I was very happy to buy the PS3 at launch and would easily have paid twice as much for this device. From a hardware perspective it's seriously cool tech, but I was also realistic, stating years ahead of its release that it would take quite a while for developers to truly tap its true potential and that those who were still having to deal with obsolete gaming engines or have to support alternative consoles would unlikely come close for much longer.
It was exciting to be part of the PS3's evolution and I believe there are so many great and amazing developments yet to come!
