Well you see, now only owners of the Sony™ Playstation 3™ HD Multimedia Entertainment Platform™ can play LittleBigPlanet 2™; By making a PC version of LittleBigPlanet 2™ you would thus loose the exclusive release status that the game currently has on the Playstation 3™ Platform™

Phrased like this because I have seen people actual argument stuff like that

I like it when legos dudes spend the effort to type it out as the officially kosher "LEGO" and correct people on it.

Well, the game is exclusive to the PS3 and is a reason to buy a PS3 over getting a PC. Porting the game over to the PC would be another reason to just get a gaming computer and not a PS3. :v:

Or more likely, humanity continues to show off how moronic it's becoming.

Young kids for one, who are probably the bulk of people that get riled up over how many exclusives their system has. I'm a grown rear end man who can afford to spend money on all the frivolous bullshit I want, but when I was 10 I knew with a rock hard certainty that if I got an N64 I would not be getting another console for at least five years.

But yeah, that's a bit like asking who owns just one pair of running shoes anymore, different people have different tastes is all.

Ugh, after getting a really nice job, I thought I would finally get a console to go with my nice PC and be a ~very progressive, open-minded gamer~.

Worst decision ever.

I moved back in August and I still haven't taken my PS3 out of the box.

As a life long PC gamer (who occasionally played on previous generation consoles) that bought an Xbox 360 about 9 months ago, I can only say that you're really not missing out on much. You might think so otherwise due to all the stupid media bullshit, but really, you're not missing out on a god damned thing. Don't waste the money like I did.

edit: Apart from the controller, but just get an xbox controller with a wire for the PC. It's flippin awesome.

I also own just a PC and a Wii. May be getting 360 as well but mostly because it's free, which I guess I'll use for console exclusives that just never ever see pc releases, tho thinking about it I'd probably own all of like 10 games for the 360, where as the PC, it's hundreds and growing.

I get their point, when you are confined to a system where you only buy a few games a year, you want your exclusives, it validates your choice and whatnot. Poor poor saps that don't know any better.

Am I a heretic for having a PC and two consoles which are the PS3 slim and Wii? And I still have an N64 and SNES stored in a closet.

Although my Wii and PS3 are collecting dust while my PC and 3DS (which is not a console) are getting most of the attention. I still have these systems because I'm still waiting on the new Zelda and The Last Guardian. There aren't any 360 exclusives I want to play so I don't have one and I'm not getting one either.

my god, what are you doing
I've got a PC, Wii, and PS3. PC is always great, Wii has been amazing if a little light on releases, and PS3 is an overcomplicated Blu-Ray player with some disappointing games.

I tend to go for games that are fast and movement-based, so twitchy FPSes and Mario usually do good for me. If ID slows down Rage to work better with analog sticks I don't know what I'm going to do. I wanna rocket-jump a car, dammit!

I do really, really want to play Red Dead Redemption and Bayonetta, but I'm not about to buy a console just for those two games. I have a 360 that I got from a friend, he got it refurbished and never used it before he joined the navy. I was kinda excited for it and signed up for gamefly and queued up 20 games and it red ringed 20 minutes into the first game I tried it on. So it's been dead in a closet ever since.

Everything else that's worth playing comes out on the PC, and I've taken to emulating my PS2 collection when I want to play something consolely (can't stop playing MLB Power Pros 2008). I'm disappointed I wont play those games, but oh well! When my PC plays both Okami and Shogun 2, I can't complain too much.

edit: Oh, and I have the handhelds, but those don't really count as consoles.

I used to feel the same way when my only current gen consoles were a Wii and 360, but I got my PS3 back in August and I'm a little shocked at how many amazing PS3 exclusives I've played since then. Almost all of the good American/Euro games are better on the PC, but my god the Japanese games.

Yakuza, Valkyria Chronicles, Demon's Souls, 3d Dot Heroes, Katamari Forever, Metal Gear 4, Nier, and Disgaea 4 just to name a few I've bought since then. I still spend most of my gaming time on the PC, but many of those games offer types of gameplay that are wholly unrepresented on the PC. It's why I boot up my PS3 every weekend while my 360 has only been on once since Christmas, and that was only to try out the Bulletstorm demo that hadn't come out on the PC yet.

I've never been happier with PS3 / PC combo, it just works so well. Sony somehow just knows I have a PC and want to hook the PS3 up to my monitor and a subwoofer / receiver for audio and supports all that out of the box.
