Day 126 of 365 days.
Merry Christmas to me!
To paraphrase the great poet and philosopher Eric Cartman, "I have a PS3. Who wants to touch me?"
I went to Electronics Boutique to buy a birthday present for a friend of mine today. While there, I happened to get into a conversation with the salesman about the Playstation 3 and was informed that despite the general belief that they’re sold out all across the country, they had gotten a shipment today. A shipment of two. He had sold one five minutes before I walked in the store and the other was sitting in the back still. Realizing that it could be months before I had another chance to pick up one, I decided I had to buy it as an early Christmas present to myself.
A lot of people consider the PS3 to be way too expensive for a video game system. Honestly, it probably is. But as mentioned before, I sort of have this addiction to movies. So what I really wanted was a Blu-Ray player. I would have bought one, one way or the other, no matter what. It turns out that the Playstation 3 is the cheapest Blu-Ray Player on the market by about $200. So to me, I feel like I’m saving money.
Yeah, I’m nuts. But I have a PS3!
I’m gonna pass on touching you. But, I do admire you rationalization for buying one as a cheap blu-ray player.
Very awesome. I’m pretty sure they are losing money on those babies…there’s a LOT in there fore the price.
I’ll have to be happy with my xbox 360 for now. But I do have some HD-DVD envy, for sure.
Oh, the coveted PS3. Have fun! I’m a Wii girl. It is so much fun…
Ooooh, lucky you! My husband and I just bought an xbox as a mutual present and 4 games. We are so out of the loop and don’t have a lot of cash, so we got a refurbished regular xbox for a good price. 😀
Lucky, lucky, LUCKY! I envy you right now.
I want to know….now what do you do with your PS2 and all those games? Does this one play the PS2 games, too?
Thanx all… I know you’re very jealous.
@sarah: I actually don’t play that many video games. And the ones I do play are either just Sony or on all systesms, so the Xbox is no good for me.
@shan: yeah, it plays PS2 games too. And PS1 games for that matter.
Ooooh………..
I’m not really jealous, ’cause I have missed out on most of the last 12 years or so of video games. We still have a working Sega Genesis console — cartridges only; not a CD-rom one — and a bunch of game cartridges.
Great shot displaying "covet; MINE"!!!!!!
Xbox360 for the win.
well, i played them when i was a young girl (7-12) but really stopped playing them for a while after that. occassionally i’ll hit up a Ms Pac-Man or something like that, we’ve got that little $10 joystick game that comes with Pole Position, Ms Pac Man, Galaga and one other that I don’t know. So…I think it’s great that you rationalized buying it….it makes sense to me…and i’m always very practical…just ask shannon!
so, merry christmas to mav…hope you enjoy it!!!
ha! your grip on that box is hilarious… your eyes say "please don’t make me take it back steph"
