well I walked in EB games today to buy MP3(amzing game).Up at the register was a old man that looked like he was in his mid 80s. He was buying a premium 360,Bioshock,R6V,and crackdown.Plus this man put $30 on Halo3! I just laughed and hoped that when Im that age Ill be like that guy.....buying and playing some of the best games to date.
It does happen. I was in EB a few days ago and this 60 year old guy was asking about Fable 2. Anways me and him got a talking, and he owns a 360. He says he buys at least 2 games a month.
Haha i hope i'm still playing games at that age aha and that they alll havent been banned 'cos Chu Chu Rocket wasn't exactly 'grown-up' for me haha :S
But yah if it was for his grandkids [which...aren't really grand, considering it's meant to determine an elderly age :S I'm sure haha, one of lifes great mysterys? haha Me thinks] hes one loved grandad i'm sure haha ^_^
[QUOTE="brandonB13"]yeah but........what if was for him? Heh HEh HEh I win!VetteMan85
It wasn't. You lose.
You really can't say that and be sure, yes 80 is a grand old age to be playing games but still it happens.
Anyways, it is still Summer! Christmas, isn't around the corner. Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, Halo 3, etc are around the corner, Christmas is around the corner after that.
My friend showed his WWII veteran grandpaCoD 2, he went out the next day and bought a 360 and CoD 2 for himself.kylet6891
Yeah because reliving one of the most traumatic moments of your life in video game form is just awesome.
Veterans were in tears or worse when watching Saving Private Ryan, and I can't imagine someone playing a game based on WWII. It would be an insult to them that people are being entertained by what many of their friends died for.

It wasn't. You lose. Listen to him because he knows for sure. :roll:
Vetteman is kind of a know-it-all prick Actually, not kind of: he just is. Just because you think it wasn't for him doesn't mean it wasn't. I'd also guess that mid-80's was kind of a high estimate, and that stuff was probably for him. You know how I can tell? He bought several games that received good reviews. Every time I ask for a gaming related item from a non-gaming adult, I never get good stuff. He obviously knows what's going on in the gaming world.
The average age for Gamers nowis 30 something so it isn't hard for me to believe this. If the guy's mind is still sharp and his hands still work at that age good for him.In your 80's though a lot of things stop working right so most likely it wasn't for him, or the TC was exageratingabout how old he really was.
I doubt he was buying the games for someone else, or else he would'ent have preordered halo 3. If he was buying it for someone else his grand-son should be greatfull his grand-dad has such great taste when it comes to action games :D
Grandparents spoil their grand children, trust me.. My grandpa bought me a car, laptop, sound system, ps2, ps1, and a load of ps2 games. ( he passed away before the 360 came out. =( ) anyways granpas like to spoil their grandchildren, trussst me.
