It all started in 1998, when I was over at a friend’s house and played for the first time in a psx, the game was twisted metal, and from that day on, I was hooked. I asked my parents for a psx, but they said times were rough, that they couldn´t afford it. But then at Christmas, I saw a big box under the tree, in it was my very own psx, my parents bought it with the game crash bandicoot. I would come back home from school every day, do my homework as fast as I could, so my mom would allow me to play for a while (I was very young). To this day I still have my working psx, and from time to time I like to plug it in and play some crash (even though I did not finish the game until recently), which will forever be my most beloved game.
Then in 2003 I got the ps2, It was once again Christmas and me and my cousins played downhill domination that holiday like there was no tomorrow. With the ps2 I became a more serious gamer, and I actually finished the games I started. The first game I ever finished was downhill domination, then I played devil may cry, and with it... Everything else, from god of war to need for speed, I played every genre I could, although I could only play on the weekends, I felt like my whole life was transformed, I was thinking about it day and night, videogames were always with me.
Then I hit a rough patch in middle school, but in 2007 I got a psp, it was my best friend, everywhere I went, the psp was with me, I was lonely, but in the games, I did not feel that way, with my psp I got the game I have spent the most time with Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology. My psp was with me everywhere, music in the bus, games when I felt lonely, music while I rode my BMX bike, it was with me everywhere.
Then my whole life had a rough turn, when my parents got divorced, I stopped seeing my dad for a while, and those where hard days, I moved away and changed schools, this was actually a blessing, as my social life grew and I was no longer lonely. Then in about september-october, 2008 I saw my dad again, and he brought me a brand new flaming 40gb ps3 with unreal tournament 3, he has been with me since, I am always playing with my friends, and as they all started getting their ps3s (like seriously it’s the best console available why wouldn´t they) we started a trophy war which I am currently winning with 800 trophies.
I have to say, as I grew with play station, play station also grew. It has never stopped evolving, it never stops amazing me, and it always becomes bigger and better. From crash, to uncharted 3, one of the most important play station studios, naughty dog, has never let me down; this is one of the examples of why I have always chosen my play station.
