Glad to see someone crossing over to the dark side... not implying anything, I just used this as a metaphor for the PS3. :P I didn't have a chance to experience console gaming as a small kid. I was born in the mid 90s, and the only gaming I got was when I went over to a friend's house. He loved his PlayStation to bits, but soon switched to PC gaming and so did I whenever we got the chance to play together. In Poland, PC gaming still dominates. When my family moved to England (when I was nine years old), I eventually got a PS2 (since UK seems to be the land of console gamers). When the Xbox 360 came out and most of my friends got it, I - always being the kid with less money than everyone else - kept playing on my PS2. :P

Thus, this is where most of my childhood gaming memories come from: over at a friend's house back in my country, and bashing every game I had for the PS2 with my older brother. :) My family's financial situation allowed me to enjoy the older generation of games a little bit longer (including many pre-owned titles which were always on sale with amazing prices), because it was not until Christmas of 2009 that me and my brother got a PlayStation 3. We didn't really have much say in the matter; it came free with a deal that my dad took for his mobile phone, plus it was a present found under the Christmas tree. :P

However, even though most of my friends back then had 360s and my parents got me and my bro a PS3, I was happy with their choice. Perhaps they paid attention to my constant nagging about it, but I always wanted a PS3 since the day it came out in the UK (which was in late 2007, I think). Maybe it shows that I was more egoistic; that I would choose better graphics and exclusives that seemed more interesting to me, over the experience of playing online multiplayer and having fun with friends. :lol:

That was when I entered HD gaming, since I also got my own PC a few years after getting the PS2 but I didn't have the hardware to run new games on max settings. However, ever since I got a graphics card upgrade for my PC sometime last year, I've been gaming more on my PC and less on my PS3 (mainly due to the cheaper prices of PC Games and being able to run almost all games at max). :D

Okay, sorry for the long post. I just like reading people's stories related to life & gaming, then sharing my own. :P I hope you don't mind. I would love to play some Killzone 3 with you if you have some spare time; my PSN/SEN ID is BloodiedWarrior, though I haven't logged on in a while. ;)

I currently have Little Big Planet 2, God of War 3, Uncharted 3, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time and Killzone 3.

Exclusives on the PS3 are amazing, I own both consoles, I like my 360 more for multiplatforms but as far as exclusives go, PS3 wins the battle for me, as DR-ZMBK mentioned, those games are amazing from start to finish, you can add me there as well.

PSN: Starkzard

PS: Do yourself a favor and play MSG4! :P

Wait until you play: Heay Rain; inFAMOUS 1,2; Killzone 2,3; Little Big Planet 1,2; Metal Gear Solid 4; Resistance 1,2,3.

Welcome to PSN. Feel free to add me, my ID is DR-ZMBK.

Maybe we can earn some trophies.

Although it still possesses a few advantages over the X360, I'd argue that the PS3 *was* the superior system on first release back when it provided backward compatibility, OtherOS functionality and SACD playback - now it's been dumbed down into a machine that more closely matches it's competition.

yea i know what you mean,i love my 360 thou i prefer the PS3 by a mile, for more jaw dropping i would recommend pretty much every PS3 exclusive especially MGS4 and Heavy Rain =)
