I caved. I bought a PS3.

So, I finally took the plunge. After a lot of strangely nervous times thinking about getting a PS3, unsure if I wanted to pay so much for the system, unsure if I was buying a reliable piece of hardware or one that will give me headaches, I decided to just go for it. I traded in my DS and PS2 and games for a PS3 80gb and Killzone 2, paid about $400 dollars as the difference. I'm still a bit shakey about doing this -- don't have a whole lot of money but badly wanted this system. I hope my PS3 won't have problems, be loud or overheat, and will deliver a solid gaming experience.

But I'm part of the PS3 community now and glad to be part of it.

Welcome to the family. :)

Welcome, and congratulations. I must say... You got a bad deal. You paid $400 AFTER trading in 2 consoles and some games? You should have went to Best Buy and paid $400 for the exact same console with KZ2 and MGS4 bundled with it. Oh, well. What's done is done. Enjoy.Nephilim83

Well, I'm in Canada so prices are a bit higher.

Welcome to the dark side ;)

Yeah, it's not worth giving up a Ps2 and DS, but it's still a good console.

Just to confirm: these were PHAT DS and PHAT PS2, so I only got like 20 bucks for them. I don't play them anymore, so I didn't really care about not getting much for them. That's EBgames for you, though.

Welcome! Hope you have fun with your new system. Cake and punch are over there and feel free to make yourself at home.

Damn you went with the 'dark side' option. I figured everyone would be giving recommendations and congratulating him.

Welcome and happy gaming to you!:D

Welcome to the dark side.

Excellent. A new recruit to send to the frontline!

Err... I mean welcome to the world of the PS3. Enjoy it. *hides battleplans*

If by "caved" you mean, "I just made the best decision of my life", then congrats!

Thanks all.

Killzone 2 is great!

Welcome. What's your PSN? I might be able to play with you some time.

I used to have a 360 but after getting the RROD for the 3rd time i decided to sell it and all the games i had for it. That money along with my christmas money was enough to by a PS3. I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. After 6 months with the Ps3 i can tell you it was defentely worth it. I love the Ps3. Its a far better system than the 360. I hope you enjoy it as much as i have.

PS3 is the best!! W3lcom3PS you'll love it.

Relaaaaaaaaaaaax man, no need to get so nervous. Take a seat, have a glass prune juice and a hard boiled egg and you should be fine.

I wouldn't have traded in my PS2 or DS for the PS3, but that was your call. Still, the PS3 is a great console so it's definitely worth getting. I just don't know if it was worth getting trading in 2 systems though.

Oh well, congrats!

how much did you get for the ps2?

I traded in 5 systems for mine. One of the best ideas I had. I basically neglect my other systems (PS2 & Wii *see how i avoided that pit hole?*) ;)

Hope you enjoy the ps3!

congrats...thats a lot to sacrifice (wouldn't have traded ps2 and games) hope you have a great experience with the ps3....don't keep it in enclosed area....

welcome

Congrats! on your amazing purchase. Now, go and enjoy it. :)
