I could tell! You've managed to get all those Pokémon cartridges, didn't you? Including Green version? That takes a lot of dedication; don't know if I'd personally be able to accomplish such a thing, haha. Well, most of these games for 360, though, so this and PS3 are both similar in some way. Only thing major is that you can't play any PlayStation-exclusive game on it, such as... Jak and Dexter. XD I don't really remember what I bought mine for. Probably peer pressure. Most people I knew had this system, which caused me to get one, too. If it weren't for that, then I most likely have bought a PS3 instead. Halo--I don't really like that game. :( I love FPS but this one just doesn't have the same feel.
Oh, I see. I personally think it's a good thing when people don't get to see their loved ones all that often. It makes them miss those people, causing them to love them even more. =)
