Number 1 factor for buying a PS3 was in fact the blu ray feature as recorded by the nielson company. and this was from 2010 so you really never heard of such an idea? When the PS3 forst came out it didn't cost much more then a stand alone blu ray. now you can buy a blu ray for like 50-150 so they are much cheaper. This idea has existed since its release
But then google also found this article about a recent study: realgamernewz.com/new-data-playstation-3-is-the-most-played-gaming-console-global-console-sales-to-decrease-19/. I didn't read the study referenced because it costs $7000 to acquire, but apparently this study determined, among other things, that there are more x-boxers that buy their console for non-gaming purposes than PS3 purchasers. (This admittedly puzzles me greatly).
I do have to admit, however, that I am a PS3 user who originally purchased the system to use as a blu-ray player. So yes, we do exist. At the time the HD format war ended there was no difference in price between a PS3 and the cheapest stand-alone player. I did the research at the time - the PS3 was considered one of the best blu-ray players, was more easily upgraded to new firmware, and - oh yeah - was also a current generation gaming console. So buying the PS3 as my blu-ray player was a no-brainer.
And for the first 6 months or so my PS3 was primarily a blu-ray player. But over time I started playing more and more games and now I use at least 20 hours a week for gaming. I would think though that not too many others who purchased the PS3 as a blu-ray play would now be ME3MP fans who come to these forums, so the angry replies should have been expected. There are a lot of proud PS3 gamers as you are finding out.
I would suggest we lay off upinya now though. He made an unfortunate db comment that has snowballed. But he has also expressed his support for PS3 players many other times in many other threads, so let's cut him some slack.
Thats an interesting link. I could see that being somewhat true. since most cocmputer owners have windows (i believe they still hold a majority share over apple) and the 360 was made to link up PCs with it and windows 7 plus the kinect controls could allow you some serious freedom using it as an entertainment center.
Anyway this will be my last post regarding this subject. You can say what you want but i won't respond to any negativity. But just to make a few things clear
1) yes i made a DB-like comment but it wasn't directed at PS3 players, it was directed at the cheaters which is what the title of this thread is regarding. I don't like cheaters and yes i will be a DB to them for ruining other peoples fun by cheating. I don't have anythign against PS3 or PC players as a whole. I talk as much sh*t about xbox missile glicthers and PC file modders. I don't like cheaters
2) The comment about people buying PS3 as a blu ray is my opinion. it is not fact nor was eevr presented as fact. in my experiance only 1 friend i have that has a PS3 (out of like 10 people) got it to game and considers himself a gamer. i'd agree with hte time he plays but honestly he's prtty bad at games lol
3) No comment i made was ever intended to ****** people off, if i offended someone i apologize for that. It is my opinon that most people but PS3 as a blu ray 1st and gaming console 2nd. It is my opinion thatt i haven't seen elite PS3 players for ME3. It was me stating my opinon that was all.
4) I think console wars are stupid. I don't own sony and I don't own microsoft. they aren't paying my bills so i'm not gonna defened or trash either of them. I could care less i have no allaince to either. If some new company makes an awesome gaming system that blows microsoft out of the water then MS will get a big peace out and i'll buy the other companies console. I don't know why people defened their console to the death liek there is a peronal pride in owning one. guess what you don't own a ferrari, its a dam gaming console. nothing to be proud of. millions of people have them
5) I do urge the PS3 gamers once again to sign up for team arelex (as well as the PC players too) we have our own group, own forums, sperate rooms for all the new games (RE6, BL2, AC3, COD, Halo4, etc) and the mods will always take suggestions to site changes. its just getting started but we have a strong xbox presense already with about 150 people. We need leaders for teh PS3 to Join and use their elite skills to gain attention from other PS3 gamers to expand on the group. You guys should step up!
