Comments on: Rough week http://dragonchasers.com/2009/05/13/rough-week-a-rant/ But what will you do when you catch one!?

And that was with a crazy-ass schedule where I had an appointment I think every 30 minutes every day. My co-workers all thought I was daft. :) I have a launch PS3 with hardware backwards compatibility, and an 80 gig with software BC, so I think I'm set with PS3s (both purchased primarily as blu-ray players). I do really think removing the BC was a shame... PS2 games are much nicer on the PS3 than on the PS2, thanks to upscaling. I was at the first 2 E3 shows and *loved* them.

Ditto for the DS. I won't be buying a DSi, and since they took the backwards compatibility out of the PS3, I'm not interested. If they make a slimmer model that *is* backwards compatible and less than $250, I might just buy in, but for the most part, I'm sitting this generation out, happy with my PS2 (I'd buy a new one of those before a PS3), DS and PC, with my game library largely still usable. A few office mates are going to E3, and my bosses offered to pay for our tickets. I almost took them up on it, but I need to be here for my wife as she deals with school. Besides, I don't have any ear plugs. ;) (I've been to SIGGraph a couple of times, and that was more interesting anyways. I like learning how to produce more than hearing hype about consuming. *shrug*) The selling point for the PS2 for me was the backwards compatibility. Ditto for the DS.

I also didn't mean to start a shit-storm. ;) People aren't as bad as they may seem in comments. I've been over this before with Spinks, and she just came off wrong -- she sees most things from the perspective of a dedicated raiding guild, in which framework we would indeed not fit. However, none of us soloers would be crazy enough to want to join! :D I applaud your self-control. I also didn’t mean to start a shit-storm. ;)
