A little late (okay, really late) but I bought the PS3 when they were $700 ($800?)... didn't turn it on for nearly a year....Well okay. TIL that I'm an irrational fool. I did buy the fat PS3 back in... uh, 2006? Early 2007? So I could play as-yet released FF13 and DMC4 as well as GT5, all three of them years away at the time.
And imagine my scalp boiling over when I learned that both FF13 and DMC4 went multi-platform. I wouldn't have forked out that much moolah for a PS3 in the first place and would've gotten the cheaper 360 instead.... And GT5 turned out to be a spectacular mess on launch. Ah, the memories.
I played it once I think, then unplugged it and plugged my PS2 back in so I could play my import games.
