Requiem for Reality

You are looking at a replica of my 60gb (yeah I got one) PS3. Why wouldn't I post a real picture you ask? Because I don't want you to know where in my house it is. I tell you what though, soon enough I'll have pictures of the entertainment stand and everything in it. But for now...I just wanna say, this thing is great.

So I have a desktop PC. And it's great and all, but it's in my office/ studio, so I can't just entertain with that you know? How would that even sound? "Hey let's all go into my office and watch HEROES in SD on my 17 inch monitor with one chair behind the desk? "

Right that wouldn't work out at all. So now I have the ability to download games right to my hard drive and play them as much as I want when ever I want. I can put songs on my USB flash drive and transfer songs and files back and forth with ease. The controllers are wireless, and recharge through the same cord that connects your PSP to your computer or phone, or whatever.

The thing can detect wireless networks, plays in 1080p, HMDI and Optical output which is great for watching movies in 7.1 dolby digital surround. When you're done watching movies and playing games, you can surf the internet, listen to music, play a slide show, or chat with your friends you've met.

But it's getting even better. Recently sony released a patch to a program called folding at home, Folding is a program that allows you to connect to stanfords super computer network, and turns your PS3 into a computer to be used in it's calculations. Any way this patch is called life with playstation (or more like no life with playstation as my boy Andy put it) and it's almost entirely seperate from Folding with the exception that it connects to the standford computer still. The main difference between the two programs is that Life with playstation has real-time global images, and news from stations around the world. It's a good thing to leave on when you're charging your controllers.

Probably the biggest downside to this is the thing is it's HUGE price tag! I mean you can't even get a 60gb PS3 anymore for the release price...mainly because they stopped making them. So if you happen to find one, jump on it like flies on stink man. Because not only is the thing cool, and sure to get you some chicks...it's a collectors item now too.
