This is all your fault!
So, as I'm sure most of you know. There's this little game coming out next week called Metal Gear Solid 4. And up until this point I have resisted the urge to buy it. Now, it's not because I don't like the Metal Gear Solid series. In face, it's quite the opposite, it's actually one of my favorite video game franchises of all time ever since I started the playing the first on the good ol' PS1.
The main reason why I have been trying to hold off on buying it is, is well because...you kind of need this thing called a Playstation 3 in order to play. And sadly for me, I do not own one of these.
But after reading
Maxios' recent blog. I got an idea. The idea is that I would sell my precious Wii. Now, I love my Wii, I really do. But you see, the problem is that it doesn't love me back in the same way. Hell, it doesn't love me at all. I bought the Wii on launch day, waited in line for the pre-order and everything, thinking that i was going to own a revolutionary console.
And I was right...sort of. It did revolutionize something, but not what I expected it would. What is it that it revolutionized you ask? Well...
This is what it revolutionized. In case you can't see it, that's
old people playing the Wii. What the Wii did was change the mainstream market for video games. I mean, honestly when you can get my 87 year old grandpa to play video games then you've obviously done something right.
Now, I'm all fine with the way Nintendo is marketing the Wii with the whole "cool" kids now and days. But you see, I'm not a cool kid, I'm what you would call a "hardcore" gamer hence why I am on this site typing up this blog. So, after much disappointment with recent titles on the Wii I have finally come to this conclusion to sell my Wii. The only real games I actually still kind of play is Super Smash Brothers Brawl... and well, shit, that's it. I never even finished Metroid Prime 3 or Super Mario Galaxy.
If I had a choice on the other hand, I would not sell my Wii. But, in order to get my precious PS3 I must. I am only a 17 year old kid living in a suburb where nobody is hiring. And trust me, when I say nobody I mean
nobody. And I get a cheap allowance so It'd take me an eternity to get the money for a PS3. So this is the choice I am making. I just hope this sacrafice will not be in vain. I know that MGS4 will be amazing to say the least. But, I'm just hoping that Sony doesn't continue sucking ass. They've definitely made a huge comeback over the past year but really need to step their game up in 2008, which I'm sure they will.
On that note, I hope to be getting the MGS4 PS3 80GB Bundle when it comes out the same day the game itself comes out. So expect me to be posting my PSN and what not for some good ol' FNF's. Anybody have some suggestions with some games that I should pick up with my PS3 (Though I probably can't pick any up the same day I get my PS3)? Also, does anybody know if I can pick up the PS3 if I go to a midnight launch of the game? Since I've read online and nobody seems to be offering pre-orders for the bundle.

Goodbye sweet prince...
I am in the same boat. I am also selling my Wii just to get a PS3 in time for some sneaking action. Oh I love me so MGS.
Here are a couple of PS3 games I recommend buying:
- Resistance: FOM
- Ratchet and Clank: TOD
- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
- Warhawk
I also recommend you go and rent Heavenly Sword.
SilverDragon1979: The guy is hurting financially as it is, don't recommend him to spend more money than he has to!
I look forward to Metal Gear Mondays, seems like a lot of people are selling their bodies for this game.
I still hold the record though, DS + PSP + 360. Need to get PSP back for remote play though. D:
you can resist buying this because its not out yet.
@Itchy: He asked for a recommended list of games and I provided him with one. The nice thing is most of these games can be found for $40 new, and probably $30 used. The other nice thing is most of these games can be beaten in a weekend so he could also just rent them all and save lots of money.
Well if you want to FNF with us PS3 peeps I would recommend Call of Duty 4 or GTA IV.
I heard Amazon.com were doing pre-orders for the MGS4 bundle right now, but I don't know if they're still available or not.
hev sword is fantastic. a bit short but very shweet. also high stakes poker and tekken are d-toid favorites. in fact yojimbo,ha-puken, shipero, counting conflict and myself just now were playing poker.(and man the fncking roll i was on, started with $10000, left with $50000, gotta say today was a good day)
where were ya manta89? or should i say santana claus89?
I see, thanks guys for the tips :)
I'll definitely be picking some of these games up once I'm done with MGS4
get good with someone and do a gameshare also. i've bought half of my psn games and gameshared the others. you can read my sidebar in my blog for the whole list.
I too will be getting the MGS4 PS3 bundle on (hopefully before if I can jew-talk some people) the 12th!

On your side-profile, you have "Banjo 2" listed as a game that makes your pants hard...
There were already two N64 games. Is that supposed to be Banjo 3/Nuts&Bolts?
Get GTA IV
@Arttemis
Hmmm...it seems like I need to make a trip to Wal-Mart this weekend. Lucky guy. And yeah, I meant Banjo 3, thanks for the heads-up.

goddam! if you guys are now selling your previous consoles to get a ps3 why didn't you get a ps3 first? now you're selling off your wii's and psp's, do not sell your psp! it has alot of functionality with the ps3. and get a job and a haircut you fncking hippies. lol
