PlayStation 3 Turns Five

Posted on Thursday, November 17 @ 10:03:20 Eastern by GR_Staff

5 years. In most cases, this would mean the end of a console's lifecycle. But not the PS3. Sony built the PS3 with the future in mind, and it's only now that developers are really taking advantage of the console's hardware. The console itself has had many changes, both in appearance and in functionality. Things have been removed, but much more has been added.

Strangely enough, PSN is down for maintenance.

I'm crazy for hoping it isn't normal maintenance. Actually, I'm an idiot.

Heh, it's funny how Final Fantasy XIII was a big deal. And then it came out, played for a short while, and was never spoken of again.
