ps3 final fantasy 13



Around the Network

I bought a PS2 for Final Fantasy X only.



I suppose PSP has got to be the closest... I bought it mainly for MGS: Portable Ops, but I did have some other games in my mind too (namely Final Fantasy and God of War). Also, it was pretty cheap.



I bought a gamecube solely to play Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Ended up buying a few more games for it, but not many. Twighlight princess being one of them.



I'm sorry... i'm just loling for those who answered PS3 for Final Fantasty =).
Man Sony's PR worked great on that point. Had it not been 500€ i might have bought it too =p

Now on to the point.

NES for Zelda (played it in the summer when my cousin brought the console and the game).... best money I ever spent ^^

Genesis... late in the gen, I started having more $$ and I felt like playing the Sonic games (so yeah more than one game .... also played a few others, I enjoyed it)

GB... mario and tetris (well the real reason was that I saw a guy with a mini nintendo cartrage at the airport, I was jealous!!.. yeah I was like 8)

Everytime I buy PCs, I spend 2x the amount just because of games I want to play... but it's not one in particular.


All the other consoles, I didn't buy for just one game.... my general rule is that I need to want at least 3-4 games on the console... unless it's Zelda, in that case, i'll get it anyways.

@ bugrimmar

Yes you are

I never have, and never will, buy a platform or upgrade a PC because of one game. One game will never be enough for me to justify that



i Upgrade my PC every year or so to keep up with the new games. I bought my Xbox for Halo and Halo 2. Other than that i buy consoles for multiple games



Long Live SHIO!

I bought the original Xbox for Burnout 3. Only time I've ever done that though.

 

Why would you buy Xbox for Burnout.It was exclusive to PS2 for quite some time and was the main platform.

 

Well one because of Xbox Live.  And two I didn't want a PS2.  I wanted an Xbox.  If I had wanted a PS2 I would have gotten Burnout 3 with a PS2.  But I didn't want a PS2.  Never did and pretty much still don't.
