100% sell out

So I bought a console. As expected the cost involved was a little high but the store I went to was offering 18 months no interest and my interest in PC games has waned a little bit in the past few months for some reason.

$400 for the 80gig PS3 unit
$100 for two games (Madden and Lego Indiana Jones)
$50 for a protection plan for two years
$50 for an HDMI cable
$50 Taxes and so forth

$600+ later I now own something I didn't think I'd ever own: a high priced Blu-ray player with the ability to play games.

There's a few pluses already though
1. It supports HDMI cabling and the system thinks my Samsung DLP is 1080i.

2. The wireless networking plugs right into my home network so no problems

3. Setup pretty easily despite having to use the controller for typing in information.

Madden looks great and plays a hell of lot better than the last time I tried playing back in 2005 or so. The play by play commentators are annoying as hell though. One bread and butter play is Marion Barber right up the gut. That usually can get you four yards or so. I apparently though couldn't block a dead corpse in the open field. These thumb controllers are a bitch to handle.

I'm such a sell out now.
