Weekend Update: The PS3 Edition

As promised, this weekend I went out with the sole purpose of coming back with a PS3 to add to my gaming collection (see side column), and I have come back with a bounty that does not disappoint, so I figured I’d share this triumphant moment with all of you. Regretfully my new camera isn’t here to snap a photo or two yet, as it’s a pretty impressive pile-o-gaming if I do say so myself.

So what did I end up getting this past Saturday? Well, first I stopped by my local Fry’s Electronics to do the bulk of the shopping and walked away with:

All in all I got a new system, the essential accessories to fully enjoy it, and some awesome games to play on it for a grand total of:

Grand Total = $1194.35

Not too shabby if I say so myself. That night I set up my personal PSN account and bought a few games off PSN Store (i.e. Lemmings, Pain, Everyday Shooter) and saw a few more I wouldn’t mind having.

I spent most of last night just trying out each of the games, I’ve played them all at one point or another whether at E3 or around the studio, but now I can finally delve into them here at home fully and complete them as they should be.

I’m gonna be jumping on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and ranking up online most importantly. So if you’re playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on PS3 or own any of the above mentioned multiplayer games, or just want to be my PS3 friend drop me a Friend Request on my new PSN account:

PSN Account: fourzerotwoIW

(Update: Thanks to Matthew Granda for the awesome PSN gamercard!)

Fourzerotwo was taken by imposters, so if you play with anyone on the PSN claiming to be me and isn’t the above tag then tell them to go to hell. That only applies to PSN, I’m still the same on Xbox Live of course.

I’m happy to have PS3 to the collection as it will fully allow me to keep tabs on the PS3 version of the game and community whether I’m at the office or at home, helping me to improve another of my New Years Resolutions of ‘becoming more accessible’!! Woot!
