Did I mention that I finally got a PS3? They were still pretty non existent here in Elko. But I was at Wal-Mart’s checking out some other stuff a couple weeks back (don’t ask me why…I don’t even like Wal-Mart) and went by to check (once again) to see if any had come in. Didn’t see any…hey wait!
There by itself, in the bottom of the games case, in the back, was a single 60gb PS3. I wasted no time in tracking down the nearest Wal-Mart employee and pouncing on said unit. I felt almost guilty walking out of the store with it after having not camped out overnight or having to stand in line for 12 hours. I guess patience sometimes has it’s rewards.
I had to justify the purchase to my wife by explaining that since the company I work for makes games for the PS3, that I of course must own one myself. Besides, since I work in the games industry, I have to have all the different games systems to see what the other companies are doing.
She didn’t seem to accept this as a plausible explanation. I made a peace offering by saying that she could buy something of equal value. She got new faucets for the kitchen and master bathroom, and a new ceiling fan for the bedroom…you know, useful stuff. What’s up with that?!
Where was I? Oh yeah, so the PS3 is very cool. It recognized my wireless network so I can log on and shop for stuff and use the web browser and download demos and such. Resistance: Fall of Man looks great on a big HD screen (I’m pretty biased here of course after working on it.)
And Sony recently announced Home, which is still in Beta, but looks like it could have a lot of potential. Coolness!

Good job in convincing the wife there
Sounds like you were very lucky in finding your purchase – congrats!
