I have a nephew that made it to fourteen and didnt know how to pump up a bicycle tire. We are not talking about a stupid kid. Its just that he never played outside much. I think we need to wave the banner of how bad it is to never do anything but play the PS3. Dont get me wrong I have one and they are great, but how stale and stagnant life must be when everything you do is simulated on a console. Step up to full resolution kid! Do something real. Look if you dent it, it stays there permanently. How cool is that? If you break this then you have to fix it yourself. No reset button. Awesome. And after you work on it you get dirt on yourself. Even some up under your nails. Cant do that on the Sux Box.
