honestly, if your at the point where you can't afford food then i don't think playing a video game should take precedence over, you'know, getting a job? paying or playing a video game should be the last of your concerns if you've got bills, mortgages, kids, etc..

in NY where i live, the poverty line is making under 16k a year, and basic living costs is around 26k a year, and thats just for one person. if your anywhere near 16k or less than you need to drop what your doing and re-evaluate your situation in life if your still thinking about some unimportant game. if you are an adult and can't afford it, what do you want someone to say? your old enough to understand how the economy works at this point in your life. yeah it sucks, believe me i know, but you just gotta find a way to deal with it. if you don't feel like paying for a FULL YEAR than don't, just get a month at a time so you don't go broke, im sure they will have that option open.
