Hmm, let's see. Extortionate costs for a clinic to cure me of an addiction I welcome, or spending that on upholding the addiction? I recently ordered a PSP giga pack, 6 PSP games, 4 DS games, 2 Xbox games, 2 GC games and a PS2 game. And a wireless internet adaptor. My choice is reasonably clear.

You are beyond help. the DS Lite and New Super Mario Bros comes out in a matter of weeks. you'll probably WASTE all your money on that as well!

I'd call that clinic ASAP if I were you.

You say that as if my DS isn't on the desk with me, and New Super Mario Bros isn't already pre-ordered. =P

Interesting to see this been taken serioulsy, Game addiction is far more serious than some people realise, especial MMORPG addiction.

I would like to see Warnings stating the addictive nature of MMORPG's and also warning about the lenght of time needed to complete things, informing people that a quick run in Molten Core is gonne be an easy 3- 6 hours. oh and one unhappy spouse ;)

Any warning is probably going to draw more attention, sales and addicts than not. Same way that a BBFC18 rating draws in the kids, because it's cool to play adult games, just like its (apparently) cool to smoke and drink when you're a teenager.
