I still use mine the same amount. I finished up AC:Brotherhood & slowly making it through Mortal Kombat.

I suck at MP but I do go on PSN for demos, videos, etc.

Yes... but only by coincidence.

Seriously! By coincidence.

I only ever really used it for GT5 & Heavy Rain anyway. Other than those games, it was pretty much a dust collector. It's gone from a few hours a week back to almost none. So yeah, I'm using it less.

I haven't even turned it on since the outage (well, just once).

Rebelwithoutacause · 04-30-2011, 01:14 AM

When I first picked up my PS3 Slim last October, I never used it at all. I didn't start using it until a few months after I had upgraded my TV to a 2010 Panasonic G25. Since then, I have been using it every other day to play SSFIV for an hour to two hours a day with friends.

BorrowedTime · 04-30-2011, 01:16 AM

I have been using my PS3 less since the outage, BUT...

... it's mostly due to the fact that the television series "Game of Thrones" prompted me to go buy the books that it was based on, and I've had my nose buried in 4 very thick 1000 page tomes. However, if the PSN were up I probably would not have bought the books when I did, and would have been playing SOCOM 4 MP in my free time instead.

TL OWNS U · 04-30-2011, 01:23 AM

No. In fact I'm playing it more than ever. Since there's no online it gives me more focus on other games I haven't played in a while.

MOONPHASE · 04-30-2011, 04:23 AM

Not really. Sure I keep switching from playing on my PS3 to my PSP ever since PSN has been down, but overall, I would say it hasn't slowed me down.

Toptube · 04-30-2011, 04:42 AM

no not really. but it would be nice to finally be able to access steamworks, sync my accounts, and finally play Portal 2 on PC

cajmoyper · 04-30-2011, 04:51 AM

No but I haven't really been playing online lately. Don't get me wrong, if it were up, I would've been playing some MW2 or U2 online but this outage has given new life to the greatest $10 I ever spent: Tetris. And I've been watching BD's just the same. Actually less in the past few weeks since I bought my new BD-enabled laptop. Wow. On second thought, I guess I have been neglecting it. Poor baby.

Psx0005 · 04-30-2011, 04:57 AM

Nope, using it just as much as I was before the PSN went down. If anything, the PSN being down has helped me focus on the offline aspects of most of my games and I was able to finish both Killzone 3 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 on the offline single-player aspects. Gonna probably start on either Borderlands: GotY or Uncharted 2: GotY editions now.

cajmoyper · 04-30-2011, 04:59 AM

Uncharted 2! Do it!

bigmac558 · 04-30-2011, 01:37 PM

I haven't even turned it on since PSN went down. And now that Xbox has hulu, it may just gather dust for awhile.

I've played Black Ops single player for 30 mins and that was over a week ago. It has not been on since. More movie time at the moment for me.

My gaming time hasn't been affected by the outage, seeing as I don't participate much in multiplayer anyway. Most of the time spent online are for downloading demos and synchronizing trophies.

OG Pooh · 04-30-2011, 03:11 PM

The funny thing is that even though I'm playing the PS3 less (actually not at all) since PSN has been down... I'm not an online player. Recently, all I was doing was collecting my daily gift of museum cards & paint chips in GT5 & trading cars back & forth between accounts. Since I can't do that without PSN, I haven't even turned my PS3 on. Basically, it sees about as much use as it did before GT5 & Heavy Rain... None.
