While sitting in a waiting room tonight and browsing the web I happened upon the "Demon's Souls website pulled & servers shut down" thread and after reading a few pages, I had the sudden urge to pick up a Playstation 3.
For what it's worth, I've never owned a Sony console. I own a PSP though, so I've never been completely without Sony hardware in my life.
I looked up the Playstation 3 on Amazon and prices seem to be all over the place. A 12GB PS3 is $210 and a 500GB or 250GB PS3 is $260, with a snazzy looking white unit for $270. That seems rather high for what is almost 10-year old hardware. Heck, the Playstation 4 is $350 and that includes a game, whereas all the models I just mentioned don't include anything outside of the console and controller (presumably)
I've be using it to play PSOne games from PSN, as my PSPgo's TV connectivity has been rather flakey lately, plus a handful of PS3 games. I glanced over the Wikipedia page for PS3-exclusive titles and this is what I've pulled out of it for interesting titles:
The more I think about it though, that's a lot of money to throw at a console that has so few titles I'm interested in playing for it. Any thoughts?
