Title: Looks like I may buy a PS3 for $400
Post by: The artist formally known on December 29, 2007, 02:17:22 AM
I'd only spend $325 since I did some work for my dad.

I think it's worth it. It's 60gb with 3 controllers, HDMI cable which is what I'll need, and retail box. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up tomorrow. Whats the most you've ever spent on a game console? I spent $500 on a 360 Elite, it was mostly my birthday money and x-mas money. PS3 if I get it would be x-mas money and some work money.

Least money I've ever spent on a system besides free is $20 on my Wonderswan, and some weird ass DJ game.

I'm ashamed to say it, but $250 on a Wii and either $250 or $200 on a PS2. My GC was $150 and was definitely worth the price, and the DS was the same price.

Lol, you're just being ignorant.

I'm sure you'd like some if you just tried some. I'd offer you to play Odin Sphere but I don't know if I like it yet.

I like it. I've only played 7 hours though. :'(
And I've had it for months.

Their only good games were on the N64 and the N64 wasn't even a great system.

Earthbound vs. Banjo Kazooie: We all know who wins there.

Actually, no I don't considering I've never played Earthbound

Also... Goldeneye beats any Metroid game I've ever played

You've obviously never played Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, nor Metroid Zero Mission

Played the last two, and yes, I think Goldeneye is better than them.

You've got to be kidding.

Goldeneye was awesome for its time but the game aged horribly.

All of those Metroid games will still be fun as hell years from now.

Yeah, sure now it looks horrible, but I'm judging it from when it was in its prime. I used to play against my friends for hours

None of those Metroid games really thrilled me much... I played each for a couple hours and both seemed repetitive and dull. Of course I've never really liked any side-scrolling shooter so there's major bias there.

Go back and play Goldeneye, games okay but really really aged badly.

I said that psyduck;

And then I said I'm judging it from when I actually played it, and not against the current generation of games. It seems unfair to compare older games to those on systems a generation or two beyond it.

A 60GB PS3? Go for it, sounds like a good deal for the best version of the PS3 (FUCK EMULATION SONY). I would buy a PS3 if it was $300. Praise drop before MGS4 plz? wub;

If that's the case then everyone needs to shut the fuck up about Final Fantasy 7. That game has not held up AT ALL.

Just saying, I've mostly seen FF7 hate here so whatever, more power to you people.

The only systems I've gotten myself were my used gcn, wii, n64, and snes. Obviously, the most expensive was the wii, unless you count systems that I've gotten as gifts which would be the ps2 when it first came out and my 360. My ps2 was a costco bundle and was around $250 according the my dad and the 360 was another bundle and it was 450$.

I spent about 500$ on my wii at launch so I'd say that was my most expensive and my least expensive would be my n64 which I bought from a friend for 20$ with 10 games  nigro;

yeah he didn't reply. oh well not a big loss. saw my friends ps3 and wasn't too impressed so far. mgs4 will be worth it i suppose if it says on ps3 like i assume it may.
