You sound like one of those guys that likes to hang out at the local Gamestop for hours at a time, chatting up the annoyed sales staff and critiquing annoyed customers on their purchases.
I don't give a shit about what morons who I don't know do of their cash, when going to such places I don't say a word apart when I'm paying for something at the counter.
At this point I think I'll just lend him mine and Super Shitfest Brawl and keep showing him great next-gen PS3 and 360 titles through the summer, who knows, maybe it'll make a diff.
At least all's not bleak with him, he's a huge SNK and Atlus fan, he has many games like Baroque, Persona 3, Digital Devil Saga 2 and the like... but unfortunately also a lot of gay japafag RPGs like Atelier Iris 3 and Mana Khemia... YES, that one I keep see being referenced on this board without knowing what the hell it is.
He was very happy to learn that Persona 4 would probably come out soon in english and on PS2.
