Going Home

After waiting for the right opportunity for well over two years now, I think I may finally be taking that huge step at long last. Granted I am late the party, but still... it feels kind of good to finally be able to say that I am all but certain that I will be picking up a PS3 in the very near future.

Despite some issues I've had in the past, GameStop has a deal going on right now that I am finding almost impossible to resist. All I need to do is trade in my aged PS2 and three games and just like that, they take off $100 from a 80 Gig PS3. Considering the price of that particular system is normally $399, it makes a considerable difference.

I'd like to hit up a few of the old PS1 games (Suikoden and Wild Arms immediately come to mind) and I'd also like to try and pick up into some of the new stuff too (LittleBigPlanet, Disgaea 3, Resistance, KillZone to name a few).

Probably the biggest reason for this push towards getting this system also ties into the fact that I'd like to play Final Fantasy XIII (whenever that gets released) and especially Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Yes, I know FFXIII will be hitting the Xbox 360 as well, but really... from everything I've read, it sounds to me like the game will hit the PS3 much sooner then on the Xbox.

On top of that, I'd love to watch the extended version of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children on Blu-ray...
