So,
Today was pay day for me and I had been thinking about it for a while and I finally decided that I would use a chunk of that paycheck in order to purchase a PS3. My main reason: The blu ray player. My old blu ray player was crap and it was time for a new one. However, being the avid gamer that I am, it didn't make any sense for me to just purchase a $250 blu ray player. I figured spring the extra money and also get something that will allow me to do one of my favorite hobbies. Not only that, but I feel quite confident that unlike my other manufacturer, Sony will continue to make firmware updates for their blu ray players, especially the PS3, but now I will FINALLY be able to actually watch Avatar on blu ray!:D
But after doing some research, I came to the decision that their was only one PS3 game worth buying for me at this time: God of War 3. Given my love of the first two and the amazing reviews, it was the no brainer purchase to me. And I am more than looking forward to playing it. Hopefully, PS3 will continue to release more exclusives that will make the gaming side of the system worth it for me. But I have to be completely honest. When it comes down to it, I will always choose to buy any game possible on XBox. It's not because I think the 360 is superior, or I get a hard on for Microsoft. Hell, right now I'm writing this blog on my MacBook Pro. But The main factor is that all of my friends own 360s. I have only one friend with a PS3, and just like me he also has an XBox and plays that way more. And to be honest yet again, it doesn't make any sense to me. I understand that 360 has been here longer, but I see neither as "superior." But this is a discussion for a different blog post. Maybe my sentiments will have changed after some intense gaming sessions. But Kratos... It's time to get down to business.
