I know you guy's are going to take one look at my user I.D. and just consider me another troll, but in all honesty Microsoft made me into a PS3nut, i mean don't get me wrong i had a PS2 back when but i traded up for an original Xbox, in fact i got up at 3am to wait outside a Best Buy for 5 hours that cold day in NOV 0f 2001, and i was really happy with it, i picked up Halo and Football, NFL Fever i think and collected title after title until 2005 when i did it all over again accept it was a different Best Buy and this time i waited 20 long hours in the rain.
A lot of people thought we were crazy, but it was all worth it to those of us on the line, but believe it or not that 360 i waited all those hours for gave me my first Red Ring on the very first day, So i took it back to Best Buy that night and they actually remembered me from the line and gave me full credit on a new one when there next shipment came in, then that 360 lasted about 6 months before the Red Ring came back and at that time there was no warranty, but i had a good collection of games and my local game store gave me store credit on the games and hard drive, and then i bought another 360, which lasted about 7 months before it's Red Ring, now by that time the PS3 was out and so was the 360 Elite, which i was told by my game store guy's that it was supposed to have a bigger heat sink and a cooler running chipset, so again i bought a 360 Elite and 2 weeks later...Yup you guessed it Red Ring of Death, so by this time my game store guy's felt so bad for me that they offered to swap it for whatever i wanted.
Now i've been know to be a glutton for punishment but enough was enough i was going broke and so i told them to give me a 60-gig PS3 and that was almost 2 years ago and guess what ?, the PS3 has not given me one bit of trouble and i've played a lot of great titles on it for endless hours, and all the headaches and expense i had with Microsofts console, not to mention the Live membership i paid for and lost compared to Zero headaches with the PS3 and the free online, i have built up a deep hatred for Microsoft. How ever i do admit today i own both consoles because there are some exclusives i choose not to live without, such as Halo, Mass Effect, Fable 2, Gears of War, on the PS3 side Gran Turismo 5, Resistance, Ratchet and Clank, Killzone 2, God of War 3 so now in 2008 i have my consoles but i'll always prefer the reliability of the PS3's hardware and because of the Red Ring i will buy all multi platform releases on PS3 and only 360 exclusives on Xbox 360, so as not to endure a big loss again in games if my 360 goes Red Ring...and there you have it, thats how Microsoft created this PS3nut.
