What things forced you to purchase the black beauty? For me it was eternal love(until a new console comes up). what about you all?

I dumped Nintendo and their N64 and ran off with Sony and it's PS1(exceptthe one time I cheated and got aDreamcast) and been loyal to it every since because it treats me right. Just never enjoyed the XBox, it smells funny.

I bought a PS3 because it was the cheapest Blu-ray player on the market and I'd had an HDTV for 18 months. I bought the PS3 at launch when the next cheapest Blu-ray player was $1,000. I own a few games for my PS3, but the 360 is my main gaming console.

At the time I bought it (probably a little less than a year ago) it was the same price as the cheapest blu-ray player on the market. I figured I might as well get the PS3 in case any games came along that I wanted to play. Up until LBP and Killzone 2 came out, the only game I owned for the thing was MGS4. So over the course of a year I probably used it for gaming for about a week. Its basically a blu-ray player.

GTA

MGS

Gran Turismo

I only wanted one console and these are the games I must play. So it was a no brainer.

Quite simply, because I wanted one.

I buy every console that releases in every generation, and the PS3 (or the other consoles this gen) is no exception.

Why did I get a PS3?

Cause I was assigned by my supervisors in charge of the school newspaper at GCC...

To review Haze... :?

In reality, I would've gotten a PS3 anyway eventually (Cause I'm staying 'mostly' loyal to Sony since I owned both a PS1 and PS2 :)), but if it wasn't for that review I had to write- I wouldn't have gotten my PS3 when I did.

Because I wanted it and I saw it as cheap for all the features you get. Also, MGS4 and not having to pay to play an entire game is good.

I was gonna wait for a price drop to get one until I found out they were dropping the backwards compatability. So I hunted down a 80gb MGS bundle. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it so early.

Because sony was discontinuing all BC PS3s and I wanted to get one before they were gone. I wouldn't have bought it but when they released the MGS4 bundle it was $100 off, I couldn't resist. What a waste, the 80GB's PS2 BC sucks, I hate them. On the positive side, at least it isn't guarenteed to break down after 1 year, it will probably last 2 which seems to be a luxury nowadays.

Because I prefered the Exclusives and I wanted the free online. Due to myself getting cancer and missing 7 months off school, my school decided (with some help of my friends suggesting it) to pay £200 towards my 80 gig PS3 so I'd have something to do while I was at home. Muwahahahahaha! This is the truth.

Seriously? That's sad (cancer), weird (school paying your PS3) and great (you is having a PS3)

I wanted a console that could play Rock Band, and Uncharted pushed me to the PS3 rather than 360.

this guy in the game's store convinced me to buy it although I was inclined to get 360 . But now I kinda regret it cuz I loved gears of war on the 360 and there is no match for it in the ps3 system

I had just gotten the RROD with my 360. I walked into Wal-mart with 100 bucks in my wallet and 360 (Ironic isn't it?) dollars in my refund for it. I needed a new console, I knew a lot about the PS3, I could afford it, so I got it. It was a good day.
