So the Xbox has gone. Forever. Never to soil my gaming habits again. I traded it in at Gamestation with all my games for a nice cool £260, which is far more than what I imagined I'd get. I was very lucky and acquired a 60GB PS3, the ones that have (some) backwards compatibility and a card reader built in.

Apologese if the pic is too big, but you know what a PS3 looks like anyway. I was fiddling about with it before and I have to agree with what my mate said about his 60GB - "If this thing does a backflip I wouldn't be surprised". It's incredibly versatile and can do a lot more than what I bargained for. It's also a hell of a lot quieter than the 360 was.

EDIT: I forgot the games. I got Metal Gear Solid 4, Soul Caliber IV, Devil May Cry 4, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted and Mass Effect for the PC.

And on a sidenote: I met this happy chappy today at a garden center.

He's scraggy, very old and very wise. He has seen more things than we can ever forget. I call him Muffles.
