If so;

1. What did you switch from

2. What did you switch to

3. Have you ever repurchased a platform that you previously sold or got rid of

4. When and why

360 to PC. Still own my 360 though, wouldn't be worth selling TBH, I checked on eBay a 60GB used console doesn't go for enough; not worth the hassle. + Halo 4 is coming.

Nope, always been a PC gamer, always will be. Though I am thinking of getting rid of my 360. I'm sorta stubborn when it comes to selling consoles since i have very few as it is. I have literally not touched my 360 is over 3 months. Hence, I wanna sell it. Not really a platform change but...

I have had a 360 the whole generation except when I got the RROD. Took me about 6 months to get another one cause I waited for the green halo 360 Then that one screwed up so I got a slim maybe a month later.

I got a PS3 at launch and sold it on Ebay. Got a used ont that would not play games unless they were installed on the HD. Got another one that LYOD on me after a few months. So i decided to eait. Got a slim and never player it so I traded it for a pool table but recently got another one and I have used it not stop.

Got a Wii and laughed and took it back. Girlfriend go a Wii and I modded it and it still never gets touched. I have tried like hell to sale it and no one will buy it. Than again the red one looks lame next to a TV.

No why would I? If you go PS3/PC you have all the good games of all time. No good game has come out on any other platform.

Nope, just added a few more to compliment. Don't see the point in switching for most people, as any platform is going to have a wide array of features/games.

Naturally most people would like to upgrade so they'll go from 360 to PS3. I just can't imagine why anyone would downgrade from PS3 to 360. That's like going from Ferrari to Hyundai.

"upgrading" from a 360 to PS3 would be like buying Call of Duty MW3 to replace MW2 :P You get a few different games, a different OS, and a fancy new logo.

Trauma Center is on the Wii and DS only. It is developed and published by Atlus.

They have five games in the series so far...

Trauma Center: Under the Knife (DS)
Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Wii) It was an enhanced remake of Under the Knife.
Trauma Center: New Blood (Wii)
Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 (DS)
Trauma Team (Wii)

I have had a wii roughly since launch. Got a ps3 a little more than a year after launch and then bought a 360 this past january when gamestop was discounting the remaining holiday bundles. I'm glad I bought the 360 because my ps3 broke just a few weeks later and so I just sold off my ps3 games and stocked up on 360 games, so I guess you can say I switched from ps3 to 360 and have continuously played wii

Nope. It is one of the best third party games on the Wii. Very original and very fun.

I had Wii first and then I got a PS3. There was no switching going on. Both get equal play time from me with a slight edge towards Wii.

Ok I'll answer now

- Gaming PC died in 2008

- Got a 360 (it was an upgrade from my old rig built circa 2001 or so)

- I was flabbergasted at how good it was, really, my mouth was wide open, I never used consoles so I was surprised it was this good

- Started reading fanboy wars

- Got a PS3 and sold 360

- Decided PS3 sucks, gave it to a needy family

- Bought 360

- Built a budget PC around 2009 just for office stuff

- Popped in a 5770 to play a couple games

- Bought a PS3

- Almost sold the 360

- Almost sold the PS3

- Kept both

- Still playing Civ 5 on PC and everything else on 360

- PS3 collecting dust

And more importantly you get games and the privilege of not getting ripped off.

Depends how you look at it, I've been a Live subscriber for years. What I'm saying from experience is, that there really isn't that much difference between the two consoles anyway. The HD twins nickname really is quite apt.

Meh

I play alot of L4D which doesn't exist on PS3, Gears was pretty good, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to Trials Evolution.

In the grand scheme of things $40/year doesn't really count as a unit of money, I've spent more on sushi.

PC is better but my friends and relatives don't use it.

I don't think consoles can satisfy me in the long run but for now, for this year, I'm having a blast so far.

Built my first PC in 2005ish, and ever since I have actually grown to be pretty much exclusively a PC gamer whereas back in 2005 I was actually still big on consoles.

I got a DS and PSP on their launch dates (sold them both last years), my household has a Wii that I don't use, and I have a PS3 that I regretably. I should have gotten a 360, but didn't because my friends already have them, and I decided I'd try to add some variety to the mix, but the PS3 just sucks.

As for now I game pretty exclusively on my PC, as I said, but I'm keeping my eye on the 3DS, Vita, and Wii U because they seem interesting enough so far, but I'm not sold on any of them quite yet.

I had a great time with the PS3 and 360 this gen, but I just got a new gaming PC and have very little interest in them anymore. I will pick up a few more exclusives, and enjoy the media capabilities, but that's about it.

If so;

1. What did you switch from

2. What did you switch to

3. Have you ever repurchased a platform that you previously sold or got rid of

4. When and why

Discuss

ZombieKiller7

I always have several platforms I game on, so it's not really that simple. However, my gaming time is now primarily on the PC instead of my consoles.

I enjoy nabbing legacy consoles that I may have lost (or parents/siblings/roomates actually owned) after they get cheap enough, so I've done #3 quite a bit.

I own every console this/next-ish gen except Vita so far, so I haven't really switched. I play my sony consoles the least in general, with my 360 being played the most.

Nope, but I did get a 360 after I already had a PS3.
