OH...did I mention?

Feast your eyes on my latest toy. Yes, it's the MGS4 bundle, and yes it's all mine!!! Yes I have beat the game, and yes it was awesome!

I'll have to write a little about switching platforms. Back about 5 years ago I bought an Xbox mainly because of the whole Halo craze, and for the most part I loved it. Great multiplayer games, easy to use, and easily "modded" (thanks Justin!) When Xbox360 was released I was extremely close to buying one but couldn't fine one to be bought. My desire waned, and eventually turned to a slight bit of relief after I heard of the horrible problems with the first generation models. Then Sony released the PS3, and I'll have to admit, I balked when it first came out. I guess I was just against it because I had always been an Xbox type of guy and I didn't want to give it a chance, but after we bought an HDTV last year I've had the itch for a Blu-Ray player and I just couldn't pass this sweet baby up when my mother-in-law gave us $500 smackaroos to spend on "something fun". This was 3 weeks ago and I haven't looked back. I'll have to say, switching gaming platforms is very similar to switching policital parties. Some people really don't care, and enjoy the best of both worlds, some people welcome you with open arms, and others talk to you like you're crazy and couldn't imagine uprooting your loyalties and giving your money to a company like SONY...like it's worse than giving money to Microsoft???

I don't care...I love it!
