Ps3...

[fitbabits]

I'm this close to securing a PS3 for $275...

[pseudopseudo]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you - hope it comes through! :)

[pheriannath]

What flavor of PS3 would that price fetch you, kind sir?

[LarsenNET]

Good luck. Be sure to get Wipeout HD.

That would be a forty gigger, sir.

Ahhh... The man who doesn't care about PS2 games. :rolleyes:

You can upgrade a HDD so it doesn't matter size if you getting a 40GB or 80GB.

[pheriannath]

Good deal.

*snorgles his 60GB*

[Restlessavenger]

Join us... It's nice here.

Actually, smarty pants, the guy who owns a PS2 already. Shut it.

Oh yeah that was your bag. I just sold my ps2. I'd say go for it. Wipeout HD alone.

[Rogue_hunter]

$275 for the 40 GB is a good deal. When you do, make sure to add everyone!

also, join the dark side, we have waffles.

I was rather confused there for a minute. Who the fuck is James A. Young and why's he the managing editor.



But I figured you out, Fitbabits.

Your first post was figuring out who Fitbabits is. That's excellent.

Yeah, it had me confused too.

Hopefully most people keep their old names so I know who the crap everyone is.

Back on topic: good luck with that PS3. I really, really want one. But I should pay for things like, you know, rent.

[astranoir]

I've had my PS3 a bit over a month, I think. Good luck with securing such an excellent price.

[Spigot]

I am a relatively recent PS3 owner (got it around May) and while I find the retail games a little less than spectacular, I adore the PSN stuff and the PS2 backwards compatibility is worth it for me (goooo 60 giggers!)

My 360 just died about 2 weeks ago and being able to play PS2 games upscaled on my HDTV was nice enough to keep me sane until the 360 came back today. Now I'm torn between which to use. The 360 is my old favourite but the PS3 was there when I needed it. Plus the PS3 is so, so quiet...

At least you're picking one up when the games available for it are actually growing beyond the usual Uncharted/MGS4/Motorstorm trifecta.

I'm a master detective, I am.

Slim! Welcome aboard... :)

Glad to be here. Sorry things went south so badly at... the other site. On the plus side, at least here you guys really have a group at the top, which is quite appropriate for a community site.

[Banacek]

Fit, are you buying Lutheran's PS3?

That's the plan!

Damn you! I was going to buy that. If I had any money. Which I don't.

Sorry, Jesse Custer.

As hesitant as I was to purchase a PS3, it's given me a ton of gaming love.

Pixel Junk games, Insomniac games, and Disgaea 3 have made it a very nice purchase indeed.

I love mine too and I was in the same boat as you. Although I think I am the only one that bought Siren and actually enjoyed it (the ending doesn't count).

I think the hardest part for me is to buy a multiplatform game on PS3. It's like I want all one set of games on one system. <shrug>

I won't buy multiplatform games on my PS3... just won't. I only buy exclusives.

The Simpsons is the only multiplatform game I have on PS3. It's not multiplayer was the reasoning behind that buy.

[Gorvi]

Add me when you do. :)

I bought Dark Sektor or whatever for it because it was $10 and I like the demo enough to spend $10. However I am an achievement whore and not a trophy whore so almost all multi-platformers for me will be on the 360. Unless there is something that totally sets the PS3 version ahead of the 360 version, which I don't think I will ever see.

I'm drunk with power. 25 posts.

I feel the same way. But Joey doesn't because his brother has a PS3 and Call of Duty 4 (among other multi-platform games). It kind of saddens me, but it makes sense, I guess.

[blair]

I actually do it the other way around. I live in the irrational fear of my 360 blowing up (I'm still on my first). Well, that and I'm to cheap for xbox live :)

[Kielaran]

never had much want for a PS3, but for 275$, it would be hard to pass up. Best of luck.

Ja, I'm with you. I've been really happy with the multiplatform games I've bought on my PS3. Except for the shadows in GTA IV and Oblivion. They look very pixelated...

I do that too, but mostly for the controller and the interface. Hell, I've been gaming mostly on some form of that controller for a good ten years now, it's just comfortable. The online thing I mostly couldn't care about, though it's nice to know that if I want to play a game online (like LBP or WipEout HD), I can just do it.

The one multiplatform game I won't be getting for PS3 is The Orange Box (I know I'm behind). I don't buy broken games.

[Purple Santa]

Hey Fits :). If you do land that PS3...LBP...surprised no one said that yet...especially Gorvi :).

I think that may be the main catalyst behind the urge for a purchase, at least recently. ;)

I've been bumping my gums about LBP since GDC 2007...

[Blue]

Recently the only love I've been giving my PS3 is in the blu-ray department. I'm still exceptionally happy with the purchase and would do so again, but I'm finding myself doing more PS2 gaming on it than PS3. Not that that's a bad thing.

And heck, Uncharted and R&C are worth the price of admission alone. Good luck getting it!

[Purple Santa]

Yeah, but that was you as "Fits". Now you are this new guy ;)

Edit: 25 posts and now I can Blog! FTW!

[Mashidar]

I'm happy with my PS3, I only play it every now and then but there are some games that have made me enjoy it. Wipeout HD being the most recent title. Warhawk has been a great title for me as well.

[Virtual Machine]

I love my PS3. I love my 360 Elite, but i love my PS3 more... Swapped a few multi games out for the PS3 versions,and have been pleasantly surprised for the most part. The console throws out better sound, and what differences i spot in graphics are either noticably improved (Dirt, MOH: Airborne, GTA 4, Army of Two) or so close that any comparison is moot (Oblivion, R6: Vegas).

I have some kind of twisted logic behind my multi-platform purchases that even I cannot explain. I am buying considerably more for the 360 this fall than for the PS3 though - the breakdown is as follows - maybe someone can analyze the list and tell me something about myself that i don't know (being crazy is NOT something that i don't know):

Dead space - PS3
Farcry 2 - 360
Fallout 3 - 360
Call of Duty: W@W - 360
Prince of Persia - PS3

Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, and divorce court are all in there as well somewhere...

Yeah, that's true. I think our subscription just ended. Free online play is definitely an underappreciated perk of the PS3.

Joey and I hadn't used the 360 in a really long time, and we started replaying Gears last night. Man, that 360 is freakin' loud. I forgot how loud it was. :(

[Ghostbear]

I will be getting one of these bad boys before december. Can't wait to play with you guys on PSN

[el cheezer]

I got it for Father's Day (80GB MGS4 pack). I'm loving the crap out of owning one. It makes my PS2 games pretty and the PSN store has lots of great stuff.

That and I am also too cheap to pay for LIVE. I gots two kids, man. $50 a year means another box of diapers...or one more game next year, if I can get the older kid to use the can.

[Wackman3000]

While I don't give it as much gaming love as I do my PC, I do enjoy the fact that it's there and it's only going to get better in the upcoming year.

[violent]

I dig my PS3. It genuinely became a part of my media center.

I love Live, and I don't let the story of RRoD get me down. I want to upgrade but mainly for a HDMI port, bigger HDD, and extra security from horror stories. :) Plus in my room, the PS3 gets it hotter than my 360 faster. It's really silent but damn.

I do that too, but mostly for the controller and the interface. Hell, I've been gaming mostly on some form of that controller for a good ten years now, it's just comfortable.

I loved the Duke. And the 360 controller is pretty much all the changes I wanted. The black and white button just makes more sense as triggers. It's a little smaller than the Duke, but it's still bigger than my DS3.

he Duke controller has been criticized for being relatively large and bulky compared to other video game controllers (it was awarded "Blunder of the Year" by Game Informer in 2001[15] and a Guinness World Record for the biggest controller in Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2008).

That quote you have, about the Duke getting a Guinness award for being biggest controller - I refuse to believe that. Wasn't the Atari Jaguar's controller WAY bigger? The thing had a damn 10-key on it!

You are right. Not like Wiki is one to double check. I could believe it though weight wise maybe. Don't care, loved it. :D

[KingGorilla]

I warn you, the combination of a PS3 and not giving a damn about it can aggravate the sinuses.

I had no problem with the Duke, but once I picked up the S-Type, I couldn't go back.

However, it seems like EVERYONE I know who's pro at shooters never moved on from the Duke. Maybe there's a connection there... LOL

[KingGorilla]

Pro at shooters? Console? Start making sense Justin.

People actually use PCs to play games? And shooters, nonetheless? :rolleyes:
