What motivated you to buy a PS3?

[QUOTE="ryank285"]The fact it can be used as a portable device to store porn...ryank285

Um... isn't that the PSP?

I don't consider the PS3 to be extremely portable.

I never used a PSP but i can't imagine it having a hard drive or internet access.

Memory Stick on the order of 4 gigs and yea it does have internet access to WiFi and LAN. I know many a person who got in trouble having one in a place they shouldn't be, particularly for the reason you mentioned.

Already had a Wii so it was either RROD or PS3...I think the choice was pretty obvious...also looking for to FF and MGS...don't care much for the current games...xcept for Uncharted and Eye of Judgement...oh and looking forward to GT! When's the next good RPG coming out???

I was hoping a Mickey Mania sequel would be PS3 exclusive

Answer = reliability.

I don't play often. I don't need a ton of games to keep me happy. All I ask is that my system boots up when I'm free to play once or twice a month. (Sidenote: I actually owned the previous generation model. Not even the current one which has even more issues from what I hear. I ended up giving away the whole system, 4 controllers, and 20+ games because of constant DRE issues)

So, there are two consoles that can fulfill this requirement.

At that point, it comes down to "gaming style." I rarely have my friends come over for some drinks and then a night of stick-waving. More often that not, I game alone as relaxation. Plus I'm a sucker for sharp graphics.

So now there's really only one console that fits the bill.

And that's what motivated me to buy a PS3.

I was referring to another company when talking about reliability issues. I got the PS3 because it has run absolutely flawless for me. (Launch Day 60GB PS3)

1. Games.

2. I had the money.

3. It was a cool next gen system and I just had to have it.

lmao... you went out and bought a 500 dollar equipment because you ran out of space on something that costs 10-20 bucks/

I didn't wait for a price-drop and I'm afraid you missed the other half of my post.
