Today I went to Toys R Us and picked up MotorStorm, Resistance: Fall of Man and another SIXAXIS controller. Then at Circuit City I bought a 60GB PS3, Ridge Racer 7, 300!, a PS3 headset and a...really expensive HDMI cable that cost me a whooping 100 dollars. Finally my last trip was to my local PX where I purchased a 42" Plasma HDTV for 900 dollars and Ninja Gaiden Sigma!

PS3: $499, 300: $29, MotorStorm: $59, R:FoM: $59, RR7: $39, NGS: $59, HDMI Cable: $99, and TV: 899.

I spent over 1600 dollars today... :X

You need to update the firmware now. You can download F@H at any time. But other than that looks really nice that's usually the way I go shopping as well. Get everything in one or two trips in one day.

Congratulations.

Now, crack open some of those games and start playing the hell out of it. And Be sure to check out all the demos on the Playstation Store. Oh and I hope you saved some money to getHeavenly Sword in a few weeks.

The only thing i would change is the HDMI that you bought, really no point for it. 10 dollar HDMI's work the same and do exactly the same thing.

Nice setup is that a 20gig?

Here Buddy (TC)- If you dont already have this you will thank me

Coupon

Also i would return the HDMI and get store credit for Heavenly Sword and or Warhawk. Then i would ebay an HDMI cable ($5-$10)

And what tv is that? How much does it cost? is it good? ASL?, JK XD.

lol. You should see mine. 60" 1080p Sony SXRD (rear-projection), 5.1 Channel surround sound (though it does not support HDMI *tear*),all of the cables are hidden, the speakers' wires run under the carpet (pretty amazing technology). It all looks very clean as well. Yes, I'm spoiled. I'll feel deprived when I go off to college. lol. Of course, we didn't get the surround sound system for just the PS3. We got it for movies as well. Also, now we don't have to worry about the analog black out in 2009 on this TV. Good stuff.

Thanks for everyone contributing.

The HDMI cable I got was the best I could find there, others were $50-70.

I really don't see how something like that would be found ALOT less elsewhere.

Also, if anyone could possibly help me out with the 5 free Blu-ray process, I would appreciate it.

I spent $15 for a hdmi cable at my local fry. I could have order it online with shipping for a few bucks less. But i did not want to wait. Anyway, you overspent. Anyway, enjoy. I just got my ps3 too 2 weeks ago. And I really like the AI in RFOM and view photos. It looks so real like it was printed.

Meh I don't care all too much about the cable, and the box that it was in is not completely torn apart. I can't really return something that's been opened...

The TV is a Sabre 42" Plasma HDTV.

Actually Kellogg's kicks ass.

Store brand tastes like cardboard.

But I see your point nonetheless.

Oh my god, yes. I'm using this cheap desk that my old TV used to be on. By the way, my old TV was so old - its actually made of wood and the audio disappears very often. I'm still amidst looking for a stand, but they sure are pricey.

And it feels awesome now that I have the best next-gen console right beside me.

Hey congrats on all your great purchases man, especially the ps3, you will really enjoy it. I would update your firmware, then got online with resistence, it's great 40 person matches and download some demos. Judging from your picture of nariko, i would say download the heavenly sword demo, it looks great and imo plays pretty well. Enjoy and add me as a friend online if you fee like, my id is in my sig.

Sorry to tell you this but $100 HDMI Cable is a Waste. The Sales Guy sold you a Line... HDMI is ALL DIGITAL. Digital is a series of 1s and 0s. The Digital advantage is that it takes ALOT of Noise to Change a 1 to a 0 or vice-versa. HDMI was designed so Bars & Restaurants could run TVs 100s of Feet from the Source without fear of Noise degradation. We all got used to the Buy a GOOD cable thing because of Component Video which is Analog. For HDMI especially on a short run of 10 feet or less it will not make a difference. So aside from a $10 HDMI cable being made with shoddy pins you will not see a Picture Difference from a $30 vs a $100 cable. I would see if you could return it and buy a cheaper cable. My Acoustic Research Cable I got with my TV for $25. My Picture is Stellar.

Cancer research you can run while your PS3 is idle.

Personally I'm waiting for my 32" CRT TV to flake out and probably get a new Samsung DLP LED screen - 56"? We'll see.

Congrats on the setup.

Yeah just sent that form in today.

I chose The Invincible, Blazzing Saddles, Resident Evil Apocalypse, Black Rain and Transporter 2.

The selection was mediocre, I made the best I could of it.
