense of accomplishment. Instead of just feeling good about beating the level, it shows others you have completed the task, and gives the user bragging rights. Most gamers like their gamerscore, but lately, I have seen more and more gamers become obsessed with it. People will come and ask what games have easy achievements. In the beginning achievements were worth more, and had fewer to accomplish.

I asked what they thought of Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (since it was one they were bringing back).nbsp; The two guys replied it was childish. Irsquo;m not really into the Dragon Ball Z games was my response.nbsp; They said most girls arenrsquo;t. Most play puzzles or games like Sonic the Hedgehog. Now donrsquo;t get me wrong I do like puzzles and games like Sonic. But I hate being generalized. It drives me nuts.nbsp; So what Irsquo;m a girl.nbsp; That doesnrsquo;t mean I only play Barbie or other girlish games.nbsp; Most girls that I play online with, or know for that matter, are first person shooter, RPG, or many other genre players.nbsp; Girl gamers are everywhere, and play everything just like guys do.nbsp; We play http://pwned.com/showblog/2897/ladyluck/Gamer-Rant---Thou-Shall-Not-Generalize/
