Last Thursday I spent over $700 on games and such. The reason behind this is because I got a PlayStation 3. In other words, I have now gone PSWii60 as well as DSP (I've always wanted to say that XD). That means I now own every current gen console and handheld. I'd have to say it's not that bad. XD
The PS3 I got was the PlayStation 3 Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle. Meaning I got MGS4 (that I'm going to sell... you'll see why in a min), the new Dual Shock 3 controller, and the the 80 gig PS3 (the one that they dropped and is now back). I got it for $500, and I got it at Wal-Mart so they gave me a $100 giftcard. And with that card I got some HDMI cables (gotta use them HDMI ports on my 37" HDTV... it'd be a waste if I didn't XD), I got another Dual Shock 3, I got this little charging stand thingy that has a nice light show when charging the PS3 controller, and I got Burnout Paradise for the PS3. All of that is over $100, but I only had to pay like $40 or so due to the gift card. So over all it was a great deal.
But before that I went by GameStop and picked up my pre-order for "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Limited Edition)". Now that's why I'm going to get rid of the MGS4 copy that came with the PS3 (I got the Limited Edition so I don't need an extra copy). I also picked up the guide for MGS4 (I wanted the Limited Edition one but they said they ran out at the midnight launch). And I also got Ninja Gaiden II (well, it's my brother's game so he's going to pay me back when he gets the money). All of that topped out at around $170. So over all I spent over $700 (tax and all) on the PS3, some games, and some other things. And it was worth it. And if anyone here just happens to have a PS3 then my PSNID is Red_Dragon_088 (it's also on my GSProfile thingy).
And now for pics, because everyone loves pics. XD

I got the 360 back last Wednesday (the day before I got the PS3... strange). And I got a free month of XBL, so that means I'm back and ready for CoD4, and BF:BC (Battlefield: Bad Company) that I'll be picking up on launch day. I downloaded the BC demo and it was pretty good, different then CoD4, but still I LOVE blowing things up in Bad Company and I can't wait to try it online (well, it has the online part of the demo, but I mean full online).
Also, all three Metal Gear Solid games has been beat, so now I can move on to MGS4... And I've got to say, they were great games (I wish I had got them sooner) but MGS2 was so confusing. XD

Add me on PSN!

Yeah, the MGS games were great, and good luck with MGS 4.

Quite nice. 
I've been wanting one as well, if only for MGS4.
Can't wait to rock with you in BC.

And you say you don't have money...
Oh well, I'll start catching up after my next paycheck. TV first, 360 next month (depending on what's announced at E3 in terms of price drops and stuff), and then PS3...probably when FFXIII comes out. XD

Cam: I haven't touched Brawl is sometime, I've got far too many games to beat. Just throwing a few out there, I've got TWEWY, FFVII:CC, need to finish up Tekken DR, Pokemon Diamond, Tales of the Abyss, and so on. But if you drop an IM on MSN (I added you) we'll battle. XD
As for the money, I could use it. XD
Erica: I'll add you, and I'll try to remind you to add me back when you get home. XD
Yoruichi-sama: I don't know... I guess I just find the money here and there. XD
Personally... I think the best deal would be the MGS4 bundle. It comes with a $60 game, and if you don't want the game then get rid of it and make a little money off of it.
mitu: They were great, I wish I ad gotten into the series a long time ago.
Ty: It's well worth it Ty. If you haven't played MGS, MGS2, and MGS3 then you should pick up the Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection when/if it comes out there and then pick up a PS3 down the road for MGS4.
And nor can I, I can't wait for BC....
Robo: I don't have money, more so now then ever. Over $700 will take a lot out of someone. XD
And if you had the money now I'd say get the PS3 now (with the 80 gig PS3 floating around and all). But the 360 is still better then the PS3... at least when it comes to online gaming. And yea, you need a flashy HDTV to play them HD games on. XD
Wolf: With all the good games on the PS2 it should be able to hold anyone over until they get another system. I've still got a few PS2 games to beat.

I like how you have them set up. it looks great.

Thanks. The stand itself also wasn't cheap, that thing was like $90 or $100. But then again it's worth it.
