Well, today I’ve finally decided that I’m going to be selling my Playstation 3 and the games I’ve purchased for it. So much for trying to adapt to console gaming, I lasted less than 6 months.
What’s to blame? Well, I think a few things can be factored in. Firstly, game review websites come to mind along with developers previews. The graphics look great in the previews, reviews and screenshots, yet when you run the game it’s not entirely the same experience. The only game that I came across that was close to looking very good on the screen was Street Fighter 4.
One thing that is severely lacking in console gaming is anti-aliasing. I cannot stand jagged, blocky edges. If I wanted to see blocks, I’d play with some Lego. Considering the Playstation is meant to be such a powerful gaming console, why the hell can’t I turn even 2xAA on?
Secondly, I’ve been a PC gamer for many, many years and as much as people want to argue about it – PC gaming is better. There I said it. To me, the graphics are more advanced, have more room for adjustments and are better quality, best of all you can use anti-aliasing!
In saying that though, I understand the merits of console gaming. You have the ability to buy a game, put it into your console and your off gaming – no hassles and you know it’ll definitely work. Sometimes not exactly the same scenario for PC games as the quality outcome can be very PC hardware dependent.
Anyway, so long PS3.. it was fun.

Oh man, that was quick, what the hell?! Shoulda got a 360 eh, tsk tsk =p
Well yeah, if you grew up as a PC gamer you’ll always be a PC gamer, and vice versa when it comes to long-time console gamers like myself. The fact that I played the original Command & Conquer on my Sega Saturn, not a PC, perhaps says it all.
Yeah, it’s been 7 months with it actually according to the receipt. But gaming probably 4-5 months worth. I may build a PC later on in the year purely for gaming, but I have other interests at the moment.
