Kim and I realized last week that we've had the PS3 for almost two years now yet we never got around to buying a second controller.

I think that says everything about that system. We like to play together yet there was never a two player game exclusive that interested us.

Responses:

Same here. I love the system, but I almost always play it by myself. - Jelly Aug 26, 13:10 3
- I just don't like playing multiplayer games in general. I know what I'm getting from an AI opponent, most people online are just jerks. -- nm - Ender Aug 26, 13:13 2
  - same here. I never go online. -- nm - decline Aug 26, 13:14 1
    - I only go online for trophies - currently, it's all I need to get a platinum on Tiger Woods 11. -- nm - Jelly Aug 26, 13:18
I thought about getting one, and realized that I only wanted it for the blu-ray -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 13:02 26

  - it was actually one of the cooler games I've played this year. - decline Aug 26, 13:13
  - and mod nation racers. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 26, 13:11
- The only reason I've ever considered getting one is BluRay, really. - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:03
- it has some good games, but it isnt the go to system for so many sters - tRuMaN Aug 26, 13:02 21
  - I'm so far behind on my 360 gaming, that another system right now would be ridiculously wasteful for me -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 13:07
  - it really boggles my mind. other than halo, it's got a terrific selection of games - and it never breaks down - decline Aug 26, 13:05 18
    - i think its mostly first to market with it. - tRuMaN Aug 26, 13:07
    - We can't put in a game without the system needing to update. Downloading from their store is a nightmare. I don't know what Sony was thinking with it. -- nm - David Aug 26, 13:07 9
      - weird. i've probably got one of the slowest connections here and that's never been a problem for me. -- nm - decline Aug 26, 13:08 8
        
        It was comical the two hours we spent trying to download Scott Pilgrim. We'd get looped and looped and looped. - David Aug 26, 13:10 7
        
        i have never had this problem. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 26, 13:10 6
        
        I've never had any problem with the store. -- nm - Ender Aug 26, 13:11 5
        
        Double ditto. - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 26, 13:14
        
        Then I hate you both. -- nm - David Aug 26, 13:12 3
        
        is happy that you were finally able to adequately express these feelings. - tRuMaN Aug 26, 13:14 2
        
        I'd been trying to spare ender's feelings, but the Brandon Phillips defense is a dealbreaker. -- nm - David Aug 26, 13:15 1
        
        hmm, i can see what that would upset you. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 26, 13:17
    - One of the main reasons I *haven't* bought one is because Sony went full-bore with their "we're arrogant assholes" marketing campaign. Hated it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:06 6
      - (Kenny K ruined it. That and the launch price. :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:08 5
        
        This. And the non-backward compatiblity. - JaxSean Aug 26, 13:11 4
        
        Xbox 360 isn't backwards-compatible with the original XBox, is it? Or is it? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:16 3
        
        I didn't have an Xbox. I wouldn't have had a 360 if they hadn't screwed the PS3 launch. - JaxSean Aug 26, 13:22
        
        For a fair # of games, it is. They've only recently stopped supporting X-Box Live for XB games. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 13:21 1
        
        ah, hmm. OK, well, then ... the direction I was going to go with that statement is shot down, so I have to fall back to Plan B. - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:21
  - Arkham as well. I use it for Blu Ray mostly. -- nm - Remlik Aug 26, 13:03
