    Finally broke down and bought the PS3!

    So I was playing my PS2 last week, which I've had since the damn thing came out, when all of a sudden, whats that smell? I look, and there is white smoke pouring out of the damn thing. As soon as my hand hurriedly went for the power cord, POP! Something inside of it, well, popped, with a big bright flash and one last puff of smoke. I guess I'm lucky it lasted as long as it did.

    Actually I think you guys jinxed me, as in another thread, people were talking about how many busted PS2's they went through, and I laughingly stated that mine had worked perfectly since the day it was released.

    Godsmack. Ain't karma a bitch....

    So I broke down and bought the PS3. Actually I went to WalMart at 5AM on Black Friday to get it. (If you knew me you would know that it takes an act of God to get me into WalMart, let alone on Black Friday.) I paid $299.00, it came with the 120 Gig slim PS3, iNFAMOUS, Batman: Arkham Asylum, The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray Disc, and one controller. Good deal, no? I also picked up Grand Theft Auto 4 for $10.00, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for $25.00. Now I just need to get Modern Warfare 2.

    Damn. I feel like I've been living in the dark ages rockin' the PS2 for so long!

    As you know from this thread http://www.snuson.com/viewtopic.php?t=7336&highlight= I just bought a 52" Sony LCD with CineMotion and MotionFlow technology, and 1000 watt 7.1 channel surround sound, and gaming with this setup is absolutely intense! Way more than I expected. I had played MW before, so I knew how good the graphics were, but the one that blew me away is the Batman: Arkham Asylum game. Its freakin' unbelievable. At some points you can actually see the pores in Batman's face. Nucking Futs!

    The game storylines are pretty amazing too. Most of you have probably beat the campaign in MW by now. I jus did last night, and that last scene of the game where you're lying on your back after the explosion, watching in slow motion as the "bad guys" are methodically executing everyone in your squad with a single shot to the head, and the Captain slides you the gun to take them out as your last act in the game, just absolutely blew me away. Unbelievable. I almost couldn't sleep, it was so damn disturbing. Especially on that big ass screen, you feel like you're IN the game.

    Anyways, just thought I'd brag a lil' bit, as I'm freakin' stoked!


    BTW: Vegan, I hit you up on there like you said to, though it looks like you haven't been on in awhile.....

    Yea, I stay on Xbox Live most of the time, I'll friend you when I get home today. The ending of CoD was impressive. You did play the final scene in the airplane afterwords right? Congrats on the PS3, but I still say Xbox is better this gen. Pick up Drake's Fortune, it's a pretty good PS3 exclusive.

                I only play video games once every couple months when I go to my best friend's place and we get bored - he used to work for xbox so he's all into it, I'm trying to sell my xbox1 with a few games for $50, I'd be happy with super mario bros 3 and tetris... But this post makes me jealous. I want what you have. If my girlfriend thinks we don't talk enough as it is, she has no idea what thing COULD be like if I had your set up.

                  Start your own stupid XBOX threads, Quit stealing my thunder you bastards. :evil:













                  :lol: :wink: :lol: :wink: :P







                  Remember, all I had before was a PS2, and a 27" dinosaur tv, so this setup is ****in badass' to me! At least my TV's better than yours, and my sound system louder.....

                  Actually Im just kidding, maybe you have a bigger, louder system, I dont even know you! :lol: :lol: :lol:

                  Anyone see Dane Cooks pictures on Twitter? Hes got a picture of himself playing MW2 on like a theatre-size projection screen that would be measured in feet, not inches....must be nice....

                    As far as next generation consoles, i only have a 360 right now, only becuase most games that interest me are on both or exclusive to the Xbox. The only game i really want for the PS3 as of now is Little Big Planet, that game looks awesome.

                      Owens bro I can't hear you over the sound of all the xbox 360 I've got going on right now.


                      I had a PS3 when they first came out so wans't many games out for it, therefore didn't play it much. Ended up getting jacked along with a 360 and a 60" plasma + surround sound system. Then my wife sold hers because she had only bought it for the blue rayplayer but felt she didn't need it anymore (FAIL).

                      I really do wish the xbox would play blue rays though, that's it's main wekness.

                          I own both and and Wii, but the 360 gets more use. Last gen, my PS2 was always on, second was the Gamecube, but this time I gotta give props to the Xbox. I'll sign in on PSN to friend you now.
