No screen, no fun
Sup guys. So you probably thought ritchan was on a two week honeymoon with his PS3, playing Uncharted and Valkyria Chronicles, perhaps even trying out Ratchet and Clank, waiting fervently for his genuine copy of Persona 4 to arrive from the UK, and trying to budget for FFXII at the same time.
Nope, no such luck.
You see, on the day I got it, my friend’s TV gave up the ghost after about 6 hours. So I was left with a PS3 and a non-working television. And, after I went to my other friends’ places and plugged my PS3 in, about 20GBs of PS2 ISOs that didn’t work except for Rez and FFX. Come to think of it, a PS2 Slim was 3 times cheaper than a PS3, and if we include the games, infinitely cheaper. Oh well, I’ll definitely get that in December then.
So what am I left with? Next month, trying hard as hell to sell off my RISC workstation stuff in order to afford a lovely little Samsung Syncmaster F2380. Oh, I did my research. Dell 2209WA, eIPS panel, yadda yadda. But the fact remains that PS3 Linux doesn’t do 1680×1050, and the 2209WA just doesn’t display black that well.
I’ve been playing Pokemon Gold and Advance Wars 2 on my PSP instead. Good old faithful, even lets me play downloaded games!!!!! Speaking of which, Beaterator is fun. If you have even the slightest interest in electronic music, play it. God of War for PSP is also a nice introduction to the God of War series. I’m gonna wait for the God of War Collection for PS3 to get jiggy with 1 and 2, of course. Yggdra Union’s the same as it was on GBA, except that the graphics don’t look as pixelated and I gain morale when I level up.
