Do your thumbs hurt yet?Ponytail said:I just went to Best Buy, though Walmart and Target also have everything you need. I didn't bother shopping around. I just went to BB and tried to avoid the sales people. you can pluck everything off the shelf. The salespeople will bombard you with offers for extended service warranties and chit. I didn't think it was worth it. There are MILLIONS of these things world wide, figured by now, the bugs have been worked out, and if a controller dies, it'll be because I wore it out, and I really don't see that happening. I mean unlike when I was a kid, I do have a 40hr a week job now. So, how much can I REALLY play.
Also, go to Target for the games. BIG selection and a "cheap rack". That's where I found burnout, Chevy vs Ford and ATV, and those games all saw HEAVY use this weekend.
Saved me from having to buy another DVD player for my son. Plays his DVD movies on his PS2.

I don't know. I've been looking at some of the PC games and the chip and graphics card requirements on some of them are ridiculous not to mention that I have no idea what half of them are...but they seem far more than what my laptop can handle, and it was a top of the line machine a year ago.
That's another reason why I broke down and got the PS2.
Here's the website for the game "Black"... http://www.ea.com/official/black/black/us/home.jsp

you can use your controller for the remote alsoPonytail said:Yea, I know that. But I have a pretty nice DVD player with a remote, and the new PS2's don't come with a remote...they're extra too. And yes, I am THAT lazy now.
I think I have a ps2 remote laying around, I'll sell it to you for 10$

So much for decorating.....
You can do both. Redecorating won't cost more than $300. I have it figured out. Just go get the system. It'll be killer on your TV.

I'm still digging Doom3 and both Halos. There's only one or two others (Breakdown, Half-Life2) that stand out. To me. FPS is still my favorite genre completely based on the efforts of Bungie and the storyline behind Halo.
Not sure what you mean by totally interactive worlds though. If FPS doesn't fit that bill, what does? Are you talking about large scale MMORPGs?
I think you should paint the big wall. It'll add depth and color and save you a bundle. You said a lodgey look. I vote for a navaho (sp?) red - maybe textured. Wooden blinds. Woven rug. Nothing wrong with that rec room furniture unless you've destroyed it recently. Just add pillows. Solid color slip covers on the furniture in the living room - they make nice fitted ones now. Maybe a wall hanging, but that means dusting. Big mirror might be wicked.Mikeinsmd said:Just painted 2 yrs ago.... Aren't slip covers tacky? The rest I'm ok with.
