Anyways, I bought it for RPG's, since the PS and PS2 were the home of an insane amount of RPG's, and great ones at that. Also, the FF series, as I was a major fan of FF7-8-9. I remember in my early highschool days, trading my copy of GT(Gran Turismo) for FF8 hehe.

Just want specific reasons as to why you bought a PS3, as i'm just rather curious.



Thanks in advance,

Wanted to get into gaming more and was cheaper to buy than a PC.
Always been a sony boy.
KILLZONE 2 - I was literally obsessed about Killzone then got a stiffy when Killzone 2 emerged.

By any chance do you know your brother bought it, as opposed to any other console / platform?

I got the PS3 because I was sick of the Wii (Wii was my first "real" gaming console ever ... PSP being my "first")

Now why I bought the PS3 over the Xbox 360 ... I have no idea. I guess it was because I loved my PSP ...

Maybe it was because of the exclusives list. Then again, I didn't even know what Killzone or God of War was at that time lol

Wrong. Sony have implemented their mind control bug via the PSP you purchased. Give it a year of PS3 gaming and you will be in the "Sony Cult"... "I love Sony..."

lol. I remember buying the PSP Slim (and giving my PSP Phat to my mate) and buying the TV Out cable, thinking that I won't need a PS3 anymore.

Few months later ... I bought a PS3 anyway HAHA xD

Had to spend my $1300 chrissie bonus on something. Although I only spent $299 with the Game deal for the Xbox + 10 games. Xbox and 10 games only cost me $200 also.

Also, I was blown away how good the graphics were.

Free online play, the fact that my was playing up at the time and that I didn't want to invest anymore money into a system that I thought would only die on me later down the track.
Worked out good, by me playing my ps3 more than anything else (which these days isn't much at all ) Ive actually managed to extend the lifespan of my 360. Win Win in the end

i originally bought the ps3 because of the sucess of the ps2 and everyone thought the ps3 would just blow everything out of the water

even though it didn't originally live up to the hype there will always be good games released

Huh?? How? I just tried, but I kept getting errors?
I really should just get off my butt and join (register).
Can't log into My360 either...Must register for that as well, one of these days.

EDIT: Oh! The other way around eh? Strange?.... *thinks*
