QuoteThe wife and the daughters spent 45 minutes playing the Super Mario Maker and Mario Cart demo at BestBuy this evening.

I'd be much more inclined if I could pick it up as a second console or if it were cheaper.

How much is it selling for? You could try grabbing a lightly used one on eBay using a sniping app. It may take a couple of days but after a few tries you could net a good deal.

I must say that Disgaea 5 and Star Ocean 5 look good, but it's been awhile since I've played a good jrpg.

Star Ocean 5 is definitely on my radar.

Looking at consoles again today.  Perhaps I'll buy one this time.  Or maybe two.

Odds at Vegas are 50 - 1 that you will not purchase anything tonight.  30-1 that you'll not make a purchase this weekend.

You'd loose that bet as I'm gong to a couple of HS basketball games tomorrow, and my wife and daughter won't let me go with out pants.
