It’s those I’m-so-excited-with-a-new-toy-and-totally-forgot-about-blogging kinda week. Anyways, gotta catch up!

Last week, I got myself a brand new Sony Playstation 3 120 GB slim. Got it for P15,000.00 at iTech in Glorietta. Anyways, here are the unboxing shots at the office. Thanks to Chino Carrion for allowing me to use his nice phone for the photos…

Also, I’d like to thank office-mate Paul Uy for convincing me (and helping me procure) this baby. Thanks, Paul!

Unboxing the Sony PS 3

We tested it with Tekken 6 and the projector at the office. Great game! That reminds me, Tekken was the reason I got my PS2 in the first place. It’s also the reason I got my PSP (Dark Resurrection) and now, it’s the same one for my PS3. I totally love this game!

Anyways, when I got home for the set-up, it was fairly simple. The unit automatically detected the Wifi connection and was online in no time. The only problem I had was that me home broadband provider, Globe blocks the PSN (Play Station Network) registration site when I get the 180.XXX.X.X series in the IP. Just some restarting of the modem and it worked fine.

Moreso, another cool feature is that the PS 3 automatically detected my Windows Media Player 11 from the PC as a media server. From the PS3, I can stream movies, photos and songs from my PC via the Wi-Fi. It even plays DivX and MP4 video formats. Basically, anything that Windows Media Player 11 can play, this thing can stream.

Just a minor annoyance was the fact that my unit was an Asian version and they use the “O” button instead of the “X” to confirm. Maybe I’ll get used to it. Darn.

But as a whole, I’m happy with it. I’m currently playing Tekken 6 and Uncharted 2. Uncharted 2 is a kick-ass game! Asteeg! In the background, I’m downloading demo and other stuff on the Playstation Store… coolnezz!

Meanwhile, If you’re on PSN, just add me gmtristan and let’s play.

Gotta practice! I hate it when office-mates kick my butt! Hahaha!
