Ultimate ultimatum: Xbox360 or girlfriend

the breakup - Image 1It’s a typical gamer dilemma. A guy over at the Gamespot forums is in a sticky situation. His non-gamer girlfriend has given him an ultimatum: get rid of the X360 or she walks.

He’s asking fellow gamers for advice, which does he keep? His beloved 360 or his beloved? He tried getting her into games by buying Viva Pinata for their anniversary. The thing is, non-gamer girlfriend apparently has terrible motion sickness and he got addicted to it instead. To the point of thinking about Fudgehogs when he’s with her.

It’s an iffy subject, and we couldn’t help thinking whether the girlfriend’s annoyance with his attachment to the console is reasonable or not. Maybe he could try playing less, or playing when she’s not around. Or he could just take her to dinner and talk about reaching a midpoint somewhere.

Well, what do you guys think? Should he dump the girl or the 360? We’d love to hear what you have to say.
