Unboxing the PS3 is an… interesting… experience. Scratch that, a better term would be frightening.
Where the Wii is all happy and friendly and small, the PS3 is giant and imposing and shiny and modern. I think a vechicle-based analogy would be Vespa vs Tank.
I recall a few years ago laughing that the US gov’t were blocking exports of PS2s to certain countries because of features they could be used for arms.. seemed ridiculous at the time. With the PS3 however, I’m kind of afraid if I hit the wrong button I’ll have started a game of Global Thermonuclear War.
The picture looks surprisingly nice on the RCA cables supplied… and when the HDMI cables arrive obviously it will be much better. Oh, and it will look even nicer when some games arrive. :-)

As you could probably tell from the previous post, I’m pretty excited about the upcoming launch of GTA IV later this month. Today I ordered a PS3 and pre-ordered the game so I’ll be ready for when that ships.
Based on the advice of some guy on the internets suspiciously named “steve”, I also bought Oblivion which will hopefully tide me over until GTA IV arrives.

I’m sick and tired of hard drives failing on me. Losing data hurts way too much for a guy like me, so I finally decided to stop half-assing it and spend some money to do things properly.
On Monday I ordered a two-bay drive enclosure, and two 1T drives. I’m going to operate those in RAID mirror mode, so if either of them die I will still retain all of my precious data.
