Happy to say I have a PC xD

[MindykinZ]

I have both :P

[Setsoru]

what do you play?
its lame this had to happen on the bank holiday weekend. i had lots of free time :(

[MindykinZ]

Yeah same! At the moment i am playing Homefront, Crysis 2 and Black Ops. To be honest I feel there is a limited amount of good games out there for the PS3 at the moment. Humph :(

[Setsoru]

[MindykinZ]

Ahh fair enough! My PSN is MindykinZ... Original :P What's yours?

[Setsoru]

should be setsoru ... i think :D

[Vicious Horizon]

Yeah I heard about that, not much of a PS3 person much, more of the 'holier than thou' PC Gamer if I'm honest xD

Sony blame 'hackers', but I'm not so sure, I think it's something going on at Sony D:

I haven't laughed quite that hard in a long time. Thankyou for that Cal.

[Chalex4]

Hahahahah amazing Cal. I'm not quite sure why these hackers wanted to deprive everyone of PSN :p. Seems a bit illogical as they're just hurting themselves.

Either way, welcome to ATK MindykinZ!

[Calneon]

Sucks to be a PS3 user. Oh wait, it's always sucked to be a PS3 player!

[Setsoru]

don't know if i can handle much more of this.. im just glad i havn't bought anything. I doubt ill buy the ps4 when it comes out... At least with microsoft, they are consistantly shit... with sony, you never know what you will get.

[Vicious Horizon]

Yeah, I'd rather know how shite the service I'm getting is, rather than thinking it's all good and then having all my money stolen xD

[Target]

In a way this is good for me, its stopped me playing black Ops on my flatmates PS3 so I can get some work done :D The only games I ever liked for consoles where GTA, driving games and FiFa
