The scary black gear, I mean console, will destroy god~!!1

[slimequest]

I 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 ♥

The high-pitched ringing sound the air vent makes makes me cry. D:

Post tomorrow so we know it didn't get you in the night :o

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?

Well congrats on getting it, Shawn, but you got me wondering why are they dropping the backward compatibility with previous generation games? o.o weird.

The sleek sexiness that leaves us all feeling as of we've seen sin itself in those cold lights...

Yes, the PS3 is one of those things that for every benefit, matches with the strange feeling of being a part of something too futuristic for its own good.

...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!
