It's not always about if one COULD. I could, but I'm also a cheapskate. And these prices are neither fair nor fun. It's just greed. So fuck them until prices go down again. If ever.

I will only upgrade if the current things catches fire or eats my food.

Yeah, even with my disposable income, I don't dispose of it indiscriminately. I try to get maximum value out of my fun.

Exactly. Bang-for-bucks-ratio must be good or i'm not interested. No matter how much i want it or how much money i could throw at it.
