Playstation Starter Kit

[Calintz]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have finally decided to make the upgrade!! No more than 1hour ago I placed an order on Walmart.com for a Sony Playstation 3 and a couple accessories. The items purchased are part of what I like to call.. .. ..Calintz's PS3 Starter Kit, and contains the following items...

Sony Playstation 3 120GB Game Console (I have chosen not to download extra content and shit, so I decided 120GB will do just fine)
Sony Dualshock 3 Analog Bluetooth Controller (Black)
Energizer Tower (charges two controllers simultaneously with two USB ports for a maximum of 4controllers)
Playstation 3 Vertical Stand
God of War Collection

Whaddya think?
Am I off to a good start or what?

[G_G]

Pretty good start. I take it its the newer slim ps3's?

What bites is that the new slim ones can't play ps2 games where one of the phat models were able too. I want to get the God of War collection so bad but I'm saving up for a new xbox360, ours burned out completely.

I'll buy your awesome starter kit for 2 cents :3 :V

No but I think its a good start, there are a few good games on the Playsation Store. Playing online is free unlike Xbox Live which is good.
If you loved final fantasy 7, get a playstation cash card so you can download the full game from the playstation store.

Have fun!

[Calintz]

I was thinking about that, but I have decided against downloading things from the internet other than DEMOs to be removed when finished playing them. I decided to go with the God of War Collection, because I played the very first one for PS2 and I loved it!! I never finished it, because I was borrowing it and had to return it. I never personally owned the game, so I'm stoked that I'm getting I&II together, remastered in HI-DEF to enjoy!!

I am 100% okay with my PS3 not being able to play PS2 games, in fact, not all older PS3 models supported the backwards compatibility. I do believe only two of the PS3s did.

I love how they have the classics online for download though. Should I decide to purchase any of the classics from the site it will definitely be the earlier Final Fantasy games (VII, VIII, IX). What's more, I have a PSP, so I can have the game on both, and the systems are linkable. =D.

SONY FUCKING ROCKS!!

[G_G]

Sony rocks until they block the playstation store on a hacked psp (pretty much the same as a jailbroken ipod)

You didn't get Lexima Legends 1, 2 and 3?

[Calintz]

@GameGuy:
Lol, I don't see anything wrong with that!! Shame on you for trying Game_Guy!! XD

@Blizzard:
What??
I did see a game in an EBGames store with Jason on it. The title was Chaos Legion or something. It was the exact same picture you have, but with different hair.

*cough* *cough* Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed II *cough*

Other than that, perfect set up (:
I need to purchase a vertical stand myself as I got a PS3 slim for christmas and I hate having it laying down, just takes up to much room.
Especially when I get my HD PVR
If you get internet you should give me your PSN so we could play online sometime.

Also on the GoW Collection, I got that for Christmas as well and I got to say seeing the old God of Wars in HD is pretty nice. The only thing I don't like is how the didn't re-master the cutscenes but it's still nice to be able to play it in HD (:

[Calintz]

!! LMAO !!
They didn't remaster the cutcenes!! Those fools!!

I will definitely give you my PSN, because I use road runner with a wireless router. It's how I am on right now from my laptop. I plan on getting both of those titles, along with their predecessors. Online at walmart.com, Modern Warfare 2 is only $44.00, and Assassin's Creed 2 is $45.00. Can't go wrong there!! Since I'm an employee, I get an additional 10% discount. =D.

coolio Calintz. Great choice on the GoW collection

[Calintz]

Thanks Royal.. .. ..

I am going to also buy the new God of War III.
It's coming out soon, and is available for pre-order almost everywhere!!

So to say the least.. .. ..
I'm pretty stoked!! My stuff should be arriving anywhere between the 25th and the 29th I was told.

@Landith:
It's kind of a pain that the vertical stands cost $20 alone though.. .. ..

[Diokatsu]

GoW III has tracks from some of my favorite metal artists including Dream Theater. Fucking great.

[Calintz]

Sounds awesome!!
I'm not too into metal, but I love heavy rock, so it should be interesting.

[Diokatsu]

It's GoW, metal is totally going to fit the part. It's a game that demands hardcore and emotional music. I'm just hoping it lives up to the standards of the past two.

[C.C. rOyAl]

Yeah I cant wait for III, I've already pre-ordered it!

[Landith]

Yeah, the vertical stand is expensive for just a small piece of plastic :/
But like I'm going to buy it after I buy my HD PVR which is like 250$ because I need room for my HD PVR so yeah it's going to be awhile before I get enough money for the stand and the HD PVR

But good idea, CoD MW1 and Assassin's Creed I is pretty fun. GoW III is suppose to be really beast. I didn't really like CoD WaW though, you might like it if you like World War II games though.

Another game you might want to look into is Resident Evil 5, it's good if you like 3rd person linear shooters.

Also I suggest buying MW1 before MW2 if your going to play the campaign as MW2 starts where MW1 left off.
You don't really need Assassin's Creed I before Assassin's Creed II because the storylines are pretty much completely different just a little references from the first one that you might not get. But yeah, just my 2 cents (:

[Calintz]

Nice, nice.. .. ..
I am upgrading my entertainment center also.

On my list is a Sony Bravia 32" and a Sound Bar.
I want to get a Sony Blu Ray player also. I want to keep my PS3 for gaming use only.

[fugibo]

money would be so awesome
just sayin'
I'm having to restrain from buying some The Shivers albums right now.

[Calintz]

Lol, where you work?

[fugibo]

Lol, where you work?

I prefer not to divulge personal stuff on the interblagz.

[Calintz]

Whatever you say chief, Lol.
