Check out the "video reviews" on this product from people who had purchased the product previously. One of the vid's features some 40 year old "Pro Gamer"! lol

HDMI sucks. You can get 1080p on component. Analog audio all the way!

Hate to break it to you but most gamers are 30 or over.

#3.. It's funny you said that.
Once, I visited my friends house and I saw a 50ish-year-old father playing WoW like a mad man... lol

Well #5, they must be the easy ones I get to frag all the time. Target practice is a good thing.

Believe it or not the over-50 crowd is one of the biggest sales demographics for the Wii console.

Just get a PS3 without a hard drive and BAM! PS3 for less than an XBox 360.

I know someone who's been buying broken 360's on ebay then buying a new 360 at Fry's. He takes the panel with the s/n off the new one and places it in the broken one, then returns the broken one to Fry's for a full refund. Then he turns around and sells the new one at a discounted price. Of course, the warranty is no good since it has the s/n from the bad one, but I doubt he mentions that. Seems like a lot of work to me, but he's been clearing $100 per box and seems happy with his little system. People do crazy things, but maybe that's just what happens when there are that many bad ones out there.
