Confessions of a PS3 Owner

For the sake of honesty, I'll bring my guards down and admit the following:

1-I'm sick of waiting for Home and in-game XMB.

2-If someone gave me an Xbox 360, I'd use it.

3-I wish the PS3 could play my custom soundtrack while I'm playing a game.

4-Secretely, I wish for all 360's to RRoD.

5-If it weren't for Microsoft raising the bar on on-line gaming, Sony would've taken much longer to get to where they are today and would probably charge for the service.

6-I'm pissed that GTA4 went multiplatform.

7-N4G "IS" a haven for PS3 fanboys.

8-I sold my PS2 and bought an Xbox, when it came out.

9-I played Halo 1 and 2 and enjoyed it.

10-I'm annoyed that Sony owns both movie and music rights, but I can't   download either from the PSN store.

Done.

Now is there anyone willing to do the same from the others consoles?

A bunch of PS3 games have in-game custom soundtracks including; High velocity bowling, Super Stardust HD, MLB 08' the show, Burnout Paradise (ver 1.3), Wipeout HD (confirmed by SCEA).

Nice job also doing a confessional KapedKrusader :D

I admitted I was a fanboy the other day.

But here goes my take on all your points:

1. I can't get online, so I actually don't care, I am disapointed in Sony however that it's taking long.

2. Only with Mass Effect, that game was GOOOOD. But none of the otehr exclsuives grab me in any way.

3. I don't care abotu this either, I think part of the game is to supply a good soundtrack,a dn I feel achievements and custom soundtracks really detract from games. It;s the devlopers job to make it fun.

4. Well, obviously. Luckily it;s happened to lots of my friends, but unluckily for the fanboy in my Microsoft got them fixed sharpish, apart from one.

5. I agree, and I would be getting online if it weren't for AOL.

6. I am too, but I was thinking about blog entries for this. Stay posted.

7. It seems to chnage with the times. But yes at the moment, N4g is very much with the PS3, with only attarcts more of us.

8. Woah blasphemy :P. I didn't. I upgraded my computer to get those graphics I craved and continue on my PS2, I actually have BC PS3, and Shadow of the Colossus, has some seriosu tiem clocked up on it.

9. Halo 2 and 3 I palyed all the time at friedns houses soically, but I nver enjoyed it nor saw the appeal. And Halo was good, becuase it was fresh and had good graphics, but it all went downhill from there. Marketing is what got Halo where it is.

10. I can see why. I would pay for music, becuase it would be registered to PSN, and that's not as complicated as iTunes, becuase iTunes entails computers.

DevonTheDude5356607d ago

I hear where you are coming from, the only reason I bought a 360 is the fact I got a huge discount on a used one, the video market place is nothing special, Comcast's On demand is a much more interesting in my opinion.

kapedkrusader6603d ago

I meant for every game. In other words, that the PS3 would do it on it's own without the developer having to incclude it in the game. Having the PS3 do it makes it the same for all games. I have both
MLB 08:The Show and Paradise and had to download my tracks to both games on different occasions while playing them back through two different methods.

Jinxstar6607d ago

I own both. They both have issues and honestly I tend to buy more games on the PS3 for 2 reasons. 1 I don't have a falcon ship 360 and I fear the RRoD and 2 i like to support the underdog which Sony still currently is at the moment. Who knows for how long. I think until something huge like GOW3 releases honestly but oh well....

Both consoles have issues and need rethinking in a lot of ways. Sony makes good hardware and MS makes good software. I think they should hold hands and make the PS 720 when the day comes but thats just me....

unicronic6606d ago

It's only be being critical of a product that the next installment can evolve.

If a bad product is clung to and not criticized then we can expect the same dross the next time around.

We as gamers should be astute as telling the difference between (1) a good effort that could be better and (2) a shoddy release with no heart whatsoever. Example: (1)Lair vs (2)Pro Evolution Soccer 08

Fanboys whatever their addiction can be stifling a products developments by defending it no matter the critique faced.

Xbox360, PS3 and Wii all have faults. As a user of said console we should be willing to voice our opinions of glaring limitations e.g. 360 nickel & dime extras, PS3 Phil Harrison poor PR excuses, and Wii being old gen tech leverage against a cool control interface.

Let's beat up on the Sony's, Microsoft's & Nintendo's to eliminate shoddy products that are clearly designed to let the users (us) take it in the shorts.

God blog, my friend. Honesty is the best policy! :D

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio21d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing21d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit21d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing21d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
