What in fact I'm talking about is my brand new PS3 that is adding yet more mayhem to an already congested area around my TV, what with my Wii and 360 already taking up valuable space. So yep I'm the proud father of a beautiful, bouncing baby 40gb PS3 and I'm cuffed to bits 
.
So what are my thoughts on this black beauty? Well I'm going to compare it to the 360 I know I shouldn't but hey I can't resist.
As far as setting up goes very easy. No brick for the power and HDMI is as easy as pie, though there was some straining and grunting trying to get this into the most inaccessible area in my TV.
As for the OS and online set up. I don't know perhaps I'm just to used to the 360 or perhaps it was just the fact that someone (and I will hunt them down like the dog's they are) had already taken my name that kind of made it feel slightly less of an easy and enjoyable experience compared to the 360. But hey I'm online now and whilst I haven't ventured into any games ( I don't have a headset gggrrrr that was one omission I wasn't happy about) it seems to be working.
Which brings me onto the PSN Store. This seems a bit congested and not as easy to find what you want though again this may be due to me not really being that used to it.
As for games well I only have Resistance at the moment. I wasn't that impressed to begin with. Then bizarrely played it for 5 hours (that whizzed by) without a break, realising perhaps it is a good game after all to hold my attention for so long!
That's about it really I know I need to put it through it's paces a bit more and I will do in the coming weeks. Oh and if you want to add me feel free PSN ID: MunkieMunch
Firstly just a note to say this is a Macacd inspired blog so I guess credit to him or just blame him whichever
Macacd wrote a while ago that this would make a great blog title. It got me thinking what exactly would the achievements be in my life to get me to that magic 1000 full completion. Let us not forget though that some achievements can be negative and only give a 0 score.

That I guess is it I'm sure there are more so feel free to add
I have been patiently waiting for ages, like an expectant father for this day and I can't wait!!! The thought of MGS4 and GT is making me as giddy as a small child after seven sugar rich slush puppies!
But until then I'm still enjoying the box of delights that is my 360. Lost Planet Colonies is still rocking my world. I know it has its pit falls but it's these small imperfections that make it really endearing. It is still a very pretty game and I have to say anyone not finding Akrid Hunter fun needs to seek professional help!
The online community is great as well. Everyone is courteous and bar a handful of instances, polite and up for a good game.
I'm also really enjoying Civ Rev as well. Nothing like watching the Greeks trying to fend off your Intercontinental Ballistic Nuclear Missile with swords
to much fun I have to say.That's about it excuse the poor writing but I'm nursing a bit of a sore head after last nights celebrations of the good news.
