I have now officially owned a PS3 for a year! WOO HOO! Set off the fireworks and let the band play, I've had a whole year of NEXT GENERATION console goodness! Oh how good its been, all the TOP QUALITY games I've had the privilege to play, all the HIGH DEFINITION Blueray movies I've bought, all the FABULOUS downloadable content I've been privy to. Yep, without shadow of doubt I can say that the PS3 is the single greatest piece of technology you can own!!!! All of us should own one!!!
"What?"
"What do you want me to say?"
(Indistinguishable, muffled voices)
"Now look that wasn't part of the deal!"
(Slightly more aggressive muffled voices)
"No... I .... I can't say that, it doesn't feel right. Its too much..."
(The sound of a gun being cocked)
"Hey woh! Woh ok! Lets not get to hasty about things... I was just saying that.. you know... everything you've got me to say is a lie! Can't we just leave the last untruth alone... I... just... can't...keep...fibbing!"
(BANG!!!)
"OH FUCKING HELL! ARRRHHHH!!! YOU'VE SHOT ME IN THE GOD DAMNED FOOT!!!! OH HELL... LOOK JUST PUT THE GUN DOWN, OK! OH SHIT THERE'S BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!! LOOK I'LL SAY IT ALRIGHT... I"LL FUCKING SAY IT!!!!
(Sounds of pain and anguish)
I... I... Love Sony and whole heartily endorse the........................
(Sudden sounds of a struggle and fistycuffs)
"HA HA! TAKE THAT! YOU NO GOOD, SONY SCOUNDREL!!! AND THAT!!! I"LL TEACH YOU TO GO ROUND SPREADING MALICIOUS LIES ABOUT YOUR LACKLUSTRE PRODUCT!!!!"
Sorry about that. Anyway let me now clear a few things up:
1. I still own only ONE game on the PS3. There is nothing else still, a whole year on, that's worth playing that isn't already installed on my all-round superior PC.
2. I own TWO Blueray movies. They are so expensive that one can only purchase those titles which are truly epic and the range isn't good either.
3. The Sony Store is useless. While relatively slick in presentation there is absolutely nothing worth downloading.
4. The only saving grace of my PS3, so far, is its backwards compatibility with PS2 software.
Of course all this said, I firmly believe that things are looking up for the PS3 in 2008. I can't wait for GTA 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4 and as recently released on Kotaku, the Sony Store is getting a revamp in the spring. So bring it on please Sony as, right now, my PS3 is only a little better than a door stop.
