A look at why some people buy all three of the major consoles, and a few tips on how to better manage your systems.
Every time a new console is scheduled for release, their competitors will be releasing a console of their own; this cycle inevitably turns into a console war. Manufacturers (mainly Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo) have all spent time in developing their consoles trying to revolutionize gaming, sometimes people who just like games in general really have a blast with all the new features being set by manufacturers. So what the hell, buy em' all.
Everyone knows having all three of the next gen consoles is not an easy feat; one might assume that having all three is incredibly hard on your pocket, which in no argument is, so break those piggy banks. But then again, who says having all three consoles won't reap benefits. For instance, you're able to play whichever console you feel like playing at any given moment, and you have the feeling of being envied by your friends that come over everyday to play with “you”. Some fun loving gamers who do in fact own all three (No, It's not a myth!), will agree with these pluses. But the most obvious one of them all is the fact that you have access to all of the consoles unique features.
The PS3 is standard equipped with either a 20/60/80 gigabyte hard drive that allows you to store media, such as Demos and HD videos. When I first bought my PS3, I noticed that there were two extra slots for flash memory sticks, that was not only limited to Sony. Right under it was four USB ports for controllers, I was happy to know that Sony added ports for four players, which I was very happy about. When I turned on my PS3, I was pleased with the familiar PSP interface, and the first thing I looked forward to was playing Resistance: Fall of Man. Being a fan of 360 shooters, I have to admit the PS3's easy controls are a plus. After, I tested online play, the wait time was a bit long, but for the most part everything was user-friendly. The Playstation Network let me download demos such as Dynasty Warriors: GUNDAM and Ninja Gaiden: Sigma, both which took a while to download, but it was worth it. The PS3 needs strong titles for a strong machine, from the title list, I see it happening. I knew from the start that the PS3 was a Blu-ray player, so HD movies are there for people who want to sit back and enjoy some good home entertainment with some friends. The PS3 also has official Linux support, I am not so solid on it, so I won't go into that. The PS3 offers a strong list of features to try and appeal to every gamer.
