Can I has next gen gamign system?
Here's the main reson why we got a LCD TV - Our shiny, new PS3 (got it for 480 Euros, which means a discount of 20 percent ^_^)!
BTW, we named him Ganryu.
The box. Mmh, pretteh.
By special request from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yamasagi. this is the view into the box after opening it.
The console (still wrapped) and all the extra stuff.
The thing itself from the front...
... and from the top. It's so beautiful and shiny, but that also means it reflects like crazeh XD
The new sixaxis controller with the PS home button in the middle which can actually turn on the system. It's lovely how they're wireless now!
So far, we only bought Motor Storm since PS3 games are ruddy expensive and there's not too many out here yet. However, Motor Storm is pure eye candy, and, according toyamasagi (I merely tend to watch and enjoy the 1080 pixels resolution) fun as heck to play. Or at least it GETS pure fun once you're past the first few stages. The courses get a lot crazier as you go along, believe me! The intro monologue is one of the most headdesk-worthy, cheesy pieces of flat-out badassery I've ever seen (and heard). Needless to say, I adore it :X
The sixaxis controller creeps me out since I'm not made for controls like that. Also, I miss the rumble feature. A lot.
Apart from Motor Storm (Wow, that was the first Blu-ray duisc I ever touched *geeky squee*), we also got Tekken 5 (looks gorgeous!!) and Super Rub A Dub (cute, I wanna sharkie like that!!) via download, plus a ton of demos and videos.
I keep reading comments from people saying all the extra features they put in the console are useless.
Excuse me?! What's useless about true multitasking where the system can download stuff in the background and will tell you about completed files and incoming chat messages even while you're playing?
Also, I really don't mind the console's ability to connect to any computer in the same network and play the contents in that computer's Media Player library. I think that's pretty damn cool especially since the PS3 is powerful enough to play true HD videos, which is most definately too much for most standard PCs, including my Max.
So, all in all, this black, gleaming baby is certainly made of awesome. I'm sure we'll have lots and lots of fun with it, much like we had with the PS2 *fondly remembers the nights of playing Primal, withyamasagi doing the thing and jessybxx helping him figure out the secrets*
I also found out - by mere coincidence, as always - that the Atari Lynx was first called "Handy". The German-speaking people are prolly giggling now, since "Handy" happens to be the common term we use for cellphones. Well, I think it's a good thing they changed the Lynx's name, imagine the confusion we'd have today... or not, since the Lynx rightfully bombed *lol* [/gaming history mode]
The mouse onyamasagis third computer broke. So I had to change the startup setting on utorrent using only the keyboard. And I'M once again glad that most of the computers back in high school didn't have a ouse at all because it taught me to do everything without one just as well (and almnost as quickly, too) :D
