Playstation 3: Day 5 (Round-up) .. Blu-Ray, Tony...
I received my first Blu-Ray movie from Netflix yesterday afternoon, “Gone in 60 Seconds”, (one of my favorite movies of all time), and came to the conclusion that next-gen DVDs aren’t really something to be terribly excited about. My TV is 36-inches, and I couldn’t really see any stellar quality from anything other than the introductory CGI for one of the studios that...

Playstation 3: Day 4 .. Hands-off!
Day 4 was a little more hands-off of the PS3, as I’m immersed in “Need for Speed: Carbon”. Reminds me of “Need for Speed: Underground 2”, which was one of my favorite titles of all time.

Break-down: XBox 360 [versus] Playstation 3 ......
I have Playstation 1, Playstation 2, and now Playstation 3 games. I also have Gamecube, Nintendo 64, and Wii games. I have three XBox 360 games that I never play. Today, I decided to ditch the PS2 and 360 for a Playstation 3.
