Ho-ho-ho!
It's a Tuesday-holiday and here I am stuck in UM with a psychotic portable DVD player that refuses to properly let me watch Sarai-ya Goyou and proceed with the daydreams involving a cunning kidnapper and a timid ronin... which is definitely the least that can be done to alleviate boredom. Exercise? What exercise?Anyway, all good holidays need plans! I've wasted enough time the last 3 days doing absolutely jackshit because the HDMI cable was taken away from the PS3 (yes, you read that right :D silence may be golden, but persistence is platinum!). Mak and Abah have found joy in BitTorrent, which means less gaming time for me because the new TV isn't going to be in until this Sunday. Woe. But at least I've got my notebook back *huggles notebook* Back to the PS3, because that's what I'm really excited about, actually. Got it last Wednesday night at Digital Mall, and Mak pretty much bullied the guy to sell two games to us (FFXIII- Shaddup, I'm a sucker for SE; and Ratchet&Clank:ACINT- because I practically grew up with it) at a whopping 65% discount. Yaaaay~! Well, I kinda pity the guy who had the bad luck to have us as customers, but only a little because the money saved will definitely be used to purchase some other game. Had the good luck to run into Aaron as well, and he has Assasin's Creed 3 and Arkham Asylum, two games I've always wanted to try out. It's good to pool resources with the PS3 on account of the games being very expensive. I'm gonna have to cut back on manga and lots of stuff so I can save enough to buy the games that I want. I haven't been tinkering much with the PS3 features (reason stated above) but so far it looks great. Adequate Internet speed (didn't read the user's manual so don't know about full specs unfortunately... will definitely take a look at that later!) , automatic system updates, XMB interface, photos, music, videos etc. Basically, the interface is very much like the one for PSP, so it was all very familiar and easy for me to use. One complaint though is that the PS3 can't seem to recognize an external hard drive my dad jacked into it. Hmm. Definitely need to learn more about this console. The hardware itself is AP from S'pore (hush hush business, but who cares. the Sony guy himself practically recommended the AP to me) so the warranty and PSN ID are S'porean which makes my PS3 a S'porean. Kinda gives me mixed feelings about this seeing as how Aliaa and Som dubbed me as Lee Wat Yew the S'porean. Initially, we were thinking of getting the modified version, but I didn't like the idea very much because the hacking program itself seemed unstable, and we couldn't use the Internet if we modified it for fear of automatic system updates. It all seemed a bit like raping the PS3, in fact. So I'm definitely glad that we got the non-modified version, even though it is version 3.40. The indomitable ice queen may have accepted the conqueror's hand, but it is he who yields and bows to her. Games that I'm absolutely looking forward to play (and now actually have a chance to play!):  The Last Guardian Silent Hill 8 (production title) Final Fantasy XIII Versus Arkham Asylum 2And I'm out!
