Nah I like PS3 in general. I just get frustrated with the XMB sometimes.

It just seemed like the right thing to do. Too many good games on PS3 im missing out on. And yes all your lovely reviews contributed.

Mine is sad. We use a 2nd Xbox for tv streaming now, so it doesn't even do that. It's now the worlds most overpowered blu-ray player.

The biggest reason why many of you don't use your PS3s is because your gamer community and achievements exist on the Xbox, right? It is very easily the other way around for a different group of people.

So no gamer community and no decent achievement system is the reason people use PS3's?

Consider me suitably confused.

That's right... the OTHER group that we must defeat! That's how the console war works.

Seriously, I don't hate the PS3 at all. I just have no use for it. I got all loyal back when Playstation 2 was the home of jRPGs while Xbox had the wRPG ports (Jade Empire, Morrowind, KotOR). 360 continued the trend with exclusives like Oblivion and Mass Effect 1.
Of course now the PS3 embraces wRPGs, but I’m already accustomed to the 360.

The real reason I avoid the PS3 is that the exclusives don’t interest me and the controller gives me RSI. I own and have played Heavy Rain, Little Big Planet, Infamous and that Dragon Riding one…. But there hasn’t been any other exclusives that really interest me.

I often feel guilty about not using mine, controller is an issue for my shovels and yes the choice of trophy over achievements does sway me.

However - Journey, Infamous, Dungeon Hunters and the everlasting wait for the Last Guardian are good reasons to switch it on even if occasionally.

Pretty much a big reason I've never considered the switch. Plus, aside from Gears and maybe Fable, I don't really have much interest in the 360 exclusives. I have finished the 1st of both those series and loved Gears and didn't mind Fable although it was kinda short for what it was and way too easy.

I don't get it... you mean like trophies or something else?

Are you saying you haven't played Valkyria Chronicles? If no, seriously, give it a go... judging by what I think you like, you should love it. Oh and I'm not sure if you've given Dark Souls a go, but if you liked that, Demon souls is still an awesome game aswell.
