Morning Hangover: Are You Giving Your Other Consoles Extra Love Due To PSN Outage?

The Console Wars: Rise of the Machines

So the PlayStation Network has been down for over a week now and I'm wondering how you've all been coping. Are you guys okay? Is the Playstation 3 your only console? Have you been forced to enjoy only single player experiences, or are you a multi-console owner and have been giving extra love to your Xbox 360, Wii, or PC? I want to know what you've been playing since the PSN has been down. I personally don't even own a PS3 (I'm waiting for The Last Guardian, I'm weird) but I've been playing a lot of Half-Life 2 on my new PC. What about you?

    Since I mainly play on my PC this has no effect on me as to what I am playing on. I am replaying some older RTS games which seem to be a lot harder then I remember.

    As much as it pains my fellow PS3 brothers,
    I am not at all affect by this at all.
    I got the YLOD (Yellow Light of Death) on the day before Portal 2 came out,
    (Yes, it sucks when it stuff happens that prevents you from pdoing what you want.)
    So I find it funny that if I can t play my PS3 online no one can! (Except for Single Play.)
    I have been watching my friends tring to cope with this, but I can t help but laugh.
    I have been playing my 3DS like crazy, (sadly only playing a DS game, Pokemon White)
    and I have to say that I am okay about not having a PS3 for a while.
    As long as I buy a new one before Uncharted 3 comes out I will be fine.
    <3

    I beat portal 2 on my PS3 so I turned on my 360 for some L4D and play punch out on my Wii.

    I find it weird that someone who writes for G4 does not own all 3 systems. How can a person only reviews games on just one system and then say they will spend $300 to play a game when it comes out later next year.

    I'm playing Portal 2 Co-op.....with myself.

    It kind of poses it's own unique challenge, having two controllers on my lap. Especially when I come across puzzles that require specific timing.

    I have other games on the backlog, but I hate switching back and forth between games.

    It's not like the PS3 does not work or is broken like my red ringed 360. There's more to gaming than just playing online....

    I don't own a RROD360 because I have a PC. Usage has been about the same except for the fact I bought SOCOM 4 mainly for multiplayer so that got borked.

    Still playing my PS3, catching up on the single player campaigns. I don't think my percentage has changed.

    Yes, with the Playstation Network still down, I've discovered a relatively new form of entertainment for myself: going outside :o

    Well since I only used my PS3 for Blu-rays and Netflix but now my new tv streams netflix it 's back to collecting dust anyway so I didnt even know there was a problems until a day or so after it all started. Im still just playing my Xbox no different than the last 4 years or so Ive had it.

    Yea, and one more thing. I buy XBOX360 only if a Shenmue 3 will be XBOX exclusive.

    It is the end of the school year, so this is actually almost a godsend. If the Network was up I probably wouldn't have gotten nearly as far on my senior thesis, art journal, two 5 page papers, and a 10 page paper. But now I'm nearly done with those and have nothing to do.... I suppose I'd rather play single player than pick up my wii again.
