Some of you remember me as being a very bitter Sony anti politician. I was bitter about the cost, bitter about the releases, over all just bitter.
I played Halo 3 and GOW and other 360 titles pretty religiously. I sold my 60gb launch PS3 to my brother in law and never looked back. But then the 40gb came out, HDDVD took a dive and I managed to play some PS3 titles. Over all, I decided to take the plunge. Not just the PS3 plunge, but the HDTV + PS3 + Blu-rays + games plunge: My games- Resistance, Warhawk, Motorstorm. Heavenly Sword on the way. I'll get Lair after the update and I plan on getting Ratchet & Clank and Folklore soon.
You can't just throw a PS3 at a cheap HDTV from Kmart or something.
Not to bash on people with Vizio's or anything, but I just like to spend to get the extra security of a well established brand like Toshiba.
There she sits, so pretty on my desk. And I didn't desecrate her by putting her where the 360 used to be. If you saw my old set up, my 360 sat on the shelf below there. Plenty of air room for her to breathe. Getting a floor fan set up for more cooling.
This picture does NOT do the image quality justice, but it's the best my cheap crappy camera could do. My receiver supports 2PCM lossless 48khz and emulates the 5.1, but Blurays with DTS HD are much better because it draws the DTS base track and does true 5.1 with it.
Stupid camera to blame, movies: Sunshine, Spiderman 3, Casino Royale, 3:10 to Yuma on Bluray. On DVD: Jaws (Collector's with DTS), Superbad, Boondock Saints, Rocky Collection and 40 Year old Virgin.
My temp set up until I move back to go to college. Toshiba 32AV500U ($679), Yamaha HTR5920 (Speakers mounted on the wall, $160 with 2 year extra warranty), crappy TV stand until I get a better one. PS3 40gb, I used the Kmart 10% off coupon and with the money I saved, bought the 3 year service plan so I have a 4 year warranty on it.
Over all, I'm very happy with Bluray, very happy with Warhawk's online and Resistance's single player campaign, and I'm really surprised with how much I enjoy Motorstorm. And I'm glad to be with a company that doesn't nickel and dime me at every corner. I didn't have to pay $180 for Bluray. I didn't have to pay $50 for a yearly subscription to PSN. I didn't have to buy a charge kit for my controller. I get plenty of HD space and I can upgrade my hard drive without being disowned by my warranty policy. I have wifi out of the box.
To PS3 supporters I argued with before: Sorry I didn't know any better. It was rather foolish of me to stand off against people defending their system.
