Not me.
I think Dust 514 is cool and would love to play it.
But I'm not buying a new gaming system just to play it. |

I did and it was cheap and as good as new for 70Gé¼ 
model was the old fat one but as they have less cooling problems and slim version doesn't differ that much I'm happy and DUST is awesome. I suggest you buy your self in for a measly 20Gé¼ if you don't get lucky in access pass lottery.  |

I did, I have an XBOX360 that has been gathering dust (no pun intended) for several years now. I am not a huge fan of consoles to begin with but I love eve just don't have time to sit down for 4 hours at a time anymore what with real life and all.
EVE ruined every other game for me as they just don't feel as immersive without a single shard server and a skill tree that takes more than a decade or two to fill out.
Hopefully DUST will be as fulfilling and complex as eve without requiring at least a 4-8 hour game play session to get something out of it.
But I will feel stupid if they release it for the PC a year after the PS3 release. |

I was thinking about buying PS3 to be able to play it but after second though I gave up that idea. Main reasons for that were DUST looks pretty poorly both in visual and gameplay compared to BF3. But if CCP will make PC version some day I'll give it a try. For now Dust is not worth to spent my money for PS3. Basicly if i want to shoot i play BF3. |

Looks like lots of people are falling for sony's ploy here. Why do you really think dust is exclusive to the ps3....? If the game was to be released on the pc as well no one would be forking over hundreds of dollars at a time like you lot are. Both ccp and now sony knows how "die hard" the even community is and how willing many of them are to throw gobs of real life cash at their eve experience. You've been played boys and girls, now it's time to wake up and smell the capitalism. |

You are insane. I already had the above items (only use the pile for playing movies), installed the beta and quickly uninstalled. What utter garbage. Ugly console crap looks like ugly console crap. It might be tolerable on a decent gaming rig, but I don't think they're going to port it right? |

I love Dust and I will keep spending on it, just like EVE. This is very little money for the number of hours I spend having fun every day... cya out there... |

If CCP would want men to play Dust then it would be available to all platforms.. But I guess they (CCP) just figured out which of the camps is the easiest to fool.

I will never buy a ps3 .. especially not to play a fps game, since console fps is inferior to pc fps in many way. Although I did hear you can use mouse. Anyway I have a pc and will not be wasting vast amounts of money on a soon to be outdated console. Sad because i'd really like to buy dust and play it. |

This is where I wish it was possible to purchase a software emulator as I really have no need for a console. This whole strategy just shows how inferior it is playing a FPS game on a console...

Nope. Not going to. A game like Dust belongs on the PC, and I won't buy a console just to play it. I was really, really looking forward to Dust before I found out it was console exclusive.
Does CCP really expect the PS3 player base at large to enjoy the persistence, skills, etc that PC MMO players are into? At college I lived in a building full of console gamers. Hell I joined in from time to time. But they don't go for this kind of stuff. Consoles are usually enjoyed in the presence of company, and if you die and pass off the controller, you don't care if the guy your giving it to gets the tank blown up.
Just imagine the first time someone logs in and realizes that they have to earn the money for their tank, and when they lose it its gone. Yep, this is going to end well.
If this PS3 shenanigans falls through, the loyal CCP player base will still be here. On the PC. |

Agreed, that is insanity spending that kind of money on a console that will most likely be upgrading to a new console before long anyhoo. We all know the xbox/ps come out with a bigger/faster edition every few years. Besides Eve is a PC game...why is there no PC version...deeeerrrrrppp. |

My story might be one of the crazier ones...
So a close friend told me about Eve a time ago, but I wasn't into PC games much, I've always been a hardcore console shooter guy. Then he tells me about Dust514, and how it coexists with Eve. Finally his and my skills on both platforms could be put to the test as one. But alas, Dust was only for PS3, and I only had an Xbox...
So in my state of sadness, I joined (and became addicted to) Eve. been playing for about a month, I've nearly abandoned the Xbox games and I've also "aquired" a younger sibling's PS3, and decided to download the beta once CCP started giving them out... in short, I believe this was all perfect timing  |

I was seriously considering it. But then I saw the planetside 2 trailers and came to my senses. Buying a -ú200 sony shitbox just to play dust really isn't worth it for me. Im sure im not the only one who will be playing planetside 2 giving my money to sony and only sony because of ccp's terrible decisions.
But hey. A man can only hope that it goes **** up in 3 months time when the console kids move on to the the nezxt COD or BF and we get a pc version anyway. |

This is where I wish it was possible to purchase a software emulator as I really have no need for a console. This whole strategy just shows how inferior it is playing a FPS game on a console... 
You have it backwards mate.. You are suppost to buy a TV and use it as a monitor.. Not use a monitor as a TV.

There's no way to justify spending $400 on a game and console. It will fail completely, and the reason why it'll fail is because it's not cross-platform.

When Dust 514 is released, we'll all have to pay the cost to purchase the full game BD/download. After that, the only other cost incurred is not specifically related to Dust 514 but necessary to play the game, the cost of your internet connection. Otherwise, you won't need anything else to keep playing. Likely CCP will release booster/map packs or whatever to gain a little extra $$$ since they won't profit monthly from the game like EVE.
I'm so very glad CCP went with Sony PS3 and am even more excited at this "cross-console" idea.

I started saving up for a PS3 when Dust was announced as a PS3 exclusive last year. Just bought it 2 months back for the beta, with a Move with Camera, Nav controller, and Sharpshooter. Then a Hori TAC3 for the KB+M support. I went out last weekend to get a PS Vita to get onto the Neocom beta (which isn't even a full game, just an app for Dust).
I think I may need some counselling...but Sony and CCP probably wouldn't think so :p
Edit: And I'm pretty sure I can find some other uses for the hardware other than playing Dust :s |

Bought a PS3 just for dust. It cost $160.
So I figure 10 months of DUST will be the equivalent of 10 months of EVE. At that rate, the PS3 has paid for itself. I do hope CCP gets enough Aurum buying crack addicts to join the game upon launch. The microtransactions with DUST will prove to be the moneymaker. IF those don't happen, we could be in for a bumpy ride.
But yeah, Sony got a lot of us in this thread to pony up the $160-$200 for the console. So I guess that's a good sign... |

They changed their minds on that.
Though I am wondering on how they plan to prevent people starting up alts just to send the startup Isk to themselves now that their is no cost to do so.
Perhaps they plan to tag the starting isk as none tradable? Some games do things like that. |

While I definitely wouldn't have bought my PS3 due to Dust and am not into the game at all, you sir are wrong in the above statement. That's just one way consoles are enjoyed.
As for the topic, I picked up one of the old PS3's, (that'll play all PS games), a couple years back, off fleabay for a good price. (with a handful of games) As per my other thread, unfortunately I got as far as character creation in Dust & turned it off due to an inability to read on-screen text on a 25" non-HDTV. (which I find pretty lame)
Dust is a neat idea but I expect it'll ultimately fail. Also, all of you who picked up consoles & TV's etc. just for it, are insane little button monkeys!  |

After playing only a couple matches it is slightly underwhelming so far, graphics are nice and open world but could be more polished, I'm assuming its slightly under best quality because it was designed to handle 20+ player games all shooting and exploding, and interacting with another server at full speed. The skills and weapon selection and the customization is very nice but skills are just there to eventually get a weapon or tank or dropsuit to what it should be, so just put that carrot on the stick for everyone.... I am worried about the pay to play aspect that you can level your character faster if you pay for boosts, therefor directly influencing the fact that people who pay for the first months for boosts, will have a significant advantage as they will be higher level then everyone else if they play the same amount, and higher skills = more dmg and accuracy. I'm excited by what I see so far, it seems like an eve version of halo with some added things, and some nice changes. Also very worried that with the cost of gear people will camp way too much and only move in groups, I guess its more realistic because people don't want to die, and won't suicide rush as much which can be nice... we shall see, looking forward to a more polished version, more maps and more open environments, etc. Lastly the ability to use keyboard and mouse I think any pc game would agree is far better then the joystick controller, except for maybe some young kids brought up with one of those in their hands (that was pretty much me tho since the NES) so I don't know how I can compete with people who are using a mouse at home... debating whether to hook mine up and get to work or if I should try to learn how to be good with the joysticks... |

We can't say much here with the NDA still on but I don't think there will be perceived skill problem with early starters in DUST like there is perceived to be in EVE Online. Not that I agree there is a problem as you can target your training in EVE and be combat ready fairly soon. Rifters can take down BS's! Nuff said. 
PS just reread your post. If you started playing EVE in 2006 you can't really consider yourself to be 'behind' anyway. I have only been playing two to three years and I don't consider myself to be behind. |

With the PS3 slim out, I went shopping for a used PS3. Thinking people would be up to get the newest and greatest. But the prices were still outrageous. So moeping around my last store, I see a on sale sign. And its for a "new" 360G PS3 (not the slim) for 229. Quick check with my phone doing some comparsion shopping. The cheapest used (at the time) was 20 dollars more. So I got it. And I only play Dust514 and PSHome. Now I have to buy blue rays LOL, I got Prometheus and it looked great!
So I guess I got a good buy. And while Dust is still looking beta-ish, I'm enjoying it!

Still on the fence there. I never been a console person and I do have a xBox, and a Blue-Ray player. So, I do really see the ned to spending $200 for another game console that will collect dust like the xBox (Really only used for Netflix). Also, not fond of, controller based, FPS games. I prefer Keyboard and Mouse and built a rig that is more than powerful enough. I don't like the fast that this game is not on the PC as I feel consoles hinders the graphic updates where the PCs can have hardware upgrades when match to the EvE visual upgrades that we have been seeing over the last couple years.

Got beta-key in the first wave that went to EVE subscribers, but at that point I lacked the courage to burn money and wife was still receiving high dopamine dose from D3, so -- I gave it to a CCP friend that works with Dust community to share it.
Tonight we ordered PS3; tomorrow it arrives and we also have to go hunt a TV/monitor for it, too, as been living ten years without one.
I now reapplyed for another beta-key on several mails, but I think it will not come until tomorrow... :) Should we go for MercPack or there is still a way to get free beta-access through PSN special offers?

Bought the PS3 as soon as I knew which platform it was going to be on.. for sure, as opposed to maybe, sure.
Just bought the Move and Sharpshooter; that was probably a mistake and waste of money in retrospect. My first experience with it was like trying to ride a horse that wnts to throw you. Haven't tried it in any other games, but comments I've read suggest it might be just Dust? Either way, Nintendo made one better. zubzubzubzubzubzubzubzub |

Dust514 was the tipping point that convinced me to buy a PS3. There are other games I've missed out on that I'd love to play but essentially Dust was the game that convinced me.

HDMI cables are cables, don't pay more for "brands" its a marketting ploy. Its solder and wire, the quality of production has an upper limit. Same with headsets, it always makes me laugh to see people with Beats headphones. 50 quid for good headphones and another 250 for Dr Dres name on them. |

I am FREAKIN disappointed with this move.
Let me put it this way: I work. I have 3 hours a day I can put into games / recreation / movies. I have put YEARS into Eve already. I also play other games (World of Tanks, Borderlands 2 and SWToR)
So pray tell, why the FRICKING HELL would i go out and buy any console, just to play ONE GAME ON IT.
I have a pc. It does all my game stuff AND WORK..... I dont need to spend more money on it....it plays everything I want (and more) I dont have a magic wand to CREATE more time in my day.
Anyone else have the same RL situation?
Of course, if you are a kid and your parents buy your toys, or if you work an easy job and have 10 hours a day free, or whatever reason, I wont hold it against you, by all means i encourage more use of the internet for gaming! I simply wont be adding to your gaming experience (by adding another player to the mix, another resource to exploit while you play, another player for you to frag.... I am good canon fodder it seems.) All you will be playing with is other PS3 users? So...... 25 people?
Holy pancakes in the pants Batman.....ive waffled on. Now, back to my pc. (to game? work? email? read? code a site? code an app? watch a movie? burn one? who cares?!?!?!?! AT LEAST I CAN DO IT, lol) |

Yeah, call me a sucker. Bought a PS3 on the way to work this morning, just finished setting it up and buying the Beta/Merc Pack. Big snow storm rolling in tomorrow night, so I guess I'll be trying out DUST this weekend. 
And just to save face, I didn't buy it just for DUST: I really want to get into CoD. :) Fly Minmatar Air --- "Trust in the Rust!" |

Yep. Installing the beta right now, actually... still don't know how my EVE subscription gets me access to the beta though. Anyway, it only cost me $200AU because I got it preowned, but the morons who packaged it for delivery included two controller cables instead of one controller cable and a HDMI cable. Called them up to correct the error, but I only have on TV so switching the HDMI cable on my 360 back and forth to use the two devices is sufficient for now. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Haaaa, you see. You will be glad ... afterall PS can be used in a lot of ways and not only for DUST.
Have PS3 for years, closed beta key for months, downloaded patch 2.6GB yesterday ... didn't try yet. Maybe my kid will ... ummm , yes he will 100%  <> |

Spent the last few days working with the PS3, and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. Not in DUST (although some stuff is Eve-similar, a larger degree is completely new and, well, undocumented), but in the PS3. Single thing I REALLY hate about the PS3 is that I have to use TWO difference headsets on this thing: one for in-game chat/chatter/communications (USB), and a different one entirely for listening to DVD/BluRay stuff. Really poor implementation on Sony's part. Honestly, this might be a make-it-or-break-it for me personally, and strictly because of the console chosen. XBox is much more the "all-in-one" console/media center device, and PS3 just ain't it.
And no, I won't buy a PS4 when it comes out because I just forked out for the PS3. Fly Minmatar Air --- "Trust in the Rust!" |

There are also a lot of people who buy a console and play games on it because we can not afford a computer to play games on. A gaming computer can be quite expensive, while a console costs about the same as a part for a PC.
There is a large market out there of people not on the PC. They are already marketing to those on PC, and now they are opening to a new market. It is pretty easy stuff to understand really. |

1. It's "sheeple", dude. Get it right. 2. "aspies"? Is that anything like what you're doing commenting in this thread full of sheeple proclaiming that you're not a sheeple? 3. Cuz, DUST is the only game out there for PS3.

WELL DONE FOR STANDING AGAINST MICR0SLOP!!
I Cant believe the requirements to get onto the MS game servers! CCP would have had to virtually hand over rights and security..... wtf?!
So I take back my rant stating I hate the idea of buying a PS3 just to play Dust. I think I might buy one to SUPOPRT sony and CCP in their stand against the monolpoly.
I mean, frick off MS, you cant ask for a company to handover what its worked hard at for 9 years (? approx?) JUST TO GET ONTO YOUR NETOWRK.

I also went out and bought a PS3 just for Dust.
I bought mine from a pawn shop and for cheap. The funny thing is when I got it home and got everything up and running, it already had Dust installed. Win.
I also went and picked up a cheap $10 mouse and keyboard too. It's working quite nicely as a sniper. Trolling is like art. Anyone can finger paint, but it takes true talent to create a masterpiece. |

I have had a ps3 for a long time, but I am not interested in Dust.. Since its F2P I might get it at some point just to test, but I doubt I will keep playing it much. (Since I don't like FPSes) Make no mistake I want WoD.
Is Dust release waiting for Fanfest or what is the problem..? |

love your sig. troll. when and if i decide to play again it will be with the same old office cherry mechanical keyboard and microsoft 1.1 optical replaced a few times because i screw up the mouse wheel. they are perfect, you can't improve on them for what i want. i just ordered a kana because i'm down to my last 3 new mice and can't source any other good mice :) zero accel no ****, it works outa the box. always did. i'm betting this new steelseries has bugs i will find.
sadly the people at ccp china cant and couldnt make it work. and yes i bought a ps3 to play dust on.

I did buy PS3 in order to play dust. But it turned out that the graphics generated by PS3 is similar to 1998 PC and Dust is too ugly to look at. In addition to poor map that encourage camping and spawn killing, it was a waste of money. Now my PS3 is gathering dust, so to speak. |

Maybe i'll buy, later, ina year or two when Dust will be finished and i'll see when this is going. For now i don't have much faith in it. I like the shooting, running, driving; nice effects too. But only if there will be single player or PvE mode. Will buy the character btw. If not, i'll just leave it to the others to spend days shooting each other for e-peen. How boring is this... Gone to play STO long ago. It's has a hell of lot of flaws, but at least in it i can do more than just meaningless PvP here.
