I have a PS2 as well, Becky, and I still play it. I hate that PS3 isn't backwards compatible.And I use my PS3 a lot as a DVD player as well, and to stream Netflix. I probably use it those ways more than for actual games.. But I do play games on it!
I too have a PS3, Wii, and PS2 (plus a DSi XL). And the PS2 still gets the most gaming use (currently playing Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2). The PS3 is used mostly as a blu-ray player. Only Dragon Age Origins got a lot of play on the PS3. Second most played system in probably the DSi as it has such a great variety of games (including the Dragon Quest series).
Oh yeah, I have a DS as well.. But It hurts my hands to hold for long periods of time, so I only play it occasionally.
Up until about a year ago, I still had an PS2 and an NES sitting in the house that got played a few times here and there.
I think I've actually had, at one point in time, every single major gaming system available. Even the Saturn, which I still mourn to this day. Poor little guy, never got the love he deserved.

I had a Saturn! Sonic was very fun :-)
I don't do a lot of console game play cause I'm a button masher.
Now, give me a pseudo-gun and I'm dropping targets like flies. One shot, one kill. I love the target practice game that came with my Wii zapper.
Lol...*shakes head* So you were the one that enabled your brother, MrsJ. Shame shame shame
This thread sort of brought me up short as it actually asks a question I'd have to be at least semi-serious to answer... I'll try (feel free to skip over me and go on with the game discussion :)1. one God (albeit in 3 "persons")
2. two Children I raised
3. three intense interests (at least for now) Reading (fantasy and other genres), writing (which I will not belabor as writers can do that), outdoor (hunting, camping, shooting, crafting etc.) interests
Mike, what kind of crafting do you do?
"Right now (LOL)" I'm doing leather crafting. I did some way long ago when I was young (a little) and it was one of those things I "always meant to get back to". When I wore out the wallet I'd carried for years and I had one laying here cut out and waiting. it seemed the time. So, I tooled and stitched it up. Now I've made my wallet, cases for a sheath knife and 3 pocket knives (so far), tooled a watch band, made my daughter a change purse, made a wristband for my daughters "little-sister (big brothers and big sisters organization)... I have a case for my Buck waiting to be finished right now and a several other knives I'm planning to make cases for. Then...holsters!My daughter says I go through obsessive hobby phases, she may be right. LOL
The wii is collecting dust and I use the X Box the most.

I use the PS3 for streaming movies from Sony as well as Blu Rays and DVDs I also use it for BBC's I Player.
Mike, I go through hobby phases the exact same way! Sounds very cool!
I think it means I am (or we are) a certain type of person...OCD. LOL
So do I! And I can only go full-tilt on one thing at a time. I made teddy bears with every spare moment for years - except for a knitting phase that produced the Doctor Who scarf and half a sweater. And assorted other phases. Always went back to the fuzzies though.
In the past I've painted pewter figure (as in D&D figures), I have a few hundred of those. I need new glasses so I stopped that well before we moved here. I shoot and collect air guns and for a while it was all I did... Iv I "need" a book mark I sometimes stop everything and make a new one. You get the idea. I go to the "Y" almost everyday, I'm hoping that will lead to me being able to be on my feet more than a couple of hours a day, maybe even get back in a tent now and then.Of course I read a bit (LOL) and try to write. I have a novel I'm in the middle of a re-write on and several in various stages of completion... Oh well. :)

:D

I've got several of those...I think I get my kicks out of just getting the plot down on paper (or pixels *shrug*) and then I move on to the next idea when I starts bubbling around in my head.
Did you ever try NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)? It's a challenge to get 50K words of a novel down on paper (or pixels). I finally did it last November, and it was ridiculously fun.
A whole month of not reading tho...geez. I'd curl up and die
Oh, I still got reading in, don'tchoo worry ... I'd have been a drooling shell if I hadn't. I'd have to be at death's door not to make time to read, and even then it'll be "Hang on, just let me finish this chapter".

I'm a great cheerleader (or whip-wielder) if anyone needs a little extra encouragement... ;)

Tracey wrote: "I will remember that this year!"I'll see you there! :)
I thnk I want to try, too! I might even get 1/2 of a book finished at some point in my life...
MrsJoseph wrote: "I thnk I want to try, too! I might even get 1/2 of a book finished at some point in my life..."You definitely should. The more the merrier. I would never get any writing done* without people breathing down my neck... NaNo is a great way to get a bunch of encouragement for free!
* Okay, I lie. I would write. I would get lots of odd scenes scribbled on bus tickets, and never stitch them together into anything readable.
Ok, I have one child, a 15 month-old son named Nikolai (aka Munchkin, or Munchy or just Munch, along with a ton of other assorted pet names), two pets, a black lab, Sir Galahad Puppington (aka Pup or Puppy), and a furry white cat, Merlin (aka Squish, Mouse, or any of the other countless names I call him) and I've been with my guy for three years. I also own a PS3 :)
Hah, that's funny. I have a 16.5 month only named Lucas, who we also call Munch or Munchy (or more lately, Buba).

I am working on a 3rd minor (in History) in addition to the BA in Philosophy that I earned in 2003. My other two minors are theology and classical languages (Latin and Greek). I need the equivalent of a minor in order to successfully cross-over from Philosophy to History and be able to pursue graduate studies.
