What system do you play with and what made you buy it?

Hi, I am not trying to start a console war now. But I am just curious what made you buy the gaming console you play with now. For me I bought the ps3. The reason why is because I was in the market for a bluray player and my brother told me that I should get a ps3 because of the money you are spending in just an ordinary bluray player you could have a whole gaming/ computer system. So I did, and ever since I got hooked on it. Overall the reason why I picked the ps3 over the Xbox is because to me it looks like a home entertainment system not a gaming console. I am talking about the original ps3 not the slim, and because it has a bluray player, now you could play 3d games and in personal opinion I think it has better exclusives, and the reason why I love the ps3 bluray player over all the other ones is because it is always getting updates to make it better. So what system do you prefer and why?

I got a PS3 for GT5, haven't played it much mind as I found it had great range of exclusives which is why I love, half my gaming time is spent on PS3 exclusives pretty much.

I had a 360 first but got a PS3 when MGS4 came out, that was the main reason to get one.

I game mostly on PS3 and PC.

I had always been more of a 360 person until a few months back. Bought 360 on launch day, bought 360s with kinect on launch day. Then maybe in February I'd bought a PS3. I love the free online and have since cancelled xbox live. To be honest though PC is my favorite way to game

PS3 right now because of the games. I used to play 360 a lot more but now I just play CoD and Halo on it. 360 really doesn't come out with any good exclusives anymore and it doesn't look like its going to get any better because of how keen MS is on Kinect, IMO.

I own a PS3 and my Girlfriend owns a Wii. I think anybody who plays on just 1 system is a secret fanboy, would i consider myself one? Yes lol

Seriously though, i never really felt the need to get either a PS3 or 360

, but once i heard about additional features such as blu-ray and considering the prices of standalone devices i was sold & never looked back.

I got my PS3 April '07 and have played the crap out of it. My girlfriend on the other hand barely touches the Wii.

Fanboy Speech....

Here's my 2 cents on this generation, there is no doubting All 3 consoles have great games especially PS3 & 360, but year on year Sony have had something new to offer, Microsoft have IMO lost the plot with Kinect & well the Wii ran out of steam a long time ago.

I bought my Wii on launch because I've always loved Nintendo!

I do use my xbox the most though of all my consoles! I literally bought it so I could play Oblivion! XD I'm not wealthy enough to be able to afford a gaming rig and I really wanted to play it at the time, so when I had the money to, I just got one and got oblivion. ^o^ Would've got a PS3, but was just too expensive at the time and i don't think Oblivion was on PS3 then. lol

I did eventually get a PS3, but mainly for the exclusive titles and because I was looking at a getting a blu-ray player to go with my new telly last year!

The only PS3 I ever wanted was a phat 60GB, so I could retire my PS2 as well. IMO the only PS3 worth getting is the phat 60Gb unless you buy SE consoles.

I also have an Xbox 360, the resident evil one still sealed. I was planning on connecting it but then I just told myself that what was I going to play on it if I mostly just pay attention to my ps3, and let's not talk about the wii. I bought that for my wife and if she has played it two times it's too much. But honestly if it wouldn't have been because of my brother I would have never bought a ps3 and most likely not have played video games ever again because I stopped gaming in the ps1 days.

Xbox 360 for me,always had an xbox since day one of the original xbox.
I could never see the reason to get a PS3,yes,its got a blu ray player
but,so what you can still buy dvds at half the price of a blu ray disc.
I bought a PS3,had it for two days,turned it on,never bother playing on
it & just sold it on to the next sucker,lol.
On top of that its a hell of alot easier to fix an xbox than a PS3,well for me it is
