Wow, it's been a couple months since I last made an update, and I've got lots to talk about....I'll try not to make this Blog post a brick wall

Before I begin, Happy B-day to my PS3! I bought it 2 years ago at Best Buy, as they were clearing the last of the 60GB models. I actually bought a PS3 10/11/07, and the unit was one of the limited defective units that had a mfg date of Jan 07, which came with a high-pitched noise that emitted from the console while running. I took that one back the next day (10/12/07), and picked up another 60Gb, mfg Mar 07, and it's been good to me ever since

First and foremost, I made the plunge last month and bought a 360. Alot of people didn't know this, but I always liked the 360, I just refused to pick one up until they had fixed the hardware, mainly in the Elites. I wanted a black one to go with my setup theme. I bought one of the Fall 09 Elites, and yes it's a Jasper! 12.1w power supply and all, mfg date 7/29/09. Since this is my secondary system (PS3 obvilusly being my primary), I don't have much for it yet. I picked up Halo 3 and a set of controllers (4 in all) so I can jam it out with friends, then online once the new Wireless N adaptor hits the shelves Nov. 3rd.

I bought another controller rack from armorytech.com for my new 360 controllers, keeping the theme black with all of them What do you think?

Next up, and not so much of a big deal, I;ve decided to sell my PSP 3000, as those scanlines just aren't cutting it. I'm perfectly content with my original 1000, and it's served me well over the years. I just can't keep my eyes off of the lines of the 3000, so it's got to go. Lets hope the widely rumored 4000 has a wider color gamut, but without the lines, like the PSPgo. Gotta have that UMD drive

here's a few Pixel Junk Monsters pics I did earlier this morning, comparing the two.....notice the 3000 has green colored sand!

Last but not least, here's a few updated pics of my setup, as it continues to grow while my pockets go empty.

Hope that wasn't too much. I know everyone gets tired of looking at my setup pics, I have a bad habit of posting new ones everytime I get a couple new toys

Today I did an update on my PS3 Setup.....got some new things, moved stuff around, etc. It's shaping up really nice, especially since I actually have room for everything now. I graduated from college almost 2 years ago, and have not used my desk since, so that was the first to go. after that, I unmounted the game shelf from the wall, and moved it back to where the desk used to be. Now, I feel like I've got a legitimate home theater in my bedroom, at least a mini one at that. Take a look, let me know what you think. I also posted these pics in the Rate my Setup thread in PS3 forums, so feel free to give me advice/suggestions/comments, I'm open to all. Alot of times they are the things that motivate me to make changes regarding my setup.
