Just got a PS3... Yes I've gone to the other side!

Recommended Posts

Good deals are hard to pass up so I finally caved in and purchased a shiny new PS3. As an Xbox 360 gamer its like going to dark side for me or cheating on your wife (if you have one).

At least it lives happily next my Xbox 360 ;) And doesn't look out of place either.

I guess over the next few months I'll find out which console gets the most use.

PS3 doesn't get that many exclusives to justify buying it if you already have an Xbox 360 in my opinion. Aside from that the games and such are all the same, well apart from the Microsoft concept of "premium" DLC where the Xbox gets it for a few months before everyone else, that sucks. But w/e.

320GB Console, Need for Speed Shift and Infamous and a 3M HDMI cable for $679, the place I purchased it from normally has them for $779, the sales person gave me $100 off and then added Infamous for free :thumbsup: Average price in NZ for the 320GB is $699 and that's with out any games or HDMI cables.

I have neither.

That's true. But the 360 can't play Gran Turismo 5 when it gets released at the end of November.

Metaphorically, of course! :P

I'm considering to buy a Wii soon, only because of the new Golden Eye.

I still do not have a 360 or a PS3. I feel proud of myself. I have a Wii and a DS. yay Nintendo!

I've never owned a Nintendo console, its always been SEGA, Sony and Microsoft over the years.

I disagree on the Console Exclusiveness of the XBOX. PS3 has some great exclusives like Uncharted, Killzone, Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet, MGS and the list goes on. Out of these Uncharted is one of the best games I've played. I have been a heavy PC gamer until about 3 months ago, but most of the PS exclusives are really good.

I've never owned anything other than Nintendo until about a year ago when my friend gave me a Dreamcast he acquired (because he already had one).

 

I'm not really into consoles though...

Dreamcasts? Seag Saturns? What is the fascination with all these really old consoles?

Fascinated? My friend got the Dreamcast as part of a deal for a huge pile of games, and I got the thing from him for free.

The fascinating is that the old crap never dies. I have 2 Nintendo 64 that are still fully functional. Most impressive is that it never takes time to load anything, unlike new consoles.

Really old? You don't even know what really old is, you silly gaming noob.

Too bad their controllers didn't last as long... They should have made some high quality versions with metal joysticks, I would buy some of those...

It's not a standard controller though, is it? The regular ones' joysticks wore out in a year or two with only moderate use.

Standard controller, bought one month after the N64's release. It has seen extremely heavy use since I bought it.

Only one of my four controllers is a bit worn down, but it's still fully functional.

Someone gave me their old bunch of ps1 games (mostly scratched) and console but missing the av cable. I went to a second hand shop to buy the cable but ended up buying a a complete ps1 package for just AUD$10. PS2 was so cheap too... but I could never bring myself to pay over $500 for a console... let alone a second or third console.
