There's sad news to report - my PS3 80gb has been deemed unrepairable, and the peoples in charge of sorting out its issues have been authorized to send me a new 160gb.
Unrepairable, they say?
I call shenanigans!
Was it really D-E-D? Or just a sweet piece of manufactured brilliance that can no longer be bought but easily kept?!?! Hmmmmmmmm?
::sniff::
I hate you Square Enix!
Now how the hell am I supposed to play Persona 4 and finish 3?!

35 - 40 Hours In
Nearing the end of Chapter 11 of a 13 Chapters game and my PS3 decides to die.
Somehow I want to blame Square but really all I can do is blame my dastardly luck with Sony and electronic products.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised I managed to have the system for as long as I have without some sort of ill-luck until today.

Nerd Post: Complete With Non-Zombie Rage and a Dash of Fan-Service
I, for one, am very much looking forward to March.
No, it's not that Spring is upon us in a matter of weeks. As I have stated before I do not like Spring for it reminds me that Summer is right around the corner.
It's that the first week and a half of March will bring with it Muse @ MSG, the release of Gorillaz' new album, and the release of Final Fantasy XIII.
I was really happy until last week and now I am less so.
Why?
For some reason, Square Enix thought it was okay to eff over the US Sony PS3 users.
Why, Sony?
Why would you ass-effery have the release of a Limited Edition bleck...argh..xbox..cough...meh FFXIII console and not release A THING special edition wise for the PS3?

How many evil Microsoft dollars did they throw at you, Square?!?!
As a child of the Commodore 64 and Atari, I never had the 'fortune' of owning an SNES, NES or Sega.
The PS was the first 'console' owned by The HOchieS when that beautiful dirty grey little thing was released so many years ago.
Since then, I've been a Sony Girl and yes, I've dabbled in the arts of Nintendo too because you know, Link just screams 'luz me'.
I suppose this is a little of what Nintendo users felt when Final Fantasy VII was released for the PS.
Oh, so this is what a slap to the face feels like.
Ohhhh.
And might I say, "OW" while I'm at it?
As each day marches closer to March 9, I hope that Square will surprise me by dropping that awful "Enix" from their name, return "Soft" in its stead and with it, bring some dignity back to Sony when the PS ruled (although in Enix's defense, you guys may put out solid games that I've not played so I cannot be dismissive of you).
I cannot believe I bought an effin' PS3 JUST for this game only for it to be released 3 years after the fact and without two postcards as the UK version's getting.
I almost feel a boycott coming along especially since I have no towns to visit, with no bars to get sloshed in or play the piano, no houses to go into and steal elixirs from unsuspecting grandfathers and gil from wee ones. Who am I supposed to make fun of now?!
It only hurts all the more after having finally finished Final Fantasy Tactics, after a personal fear of that game like no other for 12 years.
Now there was a game: an amazing story with so much deception and murder that those sprites shocked me with their 'stabby' behaviour, penchant for poison and heretic-branding rhetoric.
The music was nothing short of brilliant and the characters were many to keep track of but who cares? My little Zarnyx/Ramza was the cutest.
Although. he was a little, umm...too...defined in the ass for a sprite.
I'm certain those white pants didn't help the situation any either.
White pants never do.
They never do.

The Deed Is Done
The PS3 has been bought.
It's a very beautiful system, but as per usual, a very easily dirtied piece of hardware that enjoys being bathed in dust, cat hair, cat drool and fingerprints.
The graphics are "wow", even when not played on HD goodness but you can see injustice being done to its capabilities. A great TV will be needed to enjoy the maximum brilliance of this thing.
Finally, the real reason for this post is that Motorstorm is surprisingly fun. It may be sick and wrong that we laugh when those excruciating, painful crashes and burning occurs but you have to see it.
Score 1 for Beetchie who got broken in her race by her character being hit in the head by her own foot, then her heel hitting the cliff side as she was falling down.
Thanks for the good times this weekend, Beetchie and H1.
There are 18 days left until the gig.
Oh and H1, I am not an amateur!

The Or 2 Christmas List 2007
Surprisingly, there's not much I want this year.
I thank all who contributed to the PS3/Rock Band endeavour. An update on that is as follows - "Rock Band" was purchased yesterday using the Amazon Gift Certificates bestowed upon me for my birthday.
The balance without the present money came up to 10 dollars plus 15 for next day shipping. Barring any misadventures on Amazon's part, we should have our game on November 21st, the day after release.
The actual purchase of the PS3 has not happened yet but will of course, happen soon so that our Thanksgiving Week will continue the trend of the Crazy Fun we tend to have every year. Sadly, it may not be able to top the greatness of last year's "Pepperoni Animal" but really, not much can.
So.
On to Christmas and the list. H1 told me "to post that shit on the blog", so here goes...
I am no longer trying to fanagle donations for the PS3. With the cash/check donations I've received, I'll be putting the $349 needed to complete the purchase.
I would like,
The xxxHolic Manga series (in English).
Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii.
Mario Party 8 for the Wii.
Bells
AT (& possibly Co. exceeeeept, maybe the Cookie. He's a bit of a hooligan type that I can't handle)
That's all I can think of at the moment.
Everyone else, if you haven't already done so, tell me what you want!
I love you, guys.
Currently listening to: "1 AM (Christmas)" and "6 AM (Christmas)" from The Animal Crossing Soundtrack

Okay! New Or 2 Scheme!
This "scheme" involves what I want for Christmas and my birthday.
I want amazon gift certicates.
I, heh heh, seemed to have spent all mine.
But now this is coming out and I must have it!
Also, so that no one is confused - I want a PS3 on which to play it on, so the amazon money will go towards a PS3.
I am quite content with whatever donations you would like to provide, unless it's of course, 0 dollars (which isn't priceless, like those mastercard commercials like to advert. sometimes).
Oh, and Beetchie? I still want Naruto from you though.
And thanks.
Goo'day.
Oh, and H1? When they release "Brianstorm" for this shit because you know anyone in their right minds will... just think of the gd goo'd times that will go down.
Our sign for Matthew will change for next year.
