Well the wait for my PS3 is over ... I came home today and Santa left me a big present by the fireplace! Actually his lovely and beautiful elf helper V. helped out by casing the local Best Buys and today they had a shipment come in... she hustled down there and grabbed one of the last boxes.

I was surprised at how heavy the box is, that PS3 console is actually pretty dman heavy. I unpacked everything, hooked it up to our 50" widescreen using my old PS2 component video cables and powered it up. Almost immediately it needed a firmware upgrade and wouldn't let me connect to the web until that was done. But that only took maybe 10 minutes and then I was surfing the web, emailing my friends and family, and generally having a grand time. Well as grand a time as one can have when you don't have any PS3 games to play! Ooops. Well I am working on that part, BestBuy.com actually has a special promotion right now where if you buy 2 PS3 games, you get a $20 gift card back and free shipping which is pretty cool. I hope they ship the games quickly, I ordered Resistance: Fall of Man and Need For Speed: Carbon.

In the meantime, I have the included Blu-Ray disc of Talledega Nights to enjoy, and I signed up on the Playstation Network so I can download free demos from the Playstation Store. I'm downloading the demo for Formula 1 Champtionship as I write this, hopefully it is worth the wait! It's a shame I can't call in sick tomorrow, cuz my coworkers are all taking the day off and I'm the only one left on duty!
