Is it me or is it that we are getting jipped?

I mean, when we buy a new computer its like \"state of the art\" 3 months later its obsolete technology and we gotta buy another one?

post your ideas on the matter here

It\'s sad... the constant moving cycle of evolution and progression... things that do not move and are untampered with never seem to get better. I guess, if you think about it, upgrading is quite literally the way of the future, right?
That is the way that it has to be... thus it is and it is thus. And thus. And this. :conf:

Deal with it, if that didn\'t happen technolidgy would advance at a snails pace. You don\'t need to buy every little thing. Hell, don\'t buy any new parts until your computer breaks down on you if you don\'t want to.

Yea....But isnt it upsetting that they keep us in a perpetual buying mode like that?....especially with gamers

I think it\'s actually kind of good. The alternative is us playing the same games over and over and over....

I mean, if no new systems and junk came flying onto the shelves, we\'d never make any progress. I think we\'d probably have junk like \"Street Fighter II Turbo/Hyper/Director\'s cut v2\", at least.:lol:

Not that there was anything wrong with SFII.:D;

[font=bankgothic Lt BT]The idea here is that the whole obsolecense thing is planned. They probably have much more advanced computers already made, but they\'re waiting until a few years pass to release it so they can make some cash.

Same thing with VG systems. The reason they didn\'t make them backwards compatable is so they can make some more money. Not to mention that they make the new systems to actually produce a fan base as well as product loyalty. It works, too, because I\'m a Nintendo fanboy all the way...and I have no clue why.

But like I said, they already have the technology for five years from now, they just release it when the market presents itself.
