Buy an older one off Amazon for $8.

No wonder people are rioting over there, COD4 is cheap here.
Besides, regardless of the entertainment as a necessity thing, it could have been a gift for all we know. Poor people have birthdays and Christmas too.
And like I said before, its a pretty lousy double standard we have that poor people as a whole are not responsible and we should have a say and judge them on how they spend their money, but young kids getting grant and loan money at age 18 spending a lot of it on binge drinking is considered normal and pretty much expected.
I rely a lot on grant money, and no one says a word to me when I treat myself to something like a video game.
