When did you first play PS?

[I Hate Pants]

Now that iys been a year since the release of PS. Im curious as to when people first started palying theg ame.

For me it was August 18th 2003.

It showed my the orignial date of purchase in the subscription section of my PS log in screen.

[Hamma]

Sometime in March of last year I think :p If not february

[I Hate Pants]

Whoops. I thought I posted in the PS game forums.

[JetRaiden]

I started in febuary 2003, and have continued played consistently since.

[EineBeBoP]

Beta 1 month before release, then for a few months after.

twas a magical moment rushing Girru in Ishundar with tons of Vanu around me (i was lobbing Plasma nades and doing more damage to friendlies than enemies after hitching a ride in a friendly Galaxy)

[BlackHawk]

October 21st, the day after I hooked up my DSL ;) First day I got it, I revelled in being able to load up websites ultra fast, watching newgrounds flashes without needing 15 minutes of load time, and being able to download 10 meg files in less than an hour. Right before I went to bed, I started downloading the 7-day trial from Fileplanet, and after I got home from work, I was in PS heaven :)

Whew, good thing you pointed that the subscription page showed your original purchase date, IHP, cause it also shows when your account ends too. I need to go buy a new game card soon! :D

[Seer]

JetRaiden, did you write for a magazine, run a website, or attend e3? Because there are only a handful of people who played in February.

[HawkEye]

i started playing about halfway through open beta. then i got retail version a week after it was released and im still playing

[Dharkbayne]

Some time in April last year I believe

[SquirrelMan]

May 22. My birthday!

[Liteshow]

First time I played was sometime during Beta around March at a friend's house. He told me there was this cool game coming out that is a FPS with vehicles and such. I made a character and flew a Reaver for the first time that day, and even took out a Lightning with it...I wouldn't know for sure, but I think it was on the bridge from Mekela to either Kyoi or Xelas...I didn't pick it up until July or August, but I've been playing ever since...
