Change descriptions of subforums

[desocietas]

Oh, just noticed that we should probably change the description field of the Modern Video Games subforum:
Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP and Modern PC gaming. New fangled contraptions and motion gaming... fiddle-sticks!

Good point!

I suppose it is about time 3DS, XBone, PS4, and WiiU were added....  On a related note, when does one drop last gen from the race?  When gamestop decides to stop carrying them~?  That is about a purest answer that I can think of....

[soera]

Yeah those need to be added. As far as when gen would change, that would probably be a fitting answer or at least when Wal-Mart/Best buy stop carrying them.

The only issue I have with that is they will carry stuff until it sells....  I saw gamecube games at a walmart even this past holiday season near me still....  Granted they were crap....  Gamestop will run there buy 2 get 1, and buy 1 get 1 subsequently then shift all stock to a few specific stores until it is all gone....  So the majority of locations will clear out all of their stuff in the same week....  This makes it easier to judge a specific time when it is "Dead" as a current platform....  Also, right after Gamestop ceases carrying a platform is when, traditionally, the prices for rarer games on said console start to rise....  I remember the holiday season when Gamecube games all basically doubled due to that....

Ya, I need to do that. If I can remember how to get into the back end of the forum. :\
