Having recently gotten a paycheck (that was long overdue) from the job I had over the winter as a councelor at a sports program for kids noticing that it was just enough for a PS3 and therefore also well over enough for a 360 I figured "why not. I've missed some sick games being a wii only owner. I should get one". Then began the research. Back in 2006 if future me told past me I was going to buy a PS3 at some point I might have fallen over laughing. I thought of the console as a joke back then. Sure the 360's were exploding and what not but at least they had exclusives that were worth a damn.

Well as it turns out over the past 3 years the PS3 has significantly improved their line up the pinnacle of such being inFAMOUS, Valkyria Chronicles, MAG, God of War III, etc. Considering the only exlusives on 360 I'd get would be Halo 3, Mass Effect (2), and maybe Gears, I was leaning towards the PS3 side of the coin.

The thing to push me over the edge was actually a silly comment. I was watching the Backloggery Live stream of Uncharted when Nathan came upon the corpse of Drake (I think. I missed some plot). Someone in the chat said something along the lines of "zombie time". I, a huge zombie fan, thought surely that was a joke. There's no way this game would have zombies. So I said "If this game has zombies I'll buy a PS3 tomorrow" and then BOOM. 5 seconds later, zombies.

I was like "OMGWTFBBQ". Immediately after that I believe it was drumble who said "looks like someone has to buy a PS3". Well I am a man of my word and that following Thursday I ordered a Killzone 2/MGS4 bundle from Best Buy due to arrive sometime this coming week.

Now I'm looking over all the multiplats and exclusives I've missed these past 3 years. I have quite a collection to build.
