Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain

Btw, what happened to our blog ratings?  I see the thumb icons on other blogs so I assume its still there, I just don't see a rating.  I miss getting a -3 within 20 seconds of posting a blog.

In other news, I broke down and bought a PS3.  The manager at my Gamestop laughed at me, and my son told me I was no longer his father.  2 of my friends have threatened to never talk to me again.  My cat unleashed a furball.  I am not making any of that up heh.  So I felt all dirty anyway about adding to Sony's sales figures so their delusional, arrogant management could point to another unit sold and puff their chests about what a great system they have but I did it anyway.  I bought myself a nice big 1080p Toshiba set a few months back so I figured why not, if nothing else its a cheap blu-ray player.

Aaaaand...thats about all I will use it for.  What a fucking mess this system is.  The user interface is a joke, you can't find shit.  I bought a total of 5 games (it was a struggle to even find that many games I wanted for it), with 3 of them being used.  I put in the first used game and was treated to a lengthy install.  Great, I want to wait to play a game.  Who doesn't?  The controllers feel like happy meal toys that will break at any second, and nice job not having rechargable batteries.  Yeah, love the "hook the wireless controller to your system thereby negating the point of a wireless controller" feature Sony thought of.  I finally found the demos and downloaded Heavy Rain and, aside from the painfully long download time (about 3x longer than a 1.3g d/l on the 360 for me) I couldn't find the damn thing to play it.  The only bright spot I found was that I could buy FF7 for $10.  Then I read that only the profile that purchased it could play it, so there's no point in spending that money if my son can't play games I buy as well.

What's really sad is that this system is over 3 years old and the interface is still this bad.  If Sony didn't make killer television sets they'd be done right now.  How people can actually get their gaming fix from this mess is beyond me.

You suck, Sony.  May you suffer in the pits of bankruptcy and financial ruin very soon.

And to every Sony fanboy (on this site and others) who ever told me about anything about the PS3 being as good as or superior to the 360, you can suck one of my nuts.  I'll even let you choose which one.

So I guess now I go out and buy some blu-ray movies or something.  I guess for the rest of the weekend I can test out the upconverting abilities on it for regular dvds and at least see how it plays those.  After spending the better part of today playing games on it that's all I have the will to do right now.
