Playstation 3 - Part 1
I gave into temptation. The hint of a good deal, a processed tax return and I was walking out of the local retailer with a box full of Sony console (seemed more like I was carrying a box full of lead weights if I’m honest though).
It was only a matter of time before the likes of GTHD forced me to succumb to temptation. Not much longer would I have been able to put up with the constant taunting and jibing from MiniMinor. Telling me I just had to have one. Reminding me how good the system was. How amazing the graphics were. How fantastic GTHD is…
Each time I’d walk into Myer, or JB’s and see one running Motorstorm or GTHD, I couldn’t go past without taking at least a fiver out of my DVD-buying routine to pick up the controller and have a go. I’d play. And I’d like.
More often than not, I’d leave feeling like I was missing a piece of myself.
Thursday night however, all that changed (this also explains my absense to the Motorcade).
A PS3, two controllers, Motorstorm, F1 Championship Edition, Resistance: Fall of Man and an HDMI cable were all sitting on the floor of my TV room waiting to be set up.
That evening was the most wonderful technology filled evening of my life. I downloaded GTHD as soon as the system had updated and set some times. In fact, most of the evening would be spent playing this and watching films.
The graphics are simply incredible. Each frame is like looking at an ultra high-res still photo from the greatest of cameras. It will be a sweet day when GT5 Prologue hits the shelves - and an even sweeter day when the final release comes out in 2023 (knowing Polyphony :P)

MM.. yes, you were right. Not that I ever doubted you - I just couldn’t justify dropping 1K
Kate - you know that’s rubbish
I think I’ve done well to not change our catching up at all
