My Indulgence

I was triger-happy last month and also it was my laziest month. I had almost two weeks of days off (thank you God for CNY)and it drags until today. Lucky I was out from the office, otherwise I would be sticking to the cubicle like a sloth hanging to a tree. Yes...I was about that lazy.

It's a wet morning in Sandakan, Sabah. Started out with a drizzle then it went cats and dogs sans the light and sound effects.

Back to my title of the day, I finally managed to get my greedy hands on PS3. I usually didn't buy any console until it's about 6 years after its launching event. I buy my psone just months before PS2 was launched, same goes for my PS2..I bought it when I was in Dubai (of all the places in KL to get such console, I buy it somewhere else. Hey it was cheap) then after that...PS3 were launched. Boy at that time it cost about RM3000 for a 60GB unit and I was like a fish looking inside instead of outside. Yeah, and I promise myself, that time it will take me another 6 years to get the unit but hell. I progress and get it within 3 years eheheheh.

It is an amazing unit, and heavy machine. The one I bought comes with two free games...Soul Calibre IV and a toss between Assassin Creed or Ninja Gaiden..Assassin Creed won (hm...i wonder why.....). Its a totally different machine from the previous PS, this one uses wireless controller, nifty software, you can go online via LAN or Wireless plus it has 80GB of memory. How many games can you save? Oh..it plays Blue-Ray disc...yikes! And...if you own a PSP, it can be synchronised. Awesome. Does that mean I need a PSP afterwards? GASP!

On the not so good side, the software aka games cost an arm to buy one, unless you go for the bargain price...meaning old games la. It's not PS2 game compatible, previous version has compatability but not this one, you get only a single controller with the standard package and the next one also need you to cut another arm (how the hell am I going to play the game without any arm?). Was thinking of using the PS2 joypad but hell..it doest have any, cept for the port to transfer memory to the memory card for the later version of PS.

And I have yet to explore the full potential of my unit, give me a wee bit of time and I'll get back with a verdict. Can't wait to pair this with my Plasma TV soon...yummy.

i own a PS3 too, and whatever u said is true to the bone..

my own perception of PS3 is that they don't care about the gamers.. all they care is about the product, i mean common for something that expensive and they only give one joystick per set "wtf!" i mean, two is the least they can do. talking about compatibility, i guess the blu-ray lanun one will have to wait for a very loooooong time and i wonder why does it have to be very heavy... so silly one!!

oh yeah, just for advice to the ps3 owner-wanna-be, it's better to go for Xbox360, more value to your money and more lanun-games :) the difference between ps3 and xbox360 is still minimal... hehehe.. thats what i think laaaaa~

I know but most games I wanted to play are on PS3 platform...Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4... I won't denied Xbox 360 got lanun-able games (damn it) but for once nak jugak try game ori eheheheheh. Kena la budjet sebulan satu game....Plus nak tunggu Street Fighter IV kuar nih yehawwwwwwwwwwwwww
