Je Regrette

You might recall it took me a while to pick which platform to buy Grand Theft Auto IV on. I discussed, mulled the various benefits of each, and then decided.

...What the hell have I done?

Seriously. I went to a Rockstar event last night and played the cool DLC and then had to embrace the sad fact that I'd have to buy the game all over again if I ever wanted to download it. At the time I bought the game, it's true I didn't think I cared about DLC. But now I'm having a hard time understanding where my head was at.

What were the benefits of getting it on PS3, again?

Of course, I might be bristly about this just on principle. I finished GTA IV shortly after it came out and I haven't really gone back to it, so it's not like I'll suffer enormously. The more salient conclusion here is how it's become harder and harder for me to muster up an argument that explains my longstanding appreciation for the PS3.

Coincidentally or not, just as I was writing this post, the following Onion video link popped up in my email. You know how I'm not real into passing along negativity and blah blah, and the humor's not even continuously applicable to Sony's video game console, but this was just a bit too funny (language not appropriate for office environment/children, use headphones).



It's the kind of thing that will probably put frothing Killzone 2 fans into a coma (oh my gosh, have you seen some of these Killzone 2 fans?)

Guess I'll go download Flower now. Sigh.
