Talked to my PS3 co-worker "friend" today..bwahaha

A guy at work owns a PS3 & we rode the elevator down for lunch together & headed over to the nearby store to eat.  I kind of feel like Senator Palpatine when I talk to him..evil laughter being stifled inside my head.  Last November, he was telling me about how his PS3 had died & he was out for a month. He sent it in for repairs, they sent it back fixed. He then found out that it wasn't fixed & was sent back. I guess 6 weeks to 2 months before he got it back.  I can tell you inside I was smiling with glee like a true Sith Lord.

So anyhoo, today I asked if he was playing anything on his PS3.  "How's the PS3?", I said.

"It's OK.", he replied.

"What games are you playing on it?", I asked.

"Currently nothing.", he replied.

"Why is that?", I asked.

"There aren't any interesting games to play on it.", he said, frustrated.

I kept thinking about all the games that are on the PS3 & just thought it was funny that in his mind, all of these games already sucked.  Howls of laughter inside.

Then he admitted that he was still playing WoW & was really into that. So it sounds like WoW killed his ideas of using a console.  You know it behooves me to wonder why someone that is absorbed with an MMO would bother spending that $400-$650 on a console they never use. Stupidity?  Possible.

I figure one day he'll probably just sell it.  He did tell me he was waiting for the Star Wars MMO.  That sounds a bit like crap to me though, but anyway.

Maybe he should have gotten a 360 instead.  :P

I don't understand why you were laughing. Are you one of those people that ruins movies with your laughter? (Disregarding the fact you were laughing on the inside in this situation.)

Uh, blu ray player?  I dont understand this post, but did you declare yourself lord and master of all things PS3?  Do you smile when people here mention their PS3 broke?  Whats wrong with you?

Indeed tell him to get a subscription to blockbuster or lovefilms etc .. that will breath some life into the big black monolith

OH MY DEAR SIR, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US WITH THIS TOPIC?

I would get Gamefly or something

" Maybe he should have gotten a 360 instead.  :P "

i just bought a ps3 the other week. i'm getting my use out of it. idk why people think about selling their ps3. there could be other uses for it like bluray. bluray is going to be the future pretty soon. once DVDs came out VHS started to disappear. at my walmart they have big signs for bluray.

so the entire point of this thread is to flame bait? 

It's a shame you can't enjoy video games without having to bash another console.

if hes not planning to use the console, then sell it , wait a year, and spend that money on a sexy next generation graphics card

" I don't understand why you were laughing. Are you one of those people that ruins movies with your laughter? (Disregarding the fact you were laughing on the inside in this situation.) "

Does he know about Home? he could be playing that : )

When I get into an MMO I feel the same way as your friend, so when Aion comes out in September I probably won't be playing PS3 for a while.

so you were being a dick and he was being a moron got ya

When you play a subscription based MMO, you feel the need to play that more than anything else just because there is a "time limit" mind set. You feel like you should play that more often to get more bang for your buck, while on the other hand, a console can wait because you can play that whenever you want. Especially PS3 with their free online services.

I think I found your friend...

Or maybe he should just spend that 500 on a new graphics card since he clearly ain't no console gamer. T_T "

" @Lind_L_Taylor: Why laugh at this mans misfourtune? He enjoys JRPG's and bought the console to reflect his tastes and was sadly mistaken. Maybe you should inform him that there are several good RPG options on the 360, and he should consider trying to make a trade. Clearly he's upset that he isn't able to play the games he loves, should we all not as gamers know his sorrow? Why do you derrive pleasure from a fellow gamers streak of rotten luck? Perhaps suggest he find a cheap old PS2 and pick up Persona 4, if he hasn't already. It would be in the spirit of Giant Bomb. "

He couldn't find any games he enjoyed on the PS3? That's weird. It sounds like he is addicted to WoW.

The fanboyism is strong with OP.

Or maybe he wanted to get into console gaming but, really didn't like the PS3.  I have both the 360 and PS3 and I enjoy my 360 more. "

sounds like somebodies bitter, and wanted someone new to play with :(

TC secretly craves the power of the cells!

I knew the PS3 was powerful but damn sony built it powerful enough to be a co-worker. That's insanity, I knew Sony would take over the world one day.

What's there to play on the 360 that is a "new" release that isn't just hours of online multiplayer? Nothing, the summer is usually a dry time for games and in September it will pick up again and i'll be dropping $60+ USD a week for numerous titles.

" @Lind_L_Taylor: Co-worker implies you aren't of a particularly young age, but from your spiel no one could tell otherwise. Why is owning a piece of electronic equipment a competition? It is a platform for playing games on; exclusives have run their course, so that most titles are shared by both with only dlc in dispute; there are few differences between the two. Why not laugh at the fact that he wears one brand over another? It is as arbitrary a reason as the other. In the words of Bale, you are a fuckin' amateur. "

" @Lind_L_Taylor: Your annoying. "

Believe it or not, the Xbox 360 has had a malfunction or two in its time. If you're a Wii fanboy then.....Well, you have bigger problems than your friend.

You're weird.

Flame-bait topics have and never will be tolerated here. This topic has gone on for long enough now, time to lock it down :)
