PlayStation®3 General Discussion

[thecabbage]

I've recently become a community writer for the 'Welcome to the Goo' website & podcast and I was thinking of writing a piece about us European older gamers. 

Now I know there's been threads before about older gamers but I wondered who were the oldest gamers in our community?  What perspective does it give us on the way games have developed over the years?

And have we always felt left out in europe?  I know there were master system games I wanted from japan, and I remember it took ages for the megadrive to come out here....

My dad is in his late 50's and plays games.

Only racing games though, mainly motorbike racing games. (PS2 too)

Gonna have to get him updated at some point. XD

My Dad is knocking on 70 - but there is NO way I'd let him near a PS3...

I get enough grief being 24/7 Technical Support for his PC

Knew a guy called Bob who played call of duty, he was 56 iirc . He wasnt casual either! pretty much every day for hours on end he played with us "youngsters" (this is on PC tho not PS3)

[thecabbage]
