Bought a PS3

Couple days ago I bought a PS3 at a pawnshop. It was of a reasonable price, 40 dollars in fact, and it was one of the early models, you know, the hulking beast that weighs a ton but as long as it worked I was OK with it. Had to clean it up from all the users logged on and their saved files plus other stuff like rap mp3s and even corrupted data to make room as much as I could inside the system for my own game save files and nothing else. There was no need for me to even care bout the playstation network since it was long gone after the PS4 was around and to be honest, I really would not had cared if it was still around. One problem it had was that at first it would not read discs so it was tricky to get it going but now it is playing games just fine.

The system came with a physical copy of Grand Theft Auto V that the pawnshop seemingly left inside so it was a pretty good deal after all. I was happy with the cordless controller and the fact you can turn off the system with it than having to do so yourself most of the time, and those silly trophy rewards which seem to be just to boost your ego than anything else.

I had already a couple of PS3 games before I got the system and was able to get a couple more so I would try them all out when I bought the console. The latest game I had bought was Batman: Arham Asylum and had ordered Tekken Tag Tournamen 2 and Virtua Fighter from Amazon. I will try getting other titles of interest as long as the internal memory can hold save files and installations from games. Duke Nukem Forever alone already took a sizable chunk as it was.

I am pretty amazed at the graphical upgrades compared to those of the PS2 but some of the games seem overly flashy and very sharp for my taste. This is just nitpicking really, the PS3 has some amazing titles and I so far have some of such in my current collection.

I will finish this entry stating this will be the last console I will ever purchase. I feel like the PS4 would not bring much for me to keep my interest and my small budget could not be enough to even get the console in itself. I know the PS5 is around the corner but I simply feel with this final purchase I have reached my goal in terms of my own gaming life. I feel I had a good run since my childhood on what I could afford and what I got in the long run. I like the PS3 very much and having the option of playing Blu Ray videos on it is a nice touch as well.
