It's been a while since I posted, and since I did say back in another cblog post that I would go and write more, I decided to go and put up a blog post here about the gaming revolution that's currently on my mind, which is the PS3.

First off though, a short update about my current work status (which is apparently, gaming related). After my two years for the gaming website I used to work for, I thought to try something else related to gaming but wasn't exactly a writing job. That said, I went into a call center... dealing with technical support for one of the big consoles out there. Boy, was that a big mistake.

I did well enough on my tests to secure a spot on the floor, but now, on my fourth month, I realize it wasn't for me. Too much stress, too many variables to handle, and not enough mental and physical fortitude on my end to cope with it, so much so that just a few days ago, I got hypertension from working at the place. I'm currently looking for another job, preferably in teaching or writing (and hopefully, with less uncertainty to consider), though I'm hoping a communications coach position opens up so I don't have to take calls anymore, lessening my stress considerably.

What does that have to do with wanting a PS3? Well, if you take enough calls regarding a console, you eventually wander off during the free time wondering about what it'd be like to have a new console (not necessarily the one you take calls for) under your belt.

That's my dilemma now. As I live in the Philippines, circumstances surrounding the consoles are a bit different. Modded Wiis and 360s abound, and I have an original Wii and a modded 360 (sorry... no one sells unmodded 360s here to my knowledge) for gaming purposes. The thing is, I constantly worry about the day when my Xbox 360 will die, so I thought to think of the long-term and try to sell off the 360 or earn enough money for a PS3, even if the games cost well... a lot, considering how much I pay for 360 games.

That said, I'd like to make an informed decision though, and who better to provide information than the people who own the thing. I know the PS3 is a quality console, with some great games, but I have to be very picky with what games I buy for the console, as well as which version I should look for.

NOTES:
1. Not very tech-savvy here, so I can't replace the hard drive... should I look for the 20 GB one if it still exists, or go for the (supposedly) more common 60 GB one?

2. I'm an RPG gamer at heart, so I'm excited for White Knight Chronicles. What other high-level RPG titles are out there for the PS3?

3. What games are awesome enough to play through more than once? MGS4 seems like a good buy, but replayability is a factor for me if I'm trading in the Xbox 360.

4. While google is my friend, sites you trust to give yourself information on the console of your choice seems to be a better friend than google. Can you recommend some sites that offer information on the PS3?

Anyway, I apologize if long post is long. I do hope you can help me out here, as I'd like to make a decision based on the information you've offered up. :) Many thanks!
