Upgrades

posted in Rants/Soap boxes |

I just read a blog on how there is a new game system coming out at the end of the year.  My first thought was great now DP will want this one too.  I swear I hate game systems.  I mean how many do we need?  How many times are they going to upgrade a system that you have to go out and spend a few hundred dollars on?  Can’t they make one really nice one that allows updates from home and you can play all systems games on?  It’s always this is better and now you can do this.  Can’t they make it a little easier too, like turn in your old system and get a big credit on the new one?  You know the type of credit that actually makes it worth it?  I am sure there are stores out there that do that, but I think they should make it easier.  It’s like every time I turn around I have to pay for an update or upgrade.  I am so sick of them it’s not funny.  Companies are just looking to make a fortune and for everyone else to go broke.  I don’t get it.  I spent a good bit of money on my GPS and it’s in need of an update.  Well, if I want the update I have to spend basically what I paid for life time updates or half for a one time update.  It’s insane.  I mean come on now.  I bought your product which I have a love hate relationship with because the thing loves to make me hate it and yet I won’t part with it.  But at those prices it’s almost worth it to buy a whole new system.  Oh and you can be sure I won’t buy yours again.  I will check them all out and find the one I want this time and not just the one that is available at the time.  It’s so annoying how people all want you to upgrade and tell you how better it is but what if I am happy with what I have now?  Why do we need to feel like we have the best of everything with top of the line items?  There are times I think when it’s okay to want the best.  But seriously, I think the people that make all this crap forget about the little people who can’t afford to buy every upgrade or update.  Some people really do have to save to buy things.  We need to stop trying to live up to others and be happy with what we have.  Companies need to realize that some things should be included with purchase and think about what people really need and find a way to make it happen.
