Ever since the first Playstation system came out, I have always been a loyal player. In fact, I remember when the Playstation 2 came out, I was camping out in the Wal-Mart layaway area waiting to be the first person to get one at midnight. The first three games I bought were Madden, SSX and Ready to Rumble 2. My boss wasn’t too happy when I called in sick the next day.
When the Playstation 3 and 4 were released, I waited, because I wanted to see which games were going to be released. Eventually, I did purchase both systems, but the PS4 was by far the best purchase I had made in a long time. I never took the money and invested in any of the other systems. I wanted to stay true to one brand and thought nothing could be better.
