I Finally went through with it.
GuitarAtomik | 9:45 AM on 10.24.2007 36 comments




So I finally did it. After realizing how much money I was going to have to spend on games I need between now and the end of November ($400) and also realizing that my girfriend's birthday is in 2 weeks, I finally went through with it. I sold my PS3.

I evaluated everything and realized all this:

*There wasn't any PS3 exclusive title I really wanted until Little Big Planet comes out next year.

*They'll probably drop the price of the PS3 again sometime late next year when there will be a decent library of games.

*Games like Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted really don't excite me (at least not enough to give up Mass Effect or Rock Band), and I sort of regret paying $40 for Warhawk.

*90% of my time spent on it I was spent playing PSN titles and the other 10% was spent watching Firefly and 300.

*My PS3 won't hook up to my HD moniter and I don't have a HDTV yet.

*I would have to start selling organs to afford all the games I want this year and all of the games at the top of my list happen to be on Xbox360.


So it's done. I was really trying to hold on to it since (like I said) I am excited for Little Big Planet and MGS4 and even HOME but I just can't justify it and the instant opportunity came out of nowhere. At least I don't have to worry about how I'm going to afford GH3, CoD4, Mass Effect, and Rock Band anymore

I like that you weighed all of your options very very carefully. I support your decision.

Very thought provoking. I agree with Butmac. AND you. The price is gonna drop sometime here soon, and then you can re-buy it with the two games you want for the same price you got it in the first place.

Also, NO DADDY pic roxxs!

You gotta do what you gotta do. I'm with Butmac and the fact that you really did weigh your decision properly.

I like that you have creamy skin. I'm glad I could help broker that deal because I don't need all of ROCKBAND and you do. I am very selfish.

Indeed, best of luck with that birthday though. Weigh your options if $60 bucks for a gift is worth more hours of gameplay than Mass Effect.

Good job thinking things through. Your logic makes sense to me.

Shame on the WarHawk. We could have used you for this evenings festivities.

What about Assassins Creed?

Assassins Creed is a multiplatform title. He still has his 360.

I'd have to say, watching Firefly is a good 10%.

Too bad about the PSN games, but at least you can watch Firefly and 300 on your 360. Hell, the HD-DVD version of 300 has far more features than the Blu-Ray and Serenity is on HD-DVD if you go that route.

The PS3 seems to have a lot of potential, but, by the time that potential is realized, the price will surely be lower. You made the right choice. Hopefully ridding yourself of the PS3 was easier than having it hauled out of your house like some filthy, red-neck father on a re-run of Cops.

"the ps3 is a dead system like beta max tapes."

Where does this FUD come from anyway?

Cereal? Do you really think that?

I don't.

Well thought out. You made the right decision as you benefit now and the system will still be there when you want to pick it up again.

PS3 isn't a dead system by any means. Do I think it's worth the money right now? No. Do I think that it could be great with enough content? Certainly.

The PS3 is only going to be a dead system if people write it off as one. Hell, the PS3 hate mostly comes from people who are "in the know" when it comes to gaming, the general public still holds the Playstation name in the highest regard. Further, the 360 has only proven as successful as it is in the US. Europe and Japan don't seem to share the same enthusiasm that we Americans do.

That said, I don't have a PS3 and don't plan on buying one any time soon. I do play the hell out of my 360 though and would really like to play my Wii more.

you did the right thing, mass effect will be worth it in the end. A certian old man is making his way to the 360 eventually anyway.

I'm moving in a few months and had to make the decision to NOT BUY ANY MORE GAMES UNTIL THEN.

This is horrible. The last game I bought was Orange box, and I'm already craving MORE!!!

It's gonna suck going through the next couple months without the ability to play... how much is gamefly? :P

yeah, i had to sell my soul (and Final fantasy 7-9 (same thing)) to my neighbor so I'd be able to buy all of the games that i wanted this winter. So cold without my babies...
