Please add me or leave me a comment with your PSN so I can add you.

Looking forward to some good gaming

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!

After uming and ahing for a month or two my lost PS3 has been replaced by a new and updated version! Although part of me laments the loss of a fine looking old-school system, how can I complain when the ability to smash heads on Killzone 2 has been returned to me?

I am currently installing the system update, obviously, then I am planning some late-night hardcore Redeye action on the go. It seems so long since I last held yon sturdy pad in my sweaty little paws I can hardly contain my excitement. It's almost greater the second time round!

Since I have yet to become attached to any of my previous PSN IDs I shall probably make myself a shiny new one to go with my shiny (well, OK - matt) new console. See following post for more info

I went and saw my friend at Gamestation and he fixed me up as usual - I got a 250gb system, Killzone 2 (obviously), Little Big Planet and Need for Speed:Shift, the latter of which I will possible exchange soon for Tekken 6. Also got an extra controller and extended warranty for a monetary amount just shy of 300 pounds.

Really looking forward to getting my teeth into Batman AA and Uncharted 2 soon as well.

Squee!

Yeah so I broke up with my chap just shy of our 5 year anniversary. To be honest it hasn't been working for a while now, it's been on and off for years really, though this time is for certain and though it's hard it feels like the right thing. *shrug*

But the purpose of this blog (aside from the expert relationship advice GS offers!) as it says in the title is the fact that the PS3 was a joint purchase and - since I am not cruel at heart - it is fair that he gets it since a) he was the main reason for me buying it in the first place and b) his monetary input was significant. And I can use the flat deposit he's returning to buy a new one anyways!

And here is the key question - do I get a slim or an original! Gah!

I've been perusing the thread of people pondering this same question with amusment in the PS3 board but now I find myself in the same horrible situatuion, and I have no idea what to choose. The slim seems like the obvious choice and for good reason eg: better memory/design/won't be a dust magnet/is small. But I love the look of the big phat one, and I liked the fact that I had chosen it previously despite its flaws and being more expensive rather than turning to the cheaper Xbox, since I am a PS girl at heart (well I'm a Megadrive girl at heart but y'know).

I am torn - but I want to get a replacement soon so I can heal myself by cookin foo's on KillzOne.

What would you choose?
