[quote name='weaponomega2x']PS3 - $50 - Brought it on Craigslist as broken. Got it up and running in about an hour and a half. No problems so far...[/QUOTE]
Holy shit; that PS3 looks like it didn't get any TLC whatsoever. Glad to hear you got it working though
[quote name='Fire_Thief']I want to, I really do... But it's really hard for me.[/QUOTE]
I'm going to keep try to keep this short, since it's probably going to fall upon deaf ears, but seriously, stop buying shit. If you're really having such a problem that you prioritze buying last gen titles over doing your school work, you need to really take a step back and re-evaluate your situation. How about staying off the computer for a few days so you aren't tempted by cheap, old titles, and you can get some work done?
I know buying stuff probably makes you feel good, and it seems like you're also doing it for attention or something (although I don't know why, because it seems to have made 99% of the people who come in here really
ing despise you), but eventually you're going to realize how much money and energy you have wasted on all this old crap. I myself have somewhat of a spending problem (though nowhere near the degree of whatever addiction you have), but I know when to say enough is enough, and I also don't open my stuff for awhile so I can think about if I really want them or not; I usually end up a decent amount of stuff because I realize that the money could be better spent.
If you're going to habitually buy and collect a bunch of shit, at least get something that will hold it's value; I used to have a thing for jewelry (don't ask), but at least when I came to my senses, I could resell that stuff, and I didn't lose very much money. The same can't be said for games, trust me, I know; I sold off pretty much my entire collection a year or two ago (I think there might be a thread on here about it), and even though I got a decent sum of money, it was nowhere near what I put into it.
Here's what I think you should do, and you can either take it or leave it:
1) Stop buying iPhone apps; there are always games or apps you can temporarily get for free; I used to follow the CAG thread and get them for my girlfriend
2) Stop buying shitty horror movies. I'm not advocating anything, but there are other ways to get things, and you can see SICK without throwing away $4
3) Really think about what you are doing; don't purchase things right away, even if they are only 5 dollars. Give it a day or two, or at the very least, a few hours, and question what your are thinking about buying (Do I really NEED to spend any amount of money on Drake? no I don't.)
4) Give yourself a monthly limit or something; maybe start with something higher like $100 or $75 and then try to whittle that down. The point of this website is to be frugal and save money, not spend all your cash on an abundance of cheap shit.
5) JESUS CHRIST MAN, JUST STOP ALREADY
...I've typed so much, and it still doesn't seem like enough. Either way /wall-o-text

BioShock 2
)
(I am currently on vacation in South Korea). This ultimately won out due to me wanting a slim (I already have a Phatty) and the fact that I love Final Fantasy XIII. 
| That is shitty! And after some google searching nothing I can do about that. It is weird but after playing FFXIII last night for a bit I think I will be OK.
