slimequestI am now the proud father owner of a 60GB PS3.
Well... not really proud, since the only reason I got one right now is because they're dropping backwards compatibility from future revisions of the console, and I want the best BC I can get. I mean, no sense in keeping a PS1, PS2, and a PS3 all on my precious shelf space if I don't need to, right?
It's supposed to be some kind of Christmas present or something, but nobody wanted to shell out the money for it right at the moment, so I had to plunk down the cash myself.
And when it arrived, of COURSE I had to set it up just to make sure it worked with PS1 and PS2 games and everything else, before 60GB PS3s with the Emotion Engine chip cease to exist (or sells for $1000 on eBay...)
... and it's still set up here, and I'm using it to play upscaled PS2 games and watch videos and stuff. And likely here it shall remain, although I won't be getting any actual PS3 games until the holidays. Still, something seems weird about it all...
I don't know why, but I fear this thing.
It's big and black and scary. And expensive. And I'm really not supposed to have it yet so it feels like I'm breaking some cosmic law that will come back to haunt me.
But, it actually is a pretty swanky thing, what with wireless controllers (that have rechargeable batteries in them, all right!) and upscaling PS1 and PS2 games to look prettier, and being able to use those 60GB to store movie files on to watch on TV.
... I just don't like being alone in the living room with it late at night by myself =(
P.S. FFT ♥

Date: 2007-10-21 10:35 pm (UTC)They do look kind of intimidating. I don't have one, but if I did I'd be a little afraid to touch it at first.
What games are you looking forward to getting for it?

Date: 2007-10-21 10:39 pm (UTC)Besides the future games coming out like MGS4/FF13/etc, I'm wanting Disgaea 3, whenever it decides to come out xD
.. and Enchanted Arms, because it looks so absolutely retarded that I MUST play it. Just watch this, and you will know why it is a must-get!
plus it's only 20buxno subject

Date: 2007-10-21 11:13 pm (UTC)... but basically they want people to buy PS3s and play PS3 games, not just use it as some magical PS2 machine XD
It's entirely possible that they will go back to supporting PS2 games with firmware updates in the future to the new models without backwards compatibility, but who knows~
Thanks for the congrats, I think, my wallet isn't very happy right now though XD
The sleek sexiness that leaves us all feeling as of we've seen sin itself in those cold lights...
Date: 2007-10-22 07:02 am (UTC)...I'm sure you realize that the PS3 is technically alive too. ~.~'' How creepy is that?!
Um, anyway, I just added you to my flist after doing a search for people interested in Dragon Quest. So yes, I guess that makes me random, but I'm not like one of those people you see on the news... ^^;;;
See ya around!

Date: 2007-10-22 03:41 pm (UTC).. and, I made it through the night, so I guess that means the PS3 doesn't see me as a threat to it... yet?

Date: 2007-10-23 02:18 am (UTC)The PS3 is dropping lower and lower in price, it's just that they're removing features in order to do this. Ultimately when we're all knee-deep in PS3 games to play this may not matter much though xD
