trickykittyI am now the proud owner of a PS3.
Sooooo, why is this news, you ask?
Because the last time I owned a console gaming system was....never.
That's right, I'm a gamer who has never owned a gaming system. My parents owned an Atari back in the day that got sold somewhere down the line when I started getting into computers. *coughCommodore64cough* Although at the time I was the primary player of said gaming system, I technically never owned it. Even my grandmother owned a Gameboy, and now both of the boys have Gameboys, an old Sega their father bought them, and a PS2 mini that I got for them as a gift from Santa. Here in the house we have a PS2, a PS3, and an XBox360 (but still no Wii), none of which belong to me. It has just always worked out that way. If there was a game I wanted to play I used to be able to find it in the arcade, and then later I could always find a PC version, which is still my preference - except for Katamari which MUST be played on a console. Now I just buy the game and play on one of the commune systems.
I still only bought the system so that I didn't have to figure out some way of stringing cables from my computer over to my tv so that I can watch videos from my computer. I have a PC program that talks to the PS3 and whalla!
