    Now it's probabbly not a great idea to put the faith of 500 quid in the hands of people I barely know,but what's the harm in hazarding it. :o
    So I've come into a bit of money (I won't go into the legality of it's origin)
    and I was thinking about indulging in one of my more active hobbies,gaming.
    500 euro is the maximum amount that I am willing to spend. So here's the dilema that's had me at logger heads for the past few days.

    Do I invest the money by...

    (a) Buying a 120GB hard drive for my xbox 360,and pigging out on DLC.

    (b) Getting a PS3 (this one is a little more extreme,I grant you) keeping in mind that almost all games I have bought in the past 2 years have been for a 360 and with the exception of PS3 exclusives,I cannot even hope to build up a games library of the same size. Unless I pointlessly buy PS3 versions of 360 games that I own. :confused:

    (c) Wasting the lot on hookers,blow,jenkem,class A narcotics and a mini-bike.

    Please,discuss.

    Seeing as you already have a 360 go for the PS3, plenty of good games now out and more on the way, not to mention most of the early titles can be had now for 25/30 euro, that's the way to go.

    And MGS4 is pretty essential for anyone who calls themselves "gamer", epic stuff.

    I don't even know what Jenkem is, but c) definitely sounds like the winner!

    C, you will appreciate the memory's.

    Why would you even need to ask?

    C is the answer.

    Replace "gamer" with "film buff" and you've got it right.
    It's not worth buying a ps3 at this point. Especially if you already have a big 360 collection. Can't see the point of the hard drive upgrade so it's gotta be C.

    I'm pretty sure i've seen better films than MGS4 and at a fraction of the price.

    Anyway, it's a moot point, the answer is still C

    For €500, you can get a decent PS3 bundle with a few games. There are some very good exclusives out for it at the moment, including MGS4, Uncharted and WarHawk.

    The Arcade on the 360 has some brilliant games but tbh most of them are fluff. You can still download the cream of the crop and still have plenty left over.

    Seeing as the concensus is C, then who am I to argue? C ftw!

    C, obviously. But:

    Ehhh, on second thoughts, maybe not so much of the Jenkem:
    Jenkem is an alleged hallucinogenic recreational drug composed of noxious gas formed from fermented human feces

    Drop the mini bike and Jenkem and go with c

    you won't get many hookers with 500 yoyos. Unless you just take the services of handjob hannigan behind the trainstation, she's lowered her prices since whe's been getting on a bit.

    Not that I'd know or anything.

    Option X go out and buy a new graphics card and join the PC gamer master race.

    There's a man after my own heart. Go to Amsterdam. Once you get there, look in the airport for the fellow holding a sign saying "coke and strippers - this way".

    P.S. Be prepared at some stage for someone to try harvest your kidneys when your really out of it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,012 ✭✭✭✭Cuddlesworth


    You could answer that age old mystery of whether or not it is possible to bang a hooker while tripping off your face trying to drive a mini-bike. Although I'm sure if you looked long enough you could find somebody on here who has tried it.
