What do you use your PS3 for? (Games, BDs, etc.) - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Robmx · 11-18-2007, 12:01 PM

I voted both even though its 95% movies and 5% games.... Have a feeling that will change when Gran Turismo HD comes out !

LOL... does it really matter? It seems that people are still only choosing the three options on your original poll.

I bought it for the BD player but i'm addicted to COD4!!! So i've been playin more games then movies recently.

Selrahcterb · 11-18-2007, 07:37 PM

I use it for both. I bought the PS3 over the Xbox because I wanted to watch Blu ray as well. so far, I have 2 games and 12 movies (I missed out on the free movie deal).

I use mine for games and movies. Love both !

BLu-Balls · 11-18-2007, 07:51 PM

Mainly for the BD's. Just waiting for some great games. Not many exclusives for the PS3 out yet. Sony servers are also garbage and hinder the online feature.

Rike255 · 11-18-2007, 07:55 PM

The only thing in that list I don't use it for is File Storage, to an extent I do but not a lot I suppose. I store all my music on my PS3. I voted all of the above.

Bombthroat · 11-18-2007, 08:22 PM

Mostly Blu-ray movies, but some games as well.

Ditto, plus it is fun to use the PSN store for trailers and demo's and stuff.

ESUNintel · 11-18-2007, 08:38 PM

I use it mainly for gaming, folding@home and surfing the web. I've also used it as a Blu player a couple of times.
I used to have a gaming PC in my room, but the PS3 took its place. The PS3 is capable of better graphics, and can fold a lot more in less time. I don't really use the PS3 as a Blu player a whole lot cause I have a laptop with a BD drive, and also a stand alone BD player in the family room.

powersfoss · 11-18-2007, 08:40 PM

Games, Movies, and Folding@Home.

blu2 · 11-18-2007, 10:00 PM

Games + movies.

AlaskaDon · 11-18-2007, 10:09 PM

I would say mine is used about 90% for movies and 10% for gaming. I played God of War 1 and 2 on it, and I bought Guitar Hero III a couple of weeks ago. Mine is hooked up to a pj in my theater room currently and I don't much like gaming on it. Once a good profile 1.1 or 2.0 stand-alone is available, I will be connecting it back to the plasma in my living room and it will see more gaming use. Or I may just get another PS3, but I'm leaning towards a stand-alone for the theater set-up.

Disco_And · 11-18-2007, 10:21 PM

I use mine for movies, but I will use it for gaming when GT5 and Guitar Hero III comes out over here

should of made a multi select poll lol

Sane · 11-19-2007, 12:19 PM

Mostly games for me - but some movie usage as well.

I also actually use it to surf from time to time! My PC is getting a bit old and needs a couple of minutes to boot. For certain things, it's just faster to use my PS3 now!

buckshot · 11-19-2007, 01:03 PM

I chose movies only. as I have 108 blu rays, only 3 video games (1 of which I play), and 5 SACDs. so over 90% of my usage is for movies.
