So Close, Yet So Far Away

I am this close, $22 plus tax, from owning a PS3 and yet can't for the life of me get a Wii, XBox 360 or PSP game to review.

I took in some games, okay nine, to my local Gamestop to trade in and was only a couple of games away from getting the PS3. I have been saving up for a little while now and will be getting the latest and greatest in Blu Ray viewing excitement. Okay the PS3 may not be the best console but it does include a Blu Ray movie viewing thingy which will be the first high definition device in my house other than a TV. And the TV is not exactly the greatest.

I have, or actually my son bought it, a Westinghouse 19" TV but it doesn't exactly impress everyone here. Yes it is good but not much better than that as the darn digital reception here sucks. I live a half block from the railroad tracks and when a train goes by so does my reception, so much for the great digital TV revolution.

Okay so you can't have your high definition TV and watch it too. I just hope that I am not dissapointed by the PS3 and how well movies work on that, I have not been really all that impressed with many of the things that others are touting as the best thing since electricity twinkled down Ben's arm and he got the idea to put it through something else. I saw a HDDVD at Best BUy playing right along side a regular DVD and a Blu Ray and could not see all that much improvement, the TV settings could have made that much of a difference. They were on the same exact TV's but I think people are sometimes just plugging the more expensive stuff when they praise the high definition stuff.
