@Fhaze Oh, you didn't know Karatos is the most popular Sony mascot? Shows how little you know about games!

Karatos sounds like the bad guy from the Gargoyles cartoon series.

That's probably just because you use your 360 as your main console though and just get exclusives for your PS3. I am the same way (I only have the GoW trilogy and Uncharted 1&2 for my PS3), but lots of people do the opposite and use their PS3 as their main console and just buy exclusives for their 360. If they have both systems, obviously.

I really really really love the Ratchet and Clank series. The 2 PS3 versions haven't been as entertaining or as hard as the PS2 versions, but they offer a relaxed game experience. I don't like any of the other exclusives. And I don't usually buy single player games. R&C is one of the exceptions.
For my Xbox I only have Battlefield Bad Company 2, which I'm going to get rid of since not 1 of the VIP map packs have been worth anything. They were just lies.

Ratchet and Clank was decent. There are really only a few great exclusives on the PS3. God of War 3 was terribly overrated, and the first two were better.
But Uncharted 2 and Valkyria Chronicles are reason enough to own a PS3, even if you never put in another game after those.

I didn't like the first Uncharted. I don't usually enjoy 3rd person shooters.

I have about 20 games for each system and I used to play both 360 and PS3 pretty equally until my 360 red ringed. It was fixed under warranty and works fine, but now I only play it for exclusives. My PS3 is on almost daily and I honestly cannot tell you the last time I turned on my 360.

I think I remember taking this survey. Of course I own more PS1 classics and PSP games than I do physical PS3 games. :|

I don't know really who was surveyed, but these results are not very flattering, haha.
Gaming for 10+ straight hours?! Can't date anyone that 'gets in the way' of playing games?!
Yikes.

@Uncle Jesse its because of the economy.. All the once well off ps3 original owners have now become unemployed bums that are left with their ps3s and way too much time on their hands lol..

I'm hoping that the 10+ hours is the extreme, not the norm. Hell, I was sick as a dog a few months ago, and played final fantasy iv for most of the day.
And I read the 'getting in the way' comment as if a girlfriend was saying that to be with them, you'd have to stop playing video games completely.

I'm like most and don't eat while gaming, but that's not because I need to concentrate or anything. I don't want to get my controllers all greasy!

I guess my girlfriend technically gets in the way of my gaming, but call me crazy...I'm willing to give up several hours a week in order to spend time with a woman. They're softer than a controller.

To me that's really healthy behavior, and I've worried about people that were unwilling to spend time with a gf because they'd rather game.
I still read 'getting in the way' along the lines of a gf demanding that someone stop gaming completely, even if it's just a minor hobby.

Just a thought but maybe you shouldn't have bought a PS3. Quite expensive for 3 games. I don't get people like you.

Likewise...
PS3 Games = 3 (Resistance: Fall of Man, MotorStorm and Warhawk)
360 Games = 162

more like 40% of gamers can't even work up the courage to get a date, don't give them false hope joystiq! All they need is there consoles for TEN HOURS A DAY and internet prons for love in the evening. The remaining 60% of us shall play a couple hours, maybe go outside and then have a beer and get laid. ;)
