Forums - Gaming - I have a confession to make.

I own a PS3.

 

Yes, even though I only play games on Nintendo systems, I own a PS3.  We only have 2 games for it, if that.  We have Resistance: Fall of Man (which I think was bundled), and some singing game that my sister played.  I never respected it as a gaming console.  So what happened?

 

The war happened.  The format war, that is.  Toshiba was pushing HD-DVD while Sony was pushing Blu-Ray.  In part because of this, Sony made their then new PlayStation 3 both use Blu-Rays for games, and was a Blu-Ray player.  This led to a strange phenomena.  Due to Sony's business practice of selling their consoles at a loss in order to expand the install base and make more money in the long run off of games, the PlayStation 3 was for a time less expensive than Blu-Ray players.  So we bought one.  Our system was seller, of all things, was The Dark Knight.

 

Although the really sad part is not that we almost never played games on it, it's that we almost never watched movies on it.  I believe that The Dark Knight was the only movie we watched on it.  Although we did watch it about 3 times, because it is awesome.

 

So that's my story and my confession.

 

Edit:  I need to clarify something. I do not consider this a confession because I am a Nintendo fan. It has nothing to do with that. I consider this a confession because we bought what is now considered an amazing gaming console, but never used it as such. It's not that I never bought games for it because it was not my preferred platform, I never bought games for it because I never took the time out of my day to look for games that might interest me. This has absolutely nothing to do with console wars or fanboyism. This thread was meant to make fun of the fact that we wasted so much money. Ha.

You should try playing some.. Lots of great exclusives have come out the last few years. I wouldnt bother with resistance 1 though. It hasnt aged very well.



I thought you were going to tell us you were actually from Atlantis or something. Get more games for the ps3, armoured core is really cool (IMO) and it's so much easier to get for ps3. Uncharted was good too, although I thought gameplay was average, but graphics and story were just really really good.

Expand your horizons you might like it.

You should be ashamed of yourself. You need to burn it and go confess your sins.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

There are many great PS3 exclusives you need to play: The Uncharted Trilogy, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, The Last of Us, Infamous 2, etc.. So, what are you waiting for? Go buy all those games!

Me, too. I've started playing Uncharted and Last of Us. I also have Little Big Planet and God of War trilogy.

Doesn't mean your love or loyalty to Nintendo is in question. :)



Do not worry we all have our console confessions. Mine is that my first console was not a playstation even though I am a sony fanboy. It was a Nes, I especially liked playing Contra and the first super mario bros..

Wait, I can understand buying it as a Bluray player but why did you only ever watch 1 movie on it??
I used to use my PS3 daily to watch movies
