I had seen on here and other sites awhile back a debate on the pricing stuff with all the consoles. Everytime I see something like that, everyone is always hammering Microsoft for their prices. Up until now Sony couldn't or refused to price their hardware in a resonable manner. Nintendo was at a great price point but feature wise they dont have much. I mean without some sort of homebrew the Nintendo Wii cant even play movies. The guys that designed the xbox though are a bunch of geniuses. They built the entire platform off of xbox live and halo.

Well after getting the platinum trophy in Batman AA I decided to dig into the pile of games under my TV. I grabbed a copy of Dead Space and I am currently working on that. I have beat the game already now I am just going back through and clearing some trophies. This game is really good , very atmospheric, and very poorly produced. When I say poorly produced I mean in the story. About the 5th time someone goes oh no i need you to go here and do this it makes you say what the hell were the guys that wrote this thinking? Could they not come up with a better way to give you missions etc.

 Well Sony kept their word and brought out Firmware 3.0 around midnight last night. A ton of people are complaining about it. The font is to big , I cant connect to the PSN, the friends list looks bad etc etc etc. As a note I didn't problems connecting to the psn after I patched and the font to me looks fine. I am using a 50 inch samsung lcd though I dunno if its borked on smaller tvs or what. The animated theme support is a really nice feature. Is it a huge feature? No... They also mentioned something about premium avatars. No idea what these look like or if their animated.

 Well sony announced the God of War Collection today. We will get both God of War 1 and 2 and a single blu ray with 720p, 60fps, and trophy support for both games. I started to thinking would it be better to have full backwards compatibility or do games like this "remastered". I have a backwards compatible 80  gig (the one that uses the software  tricks). I honestly dont care to throw any PS2 games in there now. I did play through both god of wars soon after I got it but thats been it.

Well I got my new Playstation today. I think the biggest difference to me is it just feels more like a solid piece of hardware compared to the older model. Another thing that takes me back is they left the power supply inside the unit. What that tells me is down the road we will probably see an even smaller PS3. Now im waiting for the right moment to purchase a new tv for the bedroom. Im hearing there is some really good deals in the new best buy ad for August 30th so ill have to wait and see. I keep pushing on in Batman im about 72 percent complete on normal mode.
