  • 50% of the time you don't use your PS3 for gaming, study shows

    GameSpot's study shows that the majority of the population of all adult gamers 13 and older who own a PS3 only spend around 50% of their time playing games. Anyone else shocked that a system primarily created and designed for gaming is being used almost primarily for non-gaming?

            I use about 2% of my PS3 time gaming...

            It's been a bluray player + DLNA client for me. After Christmas, it'll just be a bluray player.

              Fact. Although it'll double duty as DVD player in our house. Boxee needs NFL Redzone before i go balls in.

              Oh, and I need to play some goddamn madden and NHL games.

                It's quite obviously not just designed as a games machine. It's very obviously had built in the Blu-Ray player, media player, browser, DLNA stuff exactly so it can be a mini home media centre.

                In the UK you can also get the online video on demand services from all the free to air networks, iPlayer, 4oD and ITV Player all have specialist apps built into PS3 now. Which is great, on demand streaming video in decent resolution on a big screen rather than having to watch round a PC or whatever.

                So it'd only be surprising if you were an idiot.

                  Well, look who started the thread - the man who spelt an easy name wrong when he first registered.

                    The word you are looking for is spelled.

                    Spelt is some English abomination of the word spell, when in reality its true definition is a type of grain fed to livestock.

                          No, it's 'spelt'; I learnt that at school, or maybe I dreamt it or just leapt to that conclusion momentarily - that is, for a brief moment, not in a moment. At any rate, it smelt to me like you burnt your English language books at school, or are spoilt and a language snob. Hopefully the colour and flavour of this post's humour is recognised as not patronising.
