Trigger: pulled

Thursday, July 19, 2007 » gaming update

EHEHE guess what I just bought I've had for a little over a week now. (Hint.) Following the price drop last weekend, the free blu-ray (Is that capitalized?) offer, and the news that the next batches of consoles will have spotty PS1/2 software emulation, I decided it was the time to buy.

Also, within 48 hours of arriving home with the giant black box, R.J. and MC (we all go by initials) both picked one up for themselves. This prompted daily reactions from me along the lines of, "Dude, I can't believe you bought a PS3." But then I'd remember, I have one too. I've barely taken the console seriously since the legendary Sony press conference last year, yet here it is, sitting in my living room.

So far I'm enjoying it. Been playing a lot of Ridge Racer 7, a bunch of demos, and today I downloaded Super Stardust HD, which is excellent. Unfortunately, the three of us each got a different game with the system, so there hasn't been any real online play to speak of yet. Might order Motorstorm online soon because I can't get over the $59.99 MSRP. In the meantime, if you want to play some RR7 or compare Stardust scores, feel free to add me.
