I feel like I got my money's worth out of it though. Before I got the 360, I was playing it more than ANY other disc-based system I've ever owned. I used to limit play to one hour, be very mindful of ventilation, etc...

Not with this one! This particular system... I played... A LOT!

I wish PS3 had a system like 360 that kept stats, length of time a game was played, etc.

If you click on my Raptr tag in my Profile, you'll see how much time I devoted to games like Mass Effect and Deadly Premonition on the 360, but for PS3, I got nuthin'!

They gave you $125 for a broken PS3? Nice!

Its meant to be played. I have owned many systems in my life and they all got played A LOT, thats the only way I play them. They are not supposed to break in a few years. My Saturn still works (ok that one got no love).

I only got $130 for my old PS3, the one I fixed myself so I can resell it back. Damn they do love you Leo.

And never ever buy any hardware used from this gen.

Sorry about your PS3, Leo. Glad to hear you've already sorted things out.

I played:

shadow complex

Finished it last night. It was a good game.

coh

And company of heroes. Couple missions in, and already fighting like a matter of life or death for every inch of the battlefield. It's pretty intense.

I had problems with a PS2, the old version. I traded it in for a slimmer version. I had the E74 error message on my 360 and had it fixed two weeks later and that's all of my hardware problems. I always make sure that the doors to my entertainment center are open while playing, but a little one likes to close them.

Well, it was worth $100, but they have a deal going on right now where you get an extra $25 when you trade in systems.

Awesome! We'll make a Metroid-Vania fan out of you yet!

Steel continues to play games that are like popular Nintendo games but still refuses to play the original FAR better versions.

Hey, it's not my fault the original FAR better versions never go down in price. Satoru Iwata is too fucking greedy.

Look into it. Maybe you could adopt.

Speaking of children, he is completely out of sorts today thanks to the time change.
