So. I had a small argument with my girlfriend last night about whether we should get a Wii (her) or a PS3 (me). About halfway through the argument I suddenly realized I don't really want a video game system anyway. I haven't had one since the Dreamcast was discontinued, and I haven't missed having one at all. It's fun to play games at someone else's every now and then but in general they're a huge time and money suck that I just don't need. And if I do ever need a fix, I still have a fully functional Dreamcast.

Though if someone could get me one of those rock-'em sock-'em scorpion systems I wouldn't object.
