That and there are a lot of people on unemployment or on minimum wage, which makes paying the minimums looks good when you can't pay the max every month.
(I use to pay the max every month until such time as I could not and stand to be able to keep paying monthly expenses over a longer period of time. So one coasts at minimums until one gets employed again, and yet remains able to survive like one was use to while working). Also there is an assurance that it will be paid off...eventually. Before it was just the intrest and you would never pay it off.

This is a bit disturbing.
Rainbow 6 Patriots Announced, Coming in 2013 http://www.maximumpc.com/article/gam...ed_coming_2013 What's Ubisoft trying to say here? "In a nutshell, the new threat believes that “the American government is irrevocably corrupted by greedy politicians and corporate special interests,” an extreme viewpoint that will predictably force Team Rainbow to “make tough ethical decisions.” That's right, Jedis, you're not the only ones who can do that." Pardon me, but that sounds awfully like the Occupy Wallstreet, and Tea Party movements and what this new video game looks like is corporate propaganda. I hope I'm wrong.

I dislike when corporations pull these kinds of stunts just to make a buck. It gives verbal ammunition to politicians to call for the regulation of video games. We've seen that kind of nonsense before over games like Grand Theft Auto, Doom (back in the 1990s), and Silent Hill.
