Five hundred and ninety-nine US dollars

>five hundred and ninety-nine US dollars

what was your reaction?

something like this

You think anyone currently on Sup Forums was born back then?

...

I understood it, and never planned to buy a PS3 anyway. But I definitely joined in on the meme because fuck it.

...

Laughter, then disbelief that it took forever to drop the price when it was a nogames machine for two years straight. Folklore was the only early PS3 game I gave a single shit about and it's not fantastic.

guess I should post mine

>was in 6th grade at the time

...

>I finally have a reason to get a job ...

Even after finally saving up enough money, there wasn't any noteworthy games I wanted, and I boycotted out of principal.

>nice, I get a next gen console and a bluray player

>is it THAT good???

>that boomerang controller tho

Got a wii instead and finally got a ps3 on 2009 with blazblue and soul calibur iv.

holy shit I did the same thing except with demon's souls instead

I actually bought it at launch.
The regret never left me.

VITA MEANS LIFE

That's not a boycot. A boycot is not buying something you want to buy because you disagree with aspects of it or aspects associated with it.

You didn't boycot it, you just decided not to buy it because you didn't want to.

...

At least you can take comfort in the fact that the regret never left Sony either.

>of principal.
Should have given you a hint that he was a retard.

I still remember when I brought a 360 at my friend's house and a piece of puss richkid, friend of mine too, brought his wii.
Jerry literally laughed at him because he was a fucking soyboi that still went behind kiddy nintendo shit

good times

Why are sonybros so fucking dumb?

The ps4 is $400 + $50 yearly, that's going to be well over $600 if you play online (like everyone does)

>600 dollars is the same in 2006 as 2018
>not buying PSN when it's on sale for half

It was quite alright after a few years but the launch day buy was clearly a mistake. Well, at least it's still working and I can play my ps2 games on it as well.

>The ps4 is $400 + $50 yearly
1. $300 at bestbuy
2. You don't have to play online homeboy, I don't

Wow, amazing. I bet you two are secret twin brothers or something!

To be fair after inflation it was apparently $750, which is what 7 years of psplus bring it up to at the normal price (I think it's $60 now aswell)

...

And outsold the 360

I'm here because I'm trapped. I was here for DS launch already.

WII MEANS BENIS

>like everyone does
Good joke, I haven't played anything online since 2010.

in your dreams

>current year
>not exclusively playing single player games
What do I look like to you? An adolescent?

...

I didn't really give a fuck because I didn't watch E3 conferences live back then but I joined in on the LULZ back then because, hey, that's a shit load of money.

I remember being unimpressed with Wii Waggle then too and wandering how the Wii's shit specs would affect its ability to keep up with the competition.

It did a few years later with the slim versions and the price cut.

It's true though. It may not be popular but it's getting a constant stream of games even in 2018.

The kicker is most of them are worse versions of multiplats. I got one off a friendo for just $50 and for that price it's worth it for the few games I wanted to play like best version of Muramasa but overall I haven't touched it much.

CHAD WARDEN WIPES HIS ASS WITH 600 DOLLAZ

Try harder fag boy.

I laughed every time.

post banana controller

>it's so good I'll work more to get one

that was just the icing
they still had their fucking retarded boomerang and the "NOW YOU'RE PLAYING IN 4D" motion control shit
it was a hilarious trainwreck of a conference

The original ps3 was an expensive bloated mess of features nobody asked for. I was honestly surprised microsoft did the exact same mistake with the xbone.

>mfw I got a slim for $50 and slapped CFW on it

>bayonetta runs like shit
enjoy your soy gaystation 4

Who the fuck said I even bothered with the PS3 version of Bayonetta? I played it on the 360 and got it on PC.

>my face when FIVE HUNDLED AND NINETY NINE US DORRA

...

>Xfag still in denial

Sad!

Wii was 250 bucks vs PS3's 600 bucks
What was Sony thinking back in 2006.

Looking back at it, the launch ps3 is probably the most feature complete console ever.
Shame they started to remove a bunch of stuff shortly after

Plenty of features nobody asked for or cared about.

And now you miss them.
Native PS2 support and near perfect psx emulation is never going to happen ever again.

Laughing

i wasnt born yet

I was worried I wouldn't get it for Christmas. I was 16 at the time.

Underage ban. MODS

No, I'm talking about card readers and stuff like that.

it still outlived the wiiu though, which nintendo dropped hard
>Native PS2 support and near perfect psx emulation
who cares about those?
nfc reader, motion controls, tablet controller and completely useless ports are way better

That was useful, especially since you could transfer psx saves back and forth from the psp to ps3 just with the memory stick.

The price tag wasn't too bad, considering it had a blu-ray player and actual PS2 parts inside it, whereas the later model utilized emulation.

The original fat doesn't have perfect backward compatibility either.
