Revolution 9

The Name of The Game

Last night we had a small gaming session in Wilson's room.. He just only bought a PS3, and had instantly bought some latest games.. Warrie also brought his Street Fighter IV and FIFA 09 for us to play.. I was able to witness new games like Batman: Arkham Assylum, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Kill Zone 2, which are all awesome; Later at night, we all played FIFA 09 and SF4.. The whole night experience is just unforgettable, and made me feel sick of playing PES 2009 and my 'slow' Street Fighter IV i have installed in my laptop..

Now, i'm feeling something is missing in my life. I am missing FIFA 09, and looking forward to FIFA 10 (the first time in my life i rate FIFA higher than PES), and finally, i made up my mind to get a PS3 Slim, sooner or later.

After some long thinking, thorough research plus a bit of peer pressure, i'd concluded that PS3 console is a much better choice for gaming instead of a gaming PC. With PS3, one can do almost everything in terms of entertainment. You can play all the latest high end games without any lag, play online with friends, earn trophies, watch BluRay movies, use it as a media center to view photos and play music on HDTV, browse the internet etc etc.. Even solely for BluRay player purpose, PS3 is already super worthy compared to other expensive BluRay players on the market. The only short coming is that i have to buy original games for PS3, which cost around Rs 2-3k each..
However for PC, i have to upgrade my PC at least every 2 years to keep up with the latest games, and each upgrade will cost around Rs 20-30k (which is like the price of 10 PS3 games already), while a PS3 console only cost Rs 15k and it last for many many years.. For PC, even though i can get all pirated games free from torrent, but i will loss the privilege of trophies and online gaming.. That why, i myself do buy 'original' PC games as collections (cz ori games in India is dirt cheap). Besides, there are so many games that i can't play till today on my laptop, like GTA IV and Crysis, when other ppl with PS3 already finished those games long time back. In addition, PS3 has a lot of exclusive games, and also games which plays much better than the PC version.. Like the FIFA 09 and GTA IV, PS3 version beats PC version hands down..


The newly released PS3 Slim is 30% smaller, 30% lighter, less power consumption, offer 120GB hard disk, comes with DTS-HD MA and TrueHD technology for BluRay, at a much cheaper price ($299). What a steal!!!

If it wasn't because i'm now in my vital final year, i would have definitely bought one right now. But back to reality, study is still more important, and i just have to wait till next year internship to get it.. I think i will chuck my plan of changing my 2-year-old Dell XPS 1530 laptop, and get a PS3 instead, which offer so much more in gaming purpose and is also so so much cheaper than a buying a new high end laptop.

Be super patience Chee Chung, study hard, pass your final year and reward yourself with a PS3 next year..
