Ah yes, the PS3.  Today we shall take a look into the lifespan of the third variety of North American Sonyshian PlayStations.

From its birth, the 3 leads a life like none other.  While on the quest to find our subject, we were tipped off as to the location of a possible chance to witness a 3 be conceived in the wild.  Dropping everything, we rushed to the scene - A popular wildlife gathering place we have come to call the GameStop.  1st on the scene, we were the envy of all behind us.  Others thought us to be insane, but they could not possibly understand our mission.  After hours of waiting, a select number of us were chosen to view our very own 3 be conceived.  After it was all said and done, the wait began.  Finally, on November 17, we returned to the GameStop wilderness to pick up our 3, still in its egg.  Once back at the lab, an incision was made through the egg's clear protective membrane and the egg was opened.  We birthed the 3 right here in our lab!  She was then hooked up to various machines via the use of HDMI wires to monitor her vitals.  Soon after, we tagged her for tracking purposes and began running various test to see how she would perform.  Our first test was Genji.  This program nearly turned out to be a complete failure.  As a result, the Genji program was sent back to its case to think about what it had done - It was had disgraced its programmers and rightly must be banished to the neatherrealm, never to see the light of day again.  While a disappointment, we pressed on to the next test program in hopes of finding better results.  We were not disappointed.  The 3 passed the Resistance test with flying colors and I must admit I had a good time testing this one all the way through to the end.  The next test was to be the Call of Duty program.  While a good program which yielded satisfactory results, it felt... wrong.  We quickly lost interest in this test and returned to the Resistance test for further testing, this time giving it the hardest test possible.  The 3 was then given a break for a number of weeks in which it sat around and would occasionally engage in a Blu-Ray or two, or revert back to some of its cousin the 2's behavior.  It began to grow little specks upon its surface which were allowed to spread until the Grand Turismo program was ready for testing.  The Grand Turismo program also yielded excellent results and was subjected to HOURS of rigorous testing.  My future car is in there so I tested it HOURS constantly aiming to shave another 1,000th of a second off my last time - just like I will do on the expressway in real life when I finally get it.  But I digress - After the GT program, the 3 reverted back to its slothful ways of sitting around doing absolutely nothing.  With the scarce availability of programs to run, there are no longer any tests for me to perform.  The 3 has an uncanny habit of attracting the unseen dust particles from the air and onto its body.  Perhaps this is a way to fend off insects... we may never know.  Until the Heavenly Sword program comes down to us from the heavens above, I fear the 3's massive dust collection will eventually engulf it and consume its innards.  To this day, the cancerous dust growth continues to build until a cure is found.

In a somewhat related story, my Nintendo Wii sat in its egg until I was able to acquire the proper cabling to hook it up for testing.  Due to the inclusion of inferior cables, the Wii, although picked up only days after the 3, sat in its egg until some time last month.  Since hatching it, the Wii continues to please me with its results time and time again.  The WarioWare program testing phase was a blast and still is.  Various Old School retro programs were also tested with the Wii and brought back nostalgic enjoyment like no other.  The Wii does not have the cancerous growth the 3 has exhibited; perhaps it is the 3's spiteful way of seeking vengeance.  

To summarize our findings - The Wii gets play while the 3 remains a bench warmer.  Soon we hope to finally recruit the Xbox 360 once it has been equipped with the new cooler running chips and hopefully a sexy HDMI port with eyegasms to boot.

Until next time, this is -LilCoop- signing off for a much-needed anime fix!
