Video game player + DVD = 2-in-1 dealio + smart shopper


The PS3 and X-box.

While watching a movie at my boyfriend's house, who uses a X-box in place of a DVD player, I realized what a trend it is for many of the male species to use video game software as their movie entertainment centers.

'Tis an economical way to save money.

And isn't that a technological trend right now? Get the most bang for your buck.

Despite the economic downfall, people are still buying long-term technology devices that can be used for more than one purpose. For example, computers haven't decreased dramatically in sales because they are an investment that will last people a long time and serve their personal, business and entertainment needs.

This consumer report says DVD and video game players have little price difference, but with a game player you get a two for one.

Condense, consolidate and cut costs. Get as many uses out of one device as you can.

I guess if you're interested in video games, then it seems efficient to go through the player.

Girls kind of get the short end of the stick though since most don't like video games enough to invest in a Playstation - the popular alternative to X-box.

I'm not a video game fan and don't have enough money to justify spending dollar bills on a one-purpose unit of technology, so I stick to using my computer.

A minuscule 15-inch, but it does the trick.
