Im moving to the PS3...

I will make the PS3 my main gaming system, i though about this a lot...

Iv been a PC gamer since i was 9-10... and im soon turning 22... but i cant take this anymore, really...

My main reason is the DRM.

I know some people admire Steam, but i just cant stand it. I tried to love it! really, i tried really hard,but i cant stand the idea that i need to use it.

It was ok when i had 2-3 steam games, but when my steam library got bigger, it suddenly started bothering me.

I cant play this way anymore.

More & more games start using it and i dont feel "free" anymore in the PC gaming world.

Everything became digitally and its killing me.

Not to mention other kind of DRM. I feel that way a few months already,

It felt such a chore sometimes for just playing a PC game.

I refused to quit so fast because, well, iv been a lot of years in the pc gaming world...but my final thought was that if i not enjoying anymore, there is no reason i need stay in the PC gaming.

So, yeah.... i picked up Assassins Creed II, GOW Collection & Little Big Planet GOTY.

Also a big amount of games i like i prefer to play with a controller [Prototype, Batman AA, DarkSiders, Assassins Creed, etc...]and i dont really want to connect a controller to the PC, itsjust dont feel the same.

Wanted to share with you my thoughs.

I completely agree with you on this, I also quit gaming on my pc since a few years. To me it also started to feel like I was obliged to game instead of it being just a hobby and for fun. Now when I only game on my PS3 I finally have the feeling again that its all just for fun and I feel relaxed while doing it, while when I was gaming on my PC all I felt was tension.

And great job on choosing the PS3, you won't regret it I'm sure of that ;-) Just make sure you treat the system well cuz the last thing you would want is a YLOD :P oh... and make sure you do a backup of your system regularly, just in case anything might happen with your data. Best tip I could give ya

Tension is the word i was looking for.

My uncle got PS3 and i enjoyed it a lot, just put the disc in and start playing, i missed this feeling so much.

And thank you :)

Can you explain where the tension comes from? I thinking of getting into PC gaming and I don't fully understand what you mean by this.

I know i can buy retial copies, but a lot of retial games using Steam also, and i just dont want steam.

PC gaming started to force you using some other programs to play games, and i cant bring myself to love Steam, GOG, Impulse, whatever.

When i played Steam game i always though what will happend when Steam will be no more, what will happend if my account suddenly become disabled.

Ho and, yeah, my accountgot disabled about half a year ago,Steamsaid some chargeback appeard, though my credit company didnt see anything wrong with my card.

I couldnt do ANYTHING. My credit card company didnt know what to tell me because there was no problem, so this account still disabled from half a year ago, but its not a big deal, i had only a few games on it, like, L4D 1, The witcher, and a few more... but imagine if i had more?

And i created another account, yup, i loved steam and gave them another chance, but when my library got bigger, i started to live in fear of what they might do next to my account.

I dont want this headache

PS3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> EVER! Good Move!

i very good idea indeed,

but still dont forget the PC.

ive love both systems the same,

i started to play stupid reading PC games when i was 3-4 years and got a PS1 and loved themboth but then i traveled for 3 years and my PS1 brock and i didn't have time to fix it befor i go and take i with me so i got a new PC and made it my main system for 3 years and when i came back kept my PC as my main system til the PS3 came out and I got it. i would of made it my main system but i cant leave what i made on the PC,i took my internal hardisk with me :)

i have soo many PC games and their all worth my PS3 :)

Good for you! Really!

I had been a PC gamer all my life, but 4-5 years ago I moved over to the 360 because my PC was getting too old for newer games and I didn't have the finances for a PC gaming rig. I was happy for a while, but after my 3rd RROD and being tired of paying for Xbox Live, I moved over to the PS3 18 months ago. Couldn't be happier! It's a great machine, it brought me a Blu-Ray player for the same price as a stand-alone blu-ray player, but also has crisper graphics than 360 (in my opinion, I'm not gonna debate), better sound, free online, and more sensitive gamepads... I'm very very happy, and I'm sure you'll be too!

EDIT: oh, and I forget how PC gaming became very tedious over the years... all the trouble with drivers, installing, patching, reinstalling because the patch messed everything up... I love popping the disc in and sitting in my couch to play on my 50 inches plasma.

Congrats and welcome.
