Hey, could be worse, could be another Street Fighter V scenario.

Honestly I hate to be that guy but th current gen systems aren't a HUGE investment, even if you punch pennies. Stop eating Mcdonalds. Stop getting Starbucks. Stop doing whatever dumb shit will save you 400 bucks over the coarse of a month and get into a current gen system. Saving isn't hard. Sell those old ass outdated systems and score a quick 50-75. Boom. Big chunk.

It's not hard to find ways if you really want something. The PS3 and the 360 are dead. Move the hell on, folks.

thank you. I made these points a long time ago. If you really want something you will sometimes have to make sacrifices for it.

TitanFall Xbox 360 delay announcement, March 19th.
That version of the game was originally schedule for March 25th.
They waited six days before release to tell people that they had to wait until April 8.

Figured you should know that.

Yes get an Xbox One and treat yourself to not only MKX, but the other best fighting game in the world.... KI!

This.

Try to obtain 300-400$ without job and with only one month.

If I know that only I can play MKX in PS4 or Xbox One months ago, I will already have a PS4/XBO.

Now? Pretty fucked

If you have a 360 or PS3, sell them! There is your first chunk down. Games laying around? Sell them. Another 20 bucks. Sell them as a bundle on Craigslist, maybe 100$ or more. There are ways. Trust me. I was jobless in 2011 for MK9 and managed to still find ways to get all 3 editions of the game.

If this is true, it means I won't even bother looking at this site for months. I don't want spoilers, now do I? Also just another reason to wait for the “Komplete” edition with all the DLC I won't be able to get beforehand anyway.



I'm sorry, is your name GodIsNotHere or WhatIsMyProblem?
This thread has plenty of legitimate reasons for some of us to not jump to new-gen.

I don't eat McMurder Burgers or drink Starschmucks. I eat discount bread rolls and drink instant coffee because I am pinching pennies just to get by. My rent is astronomical. It's the price I pay for moving away from a death-hole scum-town that was literally suffocating my life-force. Guess what? This year i'm going back to college to improve my life, something I never could have even considered before.

Sell my old consoles? No! Why would I after investing so much time and effort into gaming on them. Just from an MK standpoint, without my Wii I couldn't play MKA, without the Gamecube I couldn't play MKDA or MKD (which I still do sometimes when i'm in the mood for the games that started my love for the series in the first place). No Xbox original would mean no MKI, II, 3 or SM, and no XB360 would mean no MKvsDC or MK9. I'm not about to throw away those hard-earned achievements when it's much simpler to buy one game rather than invest in a whole new console just for that one game. I;m seriously not interested in anything else.

That gen is so not 'dead'. All my consoles work really well, and on consoles where backwards compatibility is not always automatic (even though it damn well should be) i'd rather keep and look after my own property.

If you hate to be “that guy”, then don't be. You're coming off as a pressurising douche. Yes, there are legitimate reasons why new-gen will be better than previous-gen, but just not enough for you or anyone else to get on a high horse and start preaching to everyone else about what to do with their money. /rant

Meh. You can think I'm a douche all you want. Just offering ideas up for those of you who WANT to play on new consoles. If you like decade old hardware, so be it. Don't get your panties in a bunch because we like current gaming trends, m'lady. And yes, that generation is indeed dead. Sure your consoles work just fine. Doesn't mean content is going to continuing to be published for them. My NES works great too. But I went ahead and got a SNES when the time came. But yes, that's totally douchey of me.

Pretty sure you just called a dude m'lady

US$400 for next generation system in the USA does not mean that in every other country that it is equivalent.

In the UK a Playstation 4 is at Amazon is £324. £324 is not US$400. It is about US$500.

I am lucky enough that I have a very well paid job and other income sources but your post comes of as presumptious and disrespectful for those that legitimately can not afford a next generation system.

Yeah, I doubt I'll even be able to afford an X-Bone or a PS4 anytime soon if ever. Luckily my 360 still works fine

Act like a moody lady, get called a lady.

Check out Amazon's Trade-In program.

I sold my PS3 and all my games for $300. Sold my PS Vita back to Amazon (used Amazon Trade-In program) and got $85 for it. Sold my four Vita games and got another $25. Sold some other things on Craigslist that were just laying around the house.

Next thing I know, I have enough for a PS4 and the Kollector's Edition. Absolutely NO money came out of my pocket.

If you want a PS4, get rid of your PS3. That thing will just sit around and depreciate in value the longer you hold onto it. And when you get a PS4, you'll never go back and play your PS3 again...no matter what you tell yourself now.

Go door-to-door in your neighborhood and mow some lawns. It feels good having a goal and watching your profits steadily increase and get closer and closer to that goal amount.

You can get a PS4 in 1 month if you really want to.

Careful with your solid advice, they'll bring out the antiquated pitchforks.

I suppose I should ask....Why does it personally matter to some people that a complete stranger they don't know and have never even met nor will likely ever meet wants to buy a game for an outdated console? It's just a game. If they want to cheap out, just let 'em. That's their right as much as it is your right to buy the next gen version and enjoy everything it has to offer.

And seriously, can we just have one, JUST ONE, thread on this site that isn't about people bitching each other out over something? It's givin' me the rage.

Kinda, lol

It doesn't matter at all. Everyone is getting it twisted. Just simply trying to shed light on ways they can upgrade should they choose. I just want everyone to experience the game as it should be so I was expressing possibilities. Homegirl took it as me being a cock.

then maybe you should stop calling someone by the wrong gender if you wanna be taken seriously, lol

And how are you so sure of their gender? Jeez you people are so uptight.

I'm as chill as they come, I just don't like antagonizing my fellow forum members in any way unless they're trolls.

Not trying to antagonize brother. Maybe I got defensive. My apologies. This has been derailed. Final thoughts - if someone wants to play the old gens, then yay! If they want a new gen console, there are options. End convo. Love you all. Muah.

That's the spirit!

I just found out that I have to spend 140 grand a year on meds so I certainly won't be purchasing a new console any time soon. The only reason I'm still getting MKX for PS3 is because I have a gift card.

Idc what people choose to buy. Its the fact people are ranting and complaining because nrs aren't catering to old hardware. They are trying to make the best game possible. By doing that they must focus what's currently the best out. And its like you people feel insulted by that. The current gen collectors editions sold out while current gen ones are still on sale. By now im pretty sure majority of the game community has moved on.
