I thought I was over gaming but after getting my Playstation 3 a month and half ago, it’s like an old flame had been rekindled, and yes I realised that gaming is still pretty much a part of my life and I really enjoy it.
My Playstation 3
It’s been roughly 3 years since the Playstation 3 was first launched and the heat is not dying down yet, in fact I would say that the heat is just picking up with a slew of cool games coming up compared to the earlier days of the Playstation 3 where the amount of noteworthy titles were far and between, giving the XBox 360 somewhat of an edge these past years. However I’m confident that the PS3 will make a comeback and possibly beat the XBox 360 as the number one choice for game consoles. Watch out Microsoft.
Now the bad part and maybe good part as well, is that there are no pirated blu ray games, and each PS3 title would cost roughly RM130 and above, while this is essentially bad for our pockets it’s good for the gaming industry, and hopefully with a bigger support group for original games, the government will be able to bring down the prices of games in Malaysia, fat chance but we can always hope and pray I suppose.
Prices of the PS3 has undoubtedly come down over the years, I remember it being priced RM2700 to RM3000 when it was first available in Malaysia, utterly crushing my intentions of getting a new console back then. It has since become more ‘affordable’ I suppose, and I bought mine at the price of RM1699 + RM200 for Street Fighter 4. The whole package comes with the console (duh), standard A/V cables, two Dual Shock 3 Controllers, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Street Fighter 4. Some would say it’s pricey, but if you consider getting a blu ray player which would cost you over a thousand ringgit, and it doesn’t play games, I’d say the PS3 is the better buy. I’d recommend anyone who’s looking to get a blu ray player to get the PS3 instead, as it’s more expandable as a media centre instead of just a plain jane blu ray player.
Now that’s all about my PS3 for now, hopefully I won’t go broke over buying games, signing off!
