Awwww man, I mustve been crazy on friday...

I work somewhere that sell ps3 and games etc (competitor :p) and saw MGS4 put its sweet little ass on the games shelf...

So I bought a PS3 just for that game!! :eek:

Not really like me to do that...but its a good game - love the MGS series :)

You guys ever bought a console for one game?

I strongly hinted to my other half that I'd appreciate a GC just to be able to play Twin Snakes.

I'm really tempted to buy a PS3 just for MGS4 but I'd have to get a tv too. So a ~£300 purchase quickly becomes a £600 one. Bit much for an impulse buy.
 
No never and I never would. I doubt though you will use it just for that one game and in the back of your mind probably considered the bluray features.

For one game it just isn't worth it. £350 to watch a 9hr film really aint a good bargain ;)

Awwww yea, I mean, there are >>>2<<< games I want to play - mgs4 and uncharted :D

But nah, I will get a few blurays to try them out, and will probably use it as a media streamer , etc :)

BTW, you sold your xbox?

Just that you have your PSN ID on your sig and not your xbox live one.

Thats because everyone knows the xbox has had it'd day, it's time is over. Playstation is the footure!

You will see when you start using your feature rich PS3 that your 360 will become a door jam or room heater in the winter.

I've never had my 360 GT in my sig I dont think :confused:

Twice.

A 360 at launch because I wanted to play Mass Effect (damn game was delayed a year+).

A Wii to play Super Mario Galaxy.

Uncharted was nearly enough for me to buy a PS3 but I held out. L.A. Noire would have been enough (thankfully it's gone multi) but the first really good exclusive rpg could well be.

edit:

3 times actually. I bought an Xbox for KOTOR.
 
Buying a PS3 solely for MGS4 seems fair to me. Won't be long before I give in and get one, along with GT5 :D

I bought a 360 solely to play some GTA4, yet don't actually have my own copy of GTA4! lol.
 
I Bought an Xbox 360 earlier this year so i could co-op with a mate from college in GTA4, but i ended up being hooked and getting more games as i really liked the idea of sitting back in a comfy chair rather than up close at a screen.

I will Probibally get a PS3 for MGS4 but will get hooked into buying more, the new trophy system sounds good as well. As that is 1 thing on the xbox that keeps me playing games and doing things i have never wanted to do before because i got bored of the game.
 
Bought a Wii just for zelda. Then sold it. Then bought another Wii for mario galaxy. On the plus side i never lost a penny because of the chrimbo rush. Also bought a DC just for Resident Evil. If you got the money to burn why not :p

And No Mariokart, fool sir!
 
I've never bought a console solely to play one game, but I have bought consoles -because- of one game. I bought a PS1 for Final Fantasy 7, I bought a PS2 for FF10, and I'll buy the PS3 for FF13.

Actually, I'll probably only buy the PS3 for FF13, and have it as a Blu-ray player.
 
bought my PS3 for GTA4 and fancied GT5 prologue, took prologue back and got GRID and wil wait for GT5 instead, i'm happy, i dunno wether MGS is my kind of game, though i'm tempted because of the big deal with it.
 
tbh metal gear is one of the few (worthwile mentioning) ps3 exclusives. I am getting tired of getting cut res, choppy frame rate 360 ports:(

I have metal gear, stayed off it due to uni exams but its good, very good.

Personally I cant wait for resi evil5 (coming to 360 as well as ps3).
 
I've got loads of other things for it, but my PS3 is mostly for Final Fantasy XIII and MGS4.

I have an elite and 10 games and I think i have put as many hours in to it ._. Don't know why I carry on buying this stuff :p
