got mine a year ago for Gears of War and Alan Wake.

I now have Alan Wake and 2 Gears games and the Beta for Gears 3.

This has nothing to do with PSN or the PS3 I just simply wanted to play 360 Exclusives.

Why would I go through selling and replacing all of my games and hardware just because the network is down for one week? In a year it will be forgotten as quickly as the Xbox Live crash a few years ago was.

I'm actually thinking about selling mine with the shift to Kinect games and lack of quality exclusives.

I have a 360 sitting there, waiting to be fixed (RRoD). Not even this PSN outage will get me to fix it. Only thing I miss is Gears of War.

I don't really care about the lack of multiplayer, but if I can't trust that my credit card is secure, I'm going to have to rethink my choice of primary platform. I have both, so it's really a question of which one I buy games for. If I didn't have so much money tied up in Rock Band DLC, the choice would be a lot easier.

I broke down and bought one summer 2008. Haven't regretted it since. Actually glad I haven't bought a PS3 yet, especially after this whole security issue.

Its hard to trust a company that released a broken console.

At the same time, i am extremely dissapointed in Sony, they really screwed up on this one.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few people switching over because of this, but I would think they would mainly be people who buy DLC etc. and are ticked their CC data might have been leaked. I doubt there are many people switching over just because they couldn't play COD for the week.

At least I have a gaming PC instead...I don't know what I'd do without it.

It certainly would suck to be a PS3 gamer in Toronto right now. The weather has been **** for the past few days or so with no sign of stopping anytime soon. :(

I bought MK for the PS3 but since PSN is crippled I lost my patience and ended up buying it for the 360 so I can play with friends online.

EVERYTHING IS BREAKING THIS GEN! FIrst it was the Wiimote straps, then it was the RROD, then it was the YLOD, and of course PCs always have something break on them sooner or later... Bah, I miss the good old days when the only thing I had to worry about was my SNES getting a suntan. :evil:

Not really. All consoles have problems. People just don't like to mention that LIVE went down for 11 days. http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/xbox-live-outage-day-11-up-and-running-except-not/ Whatever reason, hack or influx of users all consoles have problems.

If there was a group of people I could believe would be that impatient, it would be the CoD fanbase.

mynamesdenvrmax

I think serious console COD players should probably be on XBL anyway, more sales, more competetion and early map packs.

I think if there were such a thing as a serious CoD player (lol), they would likely play on PC, where dedicated servers make competition possible.

Thing is it wasn't fully down for that period and our personal info wasn't leaked. It had problems (more like growing pains) but it really isn't even in the same ballpark as what is currently happening with PSN. Although I will say this thread really seems like thinly veiled attempt at trolling.

My point is that all systems have issues and I find it very silly to jump ship the moment something rough happens.

Yes but it was still available to people during that period and it didn't leak out personal information. People don't like to mention it because it isn't even in the same ballpark. I went through minor earthquakes twice, but I don't bring it up every time someone brings up the Japan earthquake or the Chilean or Hatian earthquakes and say they should just suck it up because we all get earthquakes.

Yeah I deleted mine because I didn't think he was actually trolling after re-reading it (should have done that before I posted really, but I had that 'other' thread still in my head). But yeah I can agree it's silly to jump ship, but it's also silly to bring up something that was not even close to what happened.

Nope. I have one already. I don't use it to play online. Nor do I use my PS3 online.

I don't notice the outage. But can understand the rage.

Why buy a 360 now, or a PS3 for that matter? Once Nintendo announces their new console Microsoft and/or Sony will make plans to cut the cost of their systems to compete with the looming threat. If you can hold out just a bit longer you can get the console of your choice for a reduced price.

I own a 360 and a PS3, but I honestly wouldn't have even known about the outage without visiting game news sites. I haven't played online all year. Sometimes I'm surprised how online-focused the console world has become in just one generation.
