Christmas brings new STUFF!

Ok so here is a list of gamingstuff I got:

32" HD TV (I CAN FINALLY PLAY IN HD!)

Batman: Arkham Asylum

LittleBigPlanet

Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time

God of War: Collection

Dualshock PS3 Controller

I didn't really like GOW:Collection, so I went and traded it in. I realized after I got it that I really never wanted it haha. So I got all of these games, and then I got like $200. I went to gamestop, traded in GOW, Madden 09, and Viva Pinata and got about $30 or so. I bought a cobalt/black DS lite with Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (WHICH IS AWESOME!) So now I have a lotta PS3 games to work on beating. I am currently working on Arkham Asylum, but I play LBP and R&C a bunch too. I plan on buying some really good DS titles I love like Mario Kart DS, New Super Mario Bros,Animal Crossing, and more.

PSP GO or PSP-3000?

So I wanna buy one of these for Christmas, but I don't know which one.

PSP GO:

Goods: Portability, great design, no UMD's to carry around, easy to put media on, no memory cards.

Bads: No Credit card so buying games would be a hassle, expensive.

PSP-3000:

Goods: Portability, Screen is great, Comes in bundles for good value, inexpensive.

Bads: Not as good looking as GO, Harder to put media on, UMD's, memory cards.

Overall, Im thinking about the PSP GO, but I guess it really depends on the money I get. Haha.

Christmas on the way!

So, I haven't been on here in a while. So let me update you guys a little. First of all, I now only have one game for my PS3 (NFL 09). I bought a PSP (1000) from my friend. Im only going to keep the psp until Christmas, then im giving it to my little bro and getting a PSP Go. There are a lot of good looking games coming out for PSP. (LittleBigPlanet, KH:Birth by Sleep, etc.) The PSP GO looks amazing. Also, I pre-ordered Heavy Rain for PS3(God, that game looks amazing) and i've paid about $15 on it. I downloaded my first PS one classic yestersay, and I chose Crash Bandicoot 3, that game takes me back to the good ole' days. Haha. Christmas is on the way, and I expect a whole lotta good PS3 games! I can't wait! Well, I guess thats enough of an update for now. Peace.

An update.

I haven't posted in a while. There was really nothing to talk about, but now there is. Yesterday, for my Birthday, my stepmom took me to Gamestop and let me pick out 2 PS3games. I got Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (I've played it but I wanted to beat it before I got Uncharted 2) and Ghostbusters.(I am a HUGE fan of the movies and the game is actually really good!) So now I am working on those two games. I am getting money from everyone else for my birthday, so I was thinking about getting Oblivion for PS3, I just recently discovered how great it is. I have it for 360, but I think I would like to have the PS3 copy, I don't know yet though. Oblivion is the ONLY thing I play on my 360, It's basically my little brother's now. He has good taste in games for his age though, so I can play his games anytime I want. Haha. Well, thats it for now. I guess I'll start blogging more now. Bye.

Along came a PS3....With problems.

So I finally got a PS3!!!! I sold my laptop to my friend for $250. I used the money on a Refurbished 40gb PS3. I walked in Gamestop and I was so happy. I traded in my old DS lite and Yoshi's Island and that paid off about $35 of it. I told the employee that I wanted a 40GB Ps3. He walked in the back and brought me my PS3. He told me how much it would be all together. I still had like $35 left, so I grabbed Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. I got home and hooked up my PS3 in a hurry. I turned it on, created a User ID and everything. Customized my Playstation Home Avatar, and stuff like that. I put Ratchet and Clank in and it was a blast. I played for about an hour. I paused the game and BLAM! It froze up. I cut it off and cut it back on, and of course, my data was corrupted! Yippee! So I started over, got about 45 minutes into the game and BLAM! It freezes again. I thought it might have been R&C that was messed up (Which would be strange considering I bought it New.) So I decide to test out another game. I go over to my friend's house and borrow Uncharted: Drakes Fortune.(Great game btw!) and I return home shortly after. I put it the game, praying it will work. It loads up fine and looks like it is going to work. I start a new file and start to watch the introduction video and BLAM! Freezes during the video. I cut off the game, turn it back on, and Uncharted won't even show up!!! I take out the disc, wipe it off and put it back in, and start up the game once again. I play the first part of the game. I watch the second little video and BLAM! It freezes YET AGAIN! So im pretty pissed off. My PS3 is screwed up. I am taking it back Wednesday and swapping it for another one. I am so mad, but it will be worth it. The PS3 is amazing, I just want a working one!!!! haha. Well, I guess its no games for me until Wednesday. Ha. The PS3 is the best system I have ever owned though. So I can't wait to start building up a good game collection for it. Well, thats all for now. Seeya.

Still saving up for a PS3!

I'm still saving up for a PS3. They are pretty cool. I played Uncharted the other day and it was amazing. I want to save up and get a 40gb PS3 with Uncharted or LittleBigPlanet (or BOTH!) So I'm saving up, but it might take awhile. Im only at $15. Haha. But for now, I will continue to work on getting a PS3. I am still trying to sell my laptop. I wish someone would buy it!!! Well, thats it for now I guess.

Working my ass off for new games!

Ok, so today my cousin and I were really bored. I suggested the idea of going and doing jobs to make some money. I'm trying to save up for some new games, beacuse I'm really out of games to play. I am tired of mine. So we went to my neighbor's house and asked for a job. She told us we could pull all of the weeds out of her flowerbed for $30 ($15 each), so that job took us about an hour and a half. Imagine pulling up weeds with your bare hands in 100 degree weather. We finally finished, and as promised, received our money. We went around searching for more jobs but couldn't find any. One of my neighbors did say I could start cutting his grass every 10 days or so for $35 every time I mow. I think Im going to do that. I just want some new games, so I don't mind working for the money. Well, thats about it for now.

No PS3 right now....

Ok, so I was gonna sell my laptop to my brother's girlfriend to buy a PS3, but she texted me and told me she couldn't buy it. So no PS3 for me.... Not yet anyway. I guess I'll have to wait until Christmas after all. I guess for now I'll stick to my 360. I borrowed Ninja Gaiden 2 from my friend for 360, and it is awesome! I plan on beating it, but then when I get done with that, I won't really have anything left to play. I need to save up and buy a new game! But I have NO way of making money! I will turn 16 in about 2 months, so then I can get a job, maybe then I can actually afford games! Haha. (=

PS3's: Was I wrong about them???

Ok, so I've been dissing PS3's for a good while now. I hated Sony, their products sucked to me. And I can't stand Sony Fanboys! But, two nights ago, my friend came over to spend the night and he brought his PS3 along. He had Resident Evil 5 with him. I had been dying to try RE5, but not on a "crappy" PS3. I wanted to play it on 360. Ok, so he hooked up his PS3 and handed me the controller, I was instantly sucked into RE5. We beat the game in one night! The controls were actually good, the PS3 handled RE5 very well, and I have to admit, It was the most fun I've ever had playing a game! So, PS3's aren't as bad as I thought. I am actually buying one soon! The menu's were well organized, My WI-FI worked great and we had a perfect online connection (Cant connect to Xbox Live because I'm not dishing out $100 for a wireless receiver!) We downloaded a demo of Batman: Arkham Asylum (WHICH IS AMAZING!!!!) and beat it 3 times. We also tried out Mini Ninjas, which was actually a cute, fun game. (But I wouldn't pay more than about $15 for it haha). We stayed up all night playing the PS3, and I was sucked in more every hour. I will be buying one in a few weeks. I was wrong PS3's are the BOMB!
