Christopher T Leach Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 OK....so I am going through my games to get together each and everyone one of my two thousand plus Atari 2600 games and I come across something that I had almost forgotten about. And I'm thinking to myself..."You got to be kidding me!" Now that I think about it I do recall adding this to my collection.. So here it is...I have a brand new mint in box Playstation 3 console...the one that came with Motorstorm for free...I'm pretty sure it is backwards compatible, but why do I have it? I already have the 60 gig that has never had any issues that my wife bought for me around time we got married....because it just came out and I just had to have it and whoe else could spend Six hundred dollars better than myself... So the question is...Should I keep this one as a backup or just tuck it away to find it again on a rainy day sometime in the future? What would you do if you had two Ps3's or do you have two and why do you have them? I have two because my wife bought one and I won one at a stupid convention....Lamest convention I ever heard of...."1,000 Game Crazy stores by 2010...." Are you kidding me, didn't they just close like 200 according to Joystiq.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I thought they were closing them ALL. Anyway, I suppose someone would own two PS3s for the sake of completion. You know, a launch system for the backward compatibility and a slimline console for the form factor. Collectors like to do this. It wouldn't be the craziest thing I've heard a video game collector do... I'm sure people have paid hundreds of dollars for a copy of Chase the Chuckwagon and even seven hundred dollars for a 3DO.

HammR25 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) I'd probably give the free one to someone who would like to have one but couldn't afford it that I know, but then I'm also not a collector.

EricDeLee Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Sell it cheap to a fellow AA member... or trade it off for items you need. I was thinking of grabbing a second one so I can have it in my office, but I decided against it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_c Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 i'm using a second (semi-functional) PS3 as a media player on an older TV. okay, it was only $70 and the BR drive doesn't work, but it does what i need it to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilnick Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I have 2 PS3s (and a pair of 360s and a pair of Wiis) I don't like having to unhook a console every time I want to play on a different TV, so I have 2 of each system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
