The best laid plans...

I finally took the plunge and got a console.  I've always been an "anti-console" bigot, mainly because I have a couple of hefty PC gaming setups.  My PC rocks for games, so why would I want to use smthng that only has joysticks?

Well, I needed a Blu-Ray player and all reports pretty much point to the PS3 being the best Blu-Ray player on the market.  The gaming console parts of it were just "gravy".  So, I snagged an 80GB PS3 and got Motorstorm: Pacific Rift thrown in for free. 

I'm hooked.

Motorstorm rocks.  The gameplay, the sound, the online racing, the tracks, the graphics, everything.  It's all butter.  A few folks I met online in Motorstorm recommended that I get Need For Speed Undercover.  It also rocks (but not quite as much as MSPR).  Tom Clancy Endwar was added to the collection because it came with the headset.  I haven't played it yet, but use the headset all the time in MSPR.  Need for Speed Carbon was dirt cheap... bought.  Burnout Paradise, also dirt cheap... bought.

I got the impression that she who must be obeyed was getting a little miffed about my PS3 time, so I got Little Big Planet thinking she might actually try it with me a couple of times.  It completely rocks!  The online connectivity suffers a bit some times, but they're working on it.  Other than that, it's amazing.  The wife even likes it.  She says she doesn't want to play, but as soon as I start, she jumps in and joins me. ;)

Oh, it really is an excellent Blu-Ray player as well. :P

Anyway, that's where a lot of my online time has been going recently.  If you care to waste some with me and have any of the above titles, feel free to hunt me down on PSN... I'm smthng (of course).
