Happy PS3 day (for PAL regions anyway)

Big, heavy and brown. Not the way you’d expect to describe a shiny new PS3 but that was my first impression of the new console that is now keeping my feet company under my desk at work. It was snugly wrapped in brown paper – i guess to keep it anonymous more than safe from bumps in transit.

Of course i had to unwrap and unpack it all, just to make sure it was what i expected it to be. Second impressions are as expected – shiny, smudgeable, and imposing. I like the way it looks though, i don’t need it to be tiny or light as it’s going on my entertainment unit at home – not in my bag.

I managed to take advantage of the special Ferrit was offering via Hill and Stewart 100% Electric Store. $150 off and a decent discount on games bought at the same time. Ordinarily I would avoid Ferrit (for various reasons – what is up with the name anyway) but now that I’ve tried it out I can’t say I have too many complaints with my experience – i paid them money, they shipped me goods.
