Doug Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 How often do you use your console? I use mine for casualy. Edit: Pressed null void... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Right now, I don't own a TV, so never. Hell, even when I still had a TV, I hadn't touched my systems in at least a year. So I'll go with "never." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I play video games sporadically. I'll play a game for a long burst then it peters out for a bit until it pick back up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I use mine every once in a while. My son's on it way more often than I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Casually. Like, weekends only. At best. Stupid school. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I use my 360 fairly frequently because I love Rock Band and GH: Metallica, but I don't use it every day because of work and whatever else. I also play my DS a good bit. Pokemon Platinum is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I probably power it on four or five times a week. That may change with UFC Undisputed hits next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Note: I'm counting using the console for gaming. I'll use it to watch DVDs more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Note: I'm counting using the console for gaming. I'll use it to watch DVDs more often than not. Same. I play my 360 every couple of days and my Wii gathers dust for weeks before I play it sometimes, I just don't have enjoy doing the controls sometimes.

Guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Ever since I lost the ability to waste time on the internet, I've been dropping a good 5 hours or so a day, and finishing a lot of games that I never got around to before, so yeah, a lot. In order of most frequent use: PS2 Dreamcast Saturn XBox SNES The rest I only use once in a blue moon. When I had a 360, it was used almost as much as the PS2. If just playing music counts, I use my PSP more than all the others combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Three times a week, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I play my consoles when I have good games to play that haven't gone stale on me. Which isn't all that often. Also, my seventeen-year-old TV can't show the HD-reliant 360 games, so I can't play the games that are text-heavy or need a great degree of detail.

S-T Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I was prepared to spend a few hours gaming last night, after I went to the store and bought a used game yesterday. I'm going to take it back and get a refund, and I haven't even bothered playing it. The game is a "demo disc." Um, I want the full game, please. D'oh! Mistakes happen. I do want my money back though. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Can shops even sell demo discs? They're not supposed to, but what often happens is that a customer will take advantage of lazy game store employees and trade in a demo disc, pretending it's the full game. Said employee, simply looking at the game title and not the giant "RP-Rating Pending" symbol, or the "this is a demo disc" text, and give them the credit of the actual game for the trade in. People try it more than you'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a store policy that they don't take them, but yeah, sometimes they slip in. As long as they're not "officially" allowed to be bought/sold, then GS and the rest can stay on good terms with the big three companies.

Guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Yeah, it's against store policy. There are actually SKUs for certain more popular demos, but more often than not, they don't take them. As for legality, that's never really stopped them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told they got it from "corporate." Given how things can slip through the cracks with large corporations, it wouldn't surprise me. But somehow I doubt it. Even if the store got cheated, they messed up a second time because the discs are kept in a large drawer, and the boxes on the shelf. They had to pull the disc and put it in the box, and didn't see the big "RP" on the disc. I didn't notice it until I get home. It doesn't matter. Mistakes get made. No harm done.
