C'mon... I just got a Playstation 3 only three  years ago... Stop trying 
to tempt me into spending another $350!

  I may check out the PC version of Elite Dangerous, though...  I'll

are controlled by people who have no real-world life and spend 18 hours 
a day in the game world helping to make the game miserable for 
casual/low level players.
