DVD player died

so I bought a PS3.. lol

I went to best buy and looked at dvd players and was like.. Man, I want a blue ray player. pfft $300 for that I might as well get a PS3... bing

I went home and transfered money from savings to my checking account(its good that I do it that way so I don't blow more than I should) and brought my step dad along since he was bored on his day off. Got myself a PS3 and Mirrors Edge to start off.

Then at check out they asked for my reward zone card so I scanned it and got a $50 gift card.. sweet so I opted for the extended warranty with the reward zone card and went home to play.. Man is it awesome. I might go back for Gran Turismo 5 since I am a big fan of that game.

and now I can watch blue ray movies.

cnet.com consistently rates the PS3 as the one to beat for Blue Ray performance. They use it as their yardstick to compare any new player that hits the market. So you get the best player *and* a game system at the same time.

Nope, everything I have is on tape so if I change I'll have to buy it all over again.

I still have a tube TV too, why drop a G note on a big one when my old one still works?

Yeah, the graphics may be better, but the games are better on the 360.



Live is soooo much better than playstation online.
