I've got my 22 year old NES. It still works
I still have mine, but it's kind of hit or miss on whether it works. Emulators are just a better experience.
the games at the moment they have for it look shit but hopefully they make some soon that makes it worth buying.
Agreed, I've played with a Move a couple of times and haven't been impressed. With that said, if I was going to buy a PS3 anyways, I can save a lot of money by buying a PS3 with Move packaged inside. Just made sense.
I've got the original PS3 (ya know, the ONLY one that was backwards compatible) and mine's never had a single fault with it in all that time.
I bought my first PS3 in January of 2007, a 60 GB machine. It was a beast, I've put so many hours on that thing, I'm surprised I haven't had problems before now. But for years that was my machine for Blu-Rays, DVDs, games and streaming music. And I always have to watch a DVD or Blu-Ray when I go to sleep, so many times that thing would be on overnight.
I've been very pleased with the use I've gotten out of my Playstation 3. With that said, it still works pretty well.
Damn straight. Why the fuck do i want to have to stand up and wave my hands around to play a video game?
I'm currently playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and I can't help but think how fucking awesome it would be to fuck people up with a Move. Or to do like the Wii has done and get a gun to throw the Move wand in and play Call of Duty.
I can see a lot of potential greatness for it. But it's potential only right now.
Speaking of which, now that you've mentioned the backwards compatability; was the first Playstation 3 the only one that could play PS2 games?
There were two different releases that could do it, if I remember correctly. The very first one had hardware which read the PS2 games, and basically you could play every PS2 game. The next batch had a PS2 emulator in it (in order to make the system cheaper to produce), and PS2 games weren't quite as dependable. Then they took that feature out completely.
If it hasn't already been said. Why get a Move (which has controllers) when you get get a Kinect(which doesn't have controllers).
The answer to this question comes when you are able to answer a much more important question:
Why get a XBox360 when you can buy a console which is superior in every way in the Playstation 3? Not to mention the fact, the Playstation 3 is cheaper per GB of HDD when packaged with the move vs. the Kinect. The Xbox offers a 250 GB hard drive with Kinect and Playstation offers 320 GB with Move for the same price. Throw in the free online play and a solid Blu-Ray player (not to mention the much more powerful processor and larger disc space for games), who the fuck buys an Xbox?
It's actually fairly difficult to find one of the original PS3's that had perfect backward compatibility.
I have one.
Not to mention Sly has criticized the 360 left and right whenever the opportunity presented itself?
In my defense, that's only because the Xbox360 is so shitty, and anyone who buys one is an idiot, especially since the price of a Playstation 3 is basically the same as Xbox.
