[quote name='Estebon']I stopped some little kid from having his dad buy him one at GS recently. I told him, "look, it looks cool and everything but you'll never play any games for it". Its a dead system, don't do it.
Dad thanked me and kid seemed pissed at me. Oh well, it was for his own good.[/QUOTE]
that's a terrible story.
i bought a 3000 about a month ago. i absolutely love it, and i've only played around 3 games so far - metal gear acid, jeanne d'arc, and gta: chinatown. and i still have a ton of games on my radar i can't wait to play.
i have no idea why some of you think there are no worthwhile games for it; then again, i heard the same thing when i was buying my ps3... and there were a ton of worthwhile games for that, too (and way more, now).
that said, i'm still glad i got my UMD playing 3000, and used the price difference to buy a memory stick, game, extra battery, and case.
oh, and i have it loaded up with ffxii, ffxiii, wild arms, suikoden, silent hill, resident evil, and other greats from ps1 classics on psn. no games? yea, right.
