I'm a very weak person in the respect that I use the internet to spoil any kind of wonder I may have about something. For instance, I knew the whole plot and happening of The Dark Knight before I went and saw it. Did I want to be surprised? Yes. Could I resist the numerous online places describing the plot? No.
Now here's my predicament. I am a PS3 fanboy and a Metal Gear Solid fan and have not yet played Metal Gear Solid even though there have been billions of praises for the game. The reason I don't want to play it, is I saw it being played at a friends house on his big flat HDTV and the graphics were outstanding. I have since refused to play this game on an SDTV and have promised myself I'd buy a 32" HDTV sometime in the near future and until then I've sworn off certain games that I want to save for the glory of HD. Well recently I've bought a drumset ($650) and RAM ($80) and could have easily purchased a TV with that money. Another problem is that since I'm paying for college (partially with loans) I can't just go and spend all my money on an HDTV. So I've got money for it, but I can't buy it and until I can I won't be playing a lot of PS3 games that are coming out soon. My best bet would be to ask for it from the parents for Christmas but thats a lot of money and if I did get it, it would be like my only gift which is no problem. But, I like buying things for myself because I don't have to know I relied on someone else to get it. Either way, I want to play MGS!
