ITT: king3vbo Spends Money He Doesn't Have
king3vbo | 1:22 PM on 01.09.2008 34 comments




...ok that pic is a little fucked up, but whatever

Anyways, I broke down and bought a 60GB PS3 the other day from a friend of mine in Virginia. It has no Hard Drive, but he sold it to me for 200 bucks plus 30 shipping... and the hard drive was 100 bucks for a 160GB HD, so now its got a large hard drive and IT PLAYS PS2 GAMES LOL WUT. Now I just have to wait for FedEx to ship it here

So I guess the reasons I wrote this blog are as such:

1) My PSN name will be king3vbo. If someone took it I will hunt them down and kill them. Look for their tattered remains on the news.

2) Bitch about FedEx. ITS SITTING IN A FEDEX BUILDING 10 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE, IF THEY DONT DELIVER IT TODAY HEADS WILL ROLL.

3) (The meat of the story) WHY DID I BUY A PS3?

I mean, I got a good deal on it, and its a 60GB model, the only one I would buy. But the only games that interest me on it are Uncharted and Warcawks. Other than that, I dont really want anything else... until MGS4, Final Fantasy 13, and Disgaea 3 come out it will probably just sit there... I wonder if there is any other reason to own one right now.

I guess Bru-ray is alright, but it wont be hooked up to an HDTV (IM POOR MKAY), so its not like im jumping at the bit to build a Bluray collection.

O well, I guess its just buying it now so that I can play those epic games someday when they come out. If anyone knows of other good games for PS3, let me know. In before Ratchet and Clank, I hate that series.

In conclusion, I guess Im happy to have one, but not a whole lot for right now. I think by next fall I will be 100 percent MOAR happy that I bought one.

Heres a reward for reading this whole damn thing:
The funniest piece of marketing I have ever seen

Just so you know, Tom O'Connor does not actually have a Ph.D. He is also not actually a person. And the entire premise of this book is fictional. But on the bright side, a Windows Home Server is a real product. Perhaps you'd like to buy one!

lol

UT3, Eye Of Judgement, and Folklore come to mind. If you don't have COD4 for PC or 360..that's a winner too.

Now where's mah FREE Whopper?

Congrats on your super deal. And how could kids be so cruel as to mock that poor girl for having a home server?

You should look at Folklore once you get your PS3, it's a surprisingly good single player game.

Also, Sigma is an excellent remake if you liked Ninja Gaiden on Xbox.

I would PROBABLY get a PS3 for $200 just for the backward compatibility with a wireless controller. Any more than $200 and I'm waiting for more games.

That book is unrealistic, in reality it would go like this:

Daddy: "I love you honey, so I bought you a spececial present."
Mommy: "I wonder what touching thoughtful gift you bought me."
Daddy: "Surprise, it's a server!"
Mommy: "...I want a divorce."

I'm going to register king3vbo as soon as I get home. Mwahaha.

I keed, I keed.

Now you can get one of these lame PS3 gamercards that need to be manually updated. Minna No Golf 5 will be my most recently played game forever!

If it makes you feel any better, I haven't suffered buyer's remorse. Then again, I didn't already own a 360.

If you don't buy Uncharted you will mysteriously die. It's single player only, but it's a must have PS3 title.

Multiplayer: UT3, Warhawk, and soon Haze.

That is the most awesome children's book I have ever read. I am going to try to get my hands on a copy and see if I can get away with donating it to a library.

Folklore, I hear, is nice - not certain it's exclusive, though. Haze should be passable, Uncharted is great (even if Nathan tends to chuckle too much for my taste).

I'm commneting because I, too, own a PS3.

Nothing really to add, everybody already talked about the good stuff.

But seriously get Uncharted and CoD4 (whether or not you have already).

If I got a PS3 I would definitely get Uncharted...and probably Warhawk. Those are the only two that stand out to me.

I bought one a while back when they announced they were ceasing production on the BC model, and dropped the price to $500. I never had a ps2, so I knew if I ever did get a ps3 I'd need it to do BC. so I got it.

I mainly watch movies on it. it's good for that I guess. But as soon as I realized there was no in-game xmb I quickly went back to 360.

uncharted is pretty cool though, definitely get that. However, I would argue AGAINST getting UT3. Either get it on pc, or wait til 360 ver which will have a WAY bigger playing community.

I need to find a PS3 I guess, since the 60GB ones are getting scarce.

I'm a bit biased, but R&C tfD is a must....I love that R&C series....debated on getting a psp to play those on it....Maybe give Heavenly Sword a go too. I hear it is a ton of fun. Short, but fun. Worthy sounding....Never played it so all I can go off of is other PS3 owners words.
