so close

I was this close in snagging one of those new PS3s. They're lighter, slimmer, less power hungry.....I really wanted it. But then I thought about it. My PS3 still works fine and has backwards compatibility to boot. I couldn't give up something that still works fantastically. Sure it doesn't have the new HDMI chip. Sure it's power hungry. It all comes to that it still works. Besides, having $299 for other things doesn't hurt.

I got Metroid Prime Trilogy and Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box to tide me over. This is my ice cream.

Another reason to get the new PS3

It supports bitstreaming of TruHD and DTS-MA audio signals. Sure it doesn't do much for me at this time, but I hate it when a better version of something I have comes out. I was thinking of getting one (like having it in my Amazon cart), but I remembered that I still have one more year with Best Buy with my current PS3. I couldn't let that go to waste.

Snowball Mic

Disappointing. I've read reviews that just gushed out at the seams for the product. I tested it and dang, it does not work as promised. There are three settings and only one works.

*sigh*

Goddamn you Logitech and your shitty PS2 mic. Why did you have to break down?

EDIT: Well, I'm a freaking idiot. It now works fantastically. It just needed to warm up.

I want it...

...too bad I already have one, but damn it is tempting.
