Forums - Sony Discussion - After many failed attempts to snag a PS3Im finally getting one this weekend

Well just as the title states I've tried many times to get my hands on a PS3, biggest reason that I didn't get one sooner is lack of funds usually due to things I have to pay that were outside of my control.  I've had a good chunk of change saved up for one but it's been slow to gain that dough, (sucks being in college and paying for bills, supplies, etc.) I even tried my best to get in the Amazon 200 dollar deal so I could afford it, it just never panned out.

But finally luck is on my side, work is having a deal for all it's employees where we get extra % off everything in the store, our used PS3's run 350 but with the deal it only costs around 260, I'm trading in my old PSP (which has dust in the screen and battery is trying to die but good enough condition to trade in, which was like that when I got it) and a few games (doing some promos I know I'm getting a boosted 70% trade in) which brings down the PS3 cost to nearly nothing and all I'm going to do about my PSP is just put the new 3000 model on my wishlist so I can get a better PSP to use ^_^ if push comes to shove when I get my student refund when school starts back I'll just get one then.

In short by the end of this weekend I'll be VGCs newest PS3 owner, and will be set for this generation of gaming IMO, the first game I'm going to get is LBP, second being MGS4 but because I am on a budget I'm probably getting LBP the day I get my PS3 and then MGS4 on Christmas if I can.  After that I finally want to get my own copies of Soul Calibur 4, Unreal 3, and R&C so I don't have to keep playing my friends PS3.

Make sure you get Valkyria Chronicles as well, since your sig says you are playing Disgaea on PSP.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Yeah I hear it's good, though I'll be so sad to not be able to play Disgaea till I get my new shiny PSP. (Though my sig is false as I'm playing Chrono Trigger on the DS at the moment)

Why didn't you just get SC4 and UT3 on 360? :/
And don't forget Ucharted! It's cheap now :)



Valkyria Chronicles is in need of placement on your list!

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

@Okey
Cause I don't have a 360 anymore, I used to share consoles with my roommate so I played his 360 (bought a couple games for it in fact) and he played my Wii, stuff happened and I ended up moving to a nicer place, I still go over there to game from time to time though.

Also Uncharted really doesn't interest me but I'm going to check it out for a few days, if I like it I may put it on my Christmas list as well, but I'm not a big fan of what I've seen so far except for the look of the game.

Maxwell, Makingmusic has seduced you. Consider yourself to be one of his pawns now.



Tease.

Oh... well, taking those two things into account, I change my recommendation to Prince of Persia.



Buy LBP, MGS4, and Uncharted...stat!



I haven't liked much Prince of Persia since Sands of Time but I'll see if the new one is any good.
