What happens when you beat,... no,... DEFEAT two of the only other true Star Wars "freaks," if you will, that you know at a brand new version of Star Wars Trival Persuit DVD Edition?
Well for starters, you do not suddenly become popular with the ladies, if you know what I mean. For whatever reason, BG girls just don't understand the kind of skills that are necessary to win at that game after playing it for hours (I could have had it in the bag after 15 minutes but the dice was not my friend at first) and it took me until after 1 a.m., for Pete's sake, whoever Pete is. If that does not impress a female in BG,... then I guess growing a little bit of beard and not combing your hair does... for some reason. Maybe I look like a studious "bad boy" now or something. Whatever, I certainly don't mind the attention I've had the past couple of days.
But I digress.
This is from today's Something Awful; the truth of the new PS3:
At a Glance: The company that made video games mainstream, Sony's next-gen console is the only one powerful enough to contain all of Hideo Kojima's baffling Metal Gear storylines.
Cost: More than what you make in a month at GameStop.
Features: 3.2 GHz processor nicknamed "Cell" because developers feel like they are in a jail cell when they try to code for it.
The Cell processor can assign tasks to multiple processor cores freeing up resources for other tasks, you know, like the Xbox.
New wireless PlayStation 3 controller featuring more trigger-like L2 and R2 buttons, and a big PS3 "home" button in the middle, you know, like the Xbox.
The console will come in two flavors, a core package priced at just $499, and a "premium" package priced at just $599, you know, like the Xbox.
A brand new unified online service where players will have just one username across all games, leader boards, a friends list, avatars, and messaging, you know, like the Xbox.
A new version of the Cross Media Bar that will allow users to organize user profiles, view pictures, play movies, music, and more. Users can also download content from the "Marketplace", you know, like the Xbox.
A 20GB hard drive, you know, like the Xbox.
Will probably break the second you take it out of the box and turn it on, sadly, like the Xbox.
Linux comes pre-installed with everything you need to eventually hack the system so you can backup the games you rent from Blockbuster Video.
Sony is set to redefine the way you purchase video games! Buy the base game featuring no content whatsoever and then log onto the Sony Marketplace to buy the rest of the game for at least 300 more dollars! It's what gamers have been waiting for all these years! Add horse armor to your Nissan for only $1.99.
I was immediately reminded of a certain Penny Arcade comic about almost the same thing. It would seem that nothing ever changes. Ever.
Just another reason why I wish Rockstar would have gone with Microsoft instead of Sony, back in the day.
