Nah, it was a bday present from my pops right around launch. I spent nothing and it was pretty impressive at the time. I played a lot of PC games but the PS3 was really cool and I played more console games then. I will admit that the mouse n key thing pisses me off, I just don't see the reasoning behind it. Didn't that Unreal Tournament allow it? I didn't play it but I'd assume the mouselook worked nicely. Seems like a way to keep PC gamers from 'ruining' the online play... READ: Seems like a way to defend the gamepad fans from needing to change to a more appropriate control method.
Further the browser is a big joke and more trouble than it's worth IMO. The PSN's recent make over pisses me off. I just hate it now.... There aren't many(any?) AAA(read: big budget) 2D platformers available. There are quite a few XBLA games that I'd like to have and not nearly as many PSN games. Really the whole PSN/online thing didn't seem well thought-out... the chatroom shit was junky, message system was junky. It's understandable as it was *pretty much* the first generation to use such a system and hopefully it will be much more polished for the coming generation.
I'm not saying I haven't had any fun with the PS3, it's just that there aren't many games available that I'd like to play. Maybe I'm missing a whole slew of awesome games but if so they're sure flying LOW under the radar. I don't understand why they make games for PSP instead of making them for PS3 and then making shitty ports for PSP. Seems backwards when they make an 'HD' port for PS3 as it ends up looking(maybe even playing but not sure) like shit.
I'd like some Monster Hunters, 2D fighters, newer arcade game ports, schmups... As I've repeatedly said, 2D platformers. Shit, if they'd work out the mouse n key BS they could have RTS and CRPG type games. I'd love to be able to game on a PS4 to save my PC the trouble but I'd guess they're making a killing as it is and don't need to try anything too different.
