What else are you in to? Do you like cars, motorcycles, airplanes? Have you ever built model airplanes or cars? What about trying out a new sport?
I hate to break it to you, but you can die from to much PS3. I'll give you an example....
Boy spends most of day inside, sitting on his backside and starring at his video games all day. He gets lost in them to the point that the majority of his day is gone. These games monopolize his life and he rarely gets out to do anything else. This goes on for a few months and this leads into a year, and a year leads to two, then three. His life is passing him by. Since he is not getting enough physical activity, he begins to develop plaque in his coronary arteries and the main arteries that supply blood and oxygen to his brain. He doesn't realize this, after all...you can't see it or feel it. His blood vessels are also becoming weakened due to lack of activity and a vitamin D deficiency from lack of sunlight, so his blood vessels begin to fail him and his blood begins to pool in his lower extremities. This puts a lot of pressure on his heart which causes his heart muscle to enlarge and not be able to pump efficiently. Again...what is the harm...you can't see it or feel it. Since his blood is pooling in his lower extremities, it starts to clot in the larger veins in his lower legs. He wonders why his feet are beginning to ache. One day, after spending way to many months/years playing video games, he realizes that he needs to mow his lawn, or his car breaks down and he has to walk to the gas station. He exerts himself to what would be considered a normal level of activity for his age group yet because he has clots in his legs, as his blood pressure rises due to the activity, a blood clot breaks free and travels up the veins in his leg and gets lodged in his lung. He gets sharp horrible chest pain and can't breath. His heart begins to beat faster, but due to the plaque and build up in his coronary arteries, the workload of the heart becomes too much and his heart muscle begins to die. He is now experience a heart attack. On top of this, his arteries going to his head are occluded so he is not getting enough blood/oxygen to his brain and he begins to black out. All of the sudden, a piece of plaque from his artery breaks free and travels into his brain. Congratulations...you've now had a stroke. You begin to fall but you are dead before you hit the ground. GAME OVER!!
I know this sounds pretty extreme, but it only takes ONE of these things to kill you and lack of physical activity is the prime suspect for all three of them.
Think this never happens? Four months ago I saw a 26 year old man die from heart disease. He weighed 300lbs, and he was playing his video games in the hospital until he died.
Still think it will never happen? That's what the guys who came out with ATARI said about the PS3.
Take care

Well I goto the gym every other day when school is in session, the only reason I'd play all day is if im vacation which i am now for only 1 week. Not sure if that enough activity, but its something. Ive heard of people like that and it is scary, but i dont think its possible for me to turn out like that because i eat very little food and I walk 6 miles to and from school each day.
I did football last year, but i ended up leaving it because no one on the team liked me. So now i just go paintballing whenever i can save enough money to go.
