Never Played A Game On My PS3

I've had my ps3 for about a year now. I got it for $175 from a guy who was trying to sell it back to Gamestop. Of course they were gonna give him some obsene amount of money and I luckily was in line behind him and basically outbid their salesman. The ps3 worked great and I got 2 controllers and an hd cable but no games.

I already had a 360 and my son has a Wii (that no one plays anymore). Anyway, I set the ps3 up and started downloading free themes. I looked into installing linux. I downloaded Home when it came out. I told all of my fellow 360 owners that ps3 gave you way more for your money and I began to list all of the features it had that 360 did not or cost additional money.

Needless to say, I've still never played 1 game on my ps3. I was gonna get Metal Gear but never got around to it. The new Batman looks good but nah. I can wait. I use my ps3 d-mn near every night to watch .avi movies that I burn to dvd from my computer (another great feature that 360 doesn't have).

Am I the only one who owns a 360 and ps3 and uses the ps3 for a media center and 360 as a video game console?

Thankfully, I got the ps3 so cheap cause I'd be p-ssed if I payed the usual full price for what I only use as a divx/avi player (which now run about $60).

Congrats?!? I guess ...

i see what you mean, ps3'z are great even if your just using them for a home media centre, but dont you think that your 360 is kinda.. obsolete now? if i were you id probably just sell the 360. unless of course you have some of the (pretty good) exclusive titles of course.

Nah homie, congrats ain't in order. I wanted to know if I was missing something. Is there a game on ps3 that is a must play?

I get the feeling that you were being a smart a$$. Apologies if I'm wrong. I wasn't trying to toot my own horn (pause). Nothing I wrote was special in any way. I know plenty of ppl that do the gamestop "outbids" like I did & watching burned movies is common place in 09.

I started the thread 'cause I wanted to know if I was missing out on any amazing game experiences that only the ps3 could offer.

My friends all have 360's so I buy all my games for that. I have 2 homies that both have ps3's but they both happen to be my 2 most annoying friends that suck @ video games.

I contemplate buying games for the ps3 but always end up getting them for the 360. I have a few exclusives but mainly I play games that are on both consoles.

kind of a waste in my eyes. You are missing some pretty good games.

How can you own the amazing PlayStation 3 for a year, and NOT own any games for it? :| Why own one if you're not going to use it to play games?

MGS4 Is great but if you're not a fan then you should pass on it since you wouldn't understand a thing lol. Well you said you had a son so Little Big Planet could be a great game you guys can play together. A simple platformer where you can make awesome levels yourself should provide hours upon hours of entertainment. And if you're into shooters there's always Killzone 2 or Resistance. You should check out the game recomendations thread for ideas but thise are some oof the must-have exclusives I can think of right now

That's a shame. While it's good that you're using the PS3's many features, you're missing out on what it was really built for.
