The Playstation 3 and Your Family

I hope this matches gaming discussion. I was curious about how each member's family, if they're living with you, viewed the PS3, if they play it, or if they even know of its existence. I'm...trusting an argument couldn't possibly stem from this, so be respectful!

Whenever I come back to visit my family in the summer, I always bring back my ps3 and my mother hates it with a passion.

Even though my 21 year-old brother basically stopped gaming a while before the PS3 came out, he's still been intrigued enough to play through Uncharted 1 and 2 (since we were both huge fans of Naughty Dog's Jak and Daxter games). My 11 year old sister tried learning to play a few games, but she was too impatient to build any kind of skill in gaming. My parents are indifferent towards it.

for some reason they absolutely hate it when i play it and we argue all the time, i have to make sure im alone so an argument wont break out, even wen no1 is using the tv, they see it as a waste of time. whatever

All 3 of my brothers use the PS3, my younger brother plays it casually, my older brother plays CoD like no tomorrow and makes it seem more like a chore or a job rather than fun and my oldest brother just watches movies and occasionally plays LBP or Bomberman.

Pretty much indifference, that and my mother hates how much games cost. The only other gamer in my family is my older brother but he lives on his own so he has his own ps3. Though when I'm ay my dad's place, my dad and I will play some NHL 2K7 on his Xbox(original).

I saw my mom having some amazement on her face twice... that was while i was playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and UFC Undisputed 2009... didn't say much though... she even asked me before why do i have to buy a PS3 when i alraedy have a PS3... i just told her that she has no idea why, but it will make me happy... and she said ok. :)

[QUOTE="Symphonycometh"][QUOTE="TheEldestGod"] Awww. There's nothing like a cool mom. Too bad mines a b----! :P Na, my mom saw how bummed I was in the seventh grade when I couldn't get a PSOne for my birthday (she couldn't afford one) so she barrowed money from my grandma, came and picked me up early from school, took me home, and sat me down in front of a PSOne with Final Fantasy VII. She said, "Play til your brains fall out." I was so happy I cried. I love my mama. :)TheEldestGod

Well. my wife doesn't like videogames at all. :x

My kids love my PS3 !We play ocasionally some Ridge Racer 7 and GT5 prologue over the weekends.

@Symphonycometh: Check upon my FB profile photos for some cool pics. ;)

My parents dont' play it but they're quite impressed with the graphics when they pass by and have a look...

My mother always asks me if I'm playing or watching a real match when I'm playing PES, while my father makes sarcastic

comments when I'm playing Fallout 3, about how long the game is and what I'm supposed to do besides making heads explode... :D

He also always says Heavenly Sword is the best looking game he has ever seen...

Just live with the wife, shes not into gaming at all although I try heh.

Mom- Just likes Heavy Rain on the PS3. She a casual gamer and will sometimes sitdown ad play a game for a while (DMC, GoW, Silent Hill) but recently she hardly plays anything.

Dad- He gets his game on every once in a while but has yet to touch my PS3, he's more of a 360 person. He probably will Monday when he see's Dantes Inferno or March when GoW III is released.

Sister 1- Plays KH, Tetris and Animal Crossing everyonce in a while, never touched my PS3

Sister 2- Doesnt play games.

most of the family just sees it as it were nothing, some of the family play it with me

have a cousin that owns a ps3 and another that wants a ps3

I'm the only one in my family who uses it, except for my cousins who like to play NBA or Madden sometimes when they visit. But they usually prefer to play Fifa on the SNES.

Mine's locked away in my room sealed up tight from anyone in my house besides my daughter when she stays with me on the weekends. She seems to like it because she was just watching me play Arkham Asylum the other night and loved it.

I have an old lady, but I obviously don't live with her. I think it might end up being sooner than later for when that time comes so hopefully she likes it. She better or she's gone! lol jk
