Oh yes..the PS3 in the house? That was purchased by him on a whim, because he'd been told how "cool" the games were for it. Well, he ended up hating all the games for it, and it sat, un-used on his tv stand for over a year, before I finally took it and started using it for streaming Netflix in the living room. Did that after I had to cancel cable, because he wasn't keeping up on that bill either.
I remember how mad I was about the 360, he bought it because of Fable. 3 weeks before Christmas.
And I feel the same way about video games a lot of the time too.
