[The early and expensive birthday present (from myself to myself)]

Last yr, I got myself a psp for my birthday present. This yr, I got myself..............a.....

PS3!!!! WHHAHAHAHAHAHA, with a 3rd party HDMI cable from Atake and the game which made me to buy PS, ガンダム無双, Gundam Musou

Upwrapping this big n heavy baby (box says 7KG)

Hooking it up to my hdtv via HDMI

So after asking and contemplating if I shld go ahead n buy this expensive and high-tech toy...in the end after watching the gundam musou trailer, that enticed me enough to go ahead and buy. And in the sweltering heat, I went down to Funz Center (the boss Chris offered me the best price among some of the retailers) @ AMK Hub. Once I reached there, I talked to him, wah he still remembered what he told me on Monday night, so the deal was set, I went to the counter to pay up after waiting for awhile.

Saw some nice demos on some basketball game on his 40" LCD hanging on top at the back of his shop..woah very realistic lighting...anyway the games now getting more and more realistic. I think by the time of the next generation of consoles, we probably cannot differentiate already.

I was worried abt hooking up via HDMI cos I did read some articles whereby some people in the States had problems with the handshake btwn PS3 and the display...it all boils down to this stupid shit called HDCP (High Definition Copyright Protocol), meaning if ur display is not HDCP compliant, u will not get a display at all, if u connect via HDMI which is a pure digital connection of sound and HD display. I did somewhat confirm with Samsung that my hdtv is HDCP compliant..and it really is cos I had no problems connecting via HDMI. Thus now I am playing this excellent action game in HD 1080i! WHHAHAHAHAHA...very sharp n detailed...but the game is only in 720p not full 1080p..anyway I have a small tv, so does not matter.

This game is mainly slashing,dash and destroy. There can be so many enemy mobile suits until u dunno where are u...how many are there? Well for my 1st mission, I destroyed about 1000 Zakus, single-handedly haha..2 mission I slashed lesser. The game also runs with no lags even when there is a few hundred Zakus or robots on ur screen. Too bad I dun have a surround HT system, if not the experience will be better.

Setting up was quite a breeze, some minor hiccups with the wireless connection but nothing much. Then I did one dangerous thing which was to update my system via wireless. The thing is my wireless connection is cranky, it does d/c at times when there is a wireless connection being made to it. But luckily for me, this time it did not d/c while my PS3 was downloading the update, IF it d/c, it will corrupt the updating and....i will have to send it for servicing..

Still there r somethings I need to explore into this super high tech toy. Oh yeah it runs hot too..my wooden tv console was warm cos it was blowing out hot air at the right side. Anyway now I placed it vertically. Next game to get shld be Motorstorm, it has excellent reviews for its gameplay and graphics.

Anyone wanna sponsor me this game for my BD? hehe
