(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Thought I'd post this as it's actually some general discussion, not like 80% of the threads in this section these days.

So provided you do use gaming consoles, why do you use the particular ones you do? Why did you buy a PS3 over an xbox for example. Why do you have both? Why an xbox over a PS3? If you play on PC, why do you not play console? etc etc.

Also if you have both/all, what one do you use more and why?

Maybe you don't even have a next generation console and use something like a DS.

Just post about it below, you could mention stuff like games, you don't like how the online works, you do like how the online works, you don't want to pay for online, your friend had one and he liked it, etc.

Personally I own a PS3 and an xbox 360, I got the PS3 back in 2007 due to having the PS2 for a long time no troubles and I loved the games on there, in particular the MGS and Gran Turismo series. In late 2010 I decided to buy an xbox and black ops instead of BO for PS3 just for a difference and quite a few of my mates already have xbox 360. I use them both but the xbox more than the PS3 these days.

I personally just bought the PS3 because I bought the PS2 and PS1 before it, no other reason.

My ps3 kinda just sits and collects dust, which I'm not proud of but it's just not very much fun anymore.


Holy shit, that is like my story 100% accurate.
