PSP Meet PS3
Many thanks to DarkMirage/ThePaper for his post on the PSP and the fun of hacking. Spent the past day or so finally installing some homebrews like emulators for the SNES and Genesis plus playing PSX and PSP (ISO) games. Now I can finally use my PSP for gaming instead of an expensive paper weight. May have to get a bigger memory stick as I don’t think 1GIG will be enough if I plan to have game ISOs on it. And speaking of ISOs, Bleach Heat the Soul 3 is pretty rockin’. Sadly, it’s 100x easier than old school Altered Beast for the Sega Genesis which goes to show just how annoying Altered Beast was and still is after all these years 
Moving on, yes I got the 60GIGs PS3 this past Friday. Honestly, just like the Wii I picked up another next gen console randomly and for no good reason. At least this time, it didn’t involve waiting 5+ hours outside in the cold. I literally walked into Gamespot and picked one up like nothing. Only reason I even knew they had any was my coworker Chris’ younger brother called him mentioning he noticed they had them (he used to work there); after work we headed straight there and simply asked. Money was exchanged and two PS3s found new owners. Simple as that.
I should probably mention, ironically enough, when I went to BestBuy today (writing this on Dec 31st) to use a few gift cards I received for X-Mas I saw a stack of a dozen or so 60GIGs PS3 laying around. So now that got me wondering why people are complaining about there not being enough? The past few days alone I must have now seen a good 20 or so on sale at cost. I guess folks just don’t want to pony up the 600USD for the unit huh?
On the PS3 and its various features, I must say it’s pretty pimp. Probably spent a good hour downloading all available demos for the US. Personally I’ve enjoyed playing Genji and Motorstorm the most. Genji reminds me a lot of Dynasty Warriors where you basically hack through everything plus the Kamui ability (like a variation of bullet time) is interesting. Motorstorm is just great at how detail the crashes you’ll eventually get into are; if the game is going to be multi-player I’ll definitely be picking it up on its March 2007 release. Resistance -Fall of Man- is pretty kick arse for FPS though I’m kind of bad at it since I’m used to a keyboard and mouse (years of crappily playing CS). I did end up buying the actual game though, since it is pretty good plus is multi-player so once I get some more controllers it should be a ball to play with the guys. GT was pretty fun and my brother already unlocked all 10 cars; now I’m just trying to figure out how to successfully drift in the drift trials ^^;;
For all the talk and fun I’m currently having with the PS3, I have a feeling just like the Wii, once my normal work schedule starts up again I won’t really have time to play. It’ll just be another expensive decoration in my room that I’ll use once in awhile. I know I’m at least buying FFXIII and FFXIII Versus when they comes out as the trailers alone have me interested. As my brother said, the guy in Versus is Archer (F/SN)! Also I’ll have to start looking into (anime) Blu-Ray as more of them come out. Good to know Japan and the US are in the same region so I can actually play Japanese discs without hacking my player. Air looks good but I already have the DVDs and I’m not that much of a nut to re-buy the series just because it’s on Blu-Ray. Plus I don’t have the money for it anyways.
… not like I really had the money to buy the PS3 either, but… :aorz:
you bastard XD
Two days till the new year and this is how you plan to conserve on your money spending? ^^;
You keep saying you are broke, yet you pull something like this? HOW?
Well, if you spend all your money now (go minus even) then you wont be able to spend next year
good way to keep your new years resolution. I’m trying to keep down on the money i spend on figurines myself, but looking at my pre-orders makes my new years resolution look hopeless to keep, almost $1000 of figurines pre-orderd/need to be payed for T_T.
Oh well, remember to keep us updated on the games you buy for the ps3, im gonna wait another month or two, since im crap at Japanese the games that interest me are quite limited. Ill have to make due with playing FFIX on my psp ^^
well goodbye for now, ove your blog, you always give me inspiration when it comes to buying figurines =) (also a good supply for 1920×1200 backgrounds
Your continual high dollar purcaheses never cease to amaze. I take it that some sort of Christmas or end of year bonus came around or you won the lottery or something. I hope you got Resistance: Fall of Man with that beast and you will be more than able ot work out the alleged imperfections. Whaterver you secret is I hope you tell the rest of the otaku proletariat before you pass into Haruhi-sama heaven.
Another Feat for Moyism’s Deeds of Demi-Godhood. All the while, I a mere mortal is planning to sell a few items at the next convention flea market.
I hate you so much that you have that beast of a system,but outside of that fact i must say that I am surprised that you got you hands on one.I myself I’m going to wait another 3-4 months till all the reviews get out and it has some games behind it.Well looks like its almost New Years and that means another year has come and gone.I look forward to what you will bring out in this next year i.e. new back rounds for my comp. ( i cant belive you found so many XO you rule)
Zanza: what did I do wrong?
Mark: If you have been reading my blog, you should know my so-call promises and ideals are very lacking in RL.
Tong: The magic of credit cards my friend.
Arcueid: Not spending ALL my money. I’m not that crazy. And if it makes you feel better I already have like 1400USD spent in pre-orders of various anime merchandise for 2007. Don’t worry, I’ll try to keep everyone updated on any games or crap I buy for the PS3
BTW, using me as an inspiration to buy figurines probably isn’t a good idea ya know?
Crusader: Nah, just going to end up not putting any money into savings for a month or so. Not that big of a deal but still hurts at the end. And I think it’s a great idea to sell un-used or old goods; easy way to get some money back. I should really do that myself with some of the extra anime goods I have laying around ^^;;
Rider: Finding was apparently easy, for the PS3 that is. For computer backgrounds half of them I’ve been posting have been crops of huge scans or slightly upscaling 1600×1200 ones.
I also noticed a bunch of PS3s lying on shelves, still they aren’t selling like hot cakes…
Here’s the thing about the PS3 more than fouled up release Sony made huge promises of simultaneous world wide release and quite alot to be for sale before the holiday season hit, but in the end Europe got treated like the Third World of Gaming. The US recieved an estimated 200,000 far less than what they were boasting at E3. While now there is supply such was not the case before the holiday shopping season ended. Besides after Chrismas most of us without the Moyly powers of making money are broke or damned close.
hahaha, nothing mate, just jealous is all XD
happy new year bud, ball drops in less than 3 hrs over here. hope 2007 is a good yr for ya, cheers
Moyism: well didnt really mean as an inspiration, but every time i visit this blog i see something i wanna buy >__>) now all i need is some good rpg games
gonna stick with FFXII till they start coming though (remember FFXII isn’t avalible in europe yet 
)
Jaa ne ^^
Happy New Year! Hope 2007 will be good year for all of us.
