Post 25 - Phoenix Update

PHOENIX UPDATE

I haven't really had the time to do one of this up. I was going to do one a week ago after the midnight premier of Iron Man 2. But at this point, I feel enough people have seen it to just have to say "It was great, go see it if you liked the first one"

So on top of that, things have been pretty good. I had a really rough week with very little sleep and I've been feeling a bit draggy. I'm on my second day off and still don't really feel like I've accomplished much for my time off, but it's all good.

Couple updates on pickups.

I decided to go ahead and pick up 3d Dot Game Heroes. Very few copies of this game seemed to have been shipped and with an excellent opening price of $44 I had to pick it up right when we received it. I'm going to be putting some time into it tonight and I'll come back with my findings.

This past Sunday I picked up the Black Wii. I managed to sell my white one for $180 and they gave me extra for bringing it to them...I felt a little bad because they obviously didn't realise they dropped price..but oh well..

So I picked up a black one that comes with all the stuff the white ones did, and Wii Motion Plus and Wii sports resort...which in store, retail together for 59.99. so overall, good bargain, and I llovvvee the black one. I've played more wii this week than I have the entire time in owning one (slight exaggeration, but still)

And yesterday I picked up a new PSP. Nikki wanted one for when Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep releases, so I figured with the recent bundle price drop (149.99) I'd pick up the Rock Band edition and get my old one ready for her.

Surprisingly enough, Rock band is really fun on the PSP. It goes back to their Amplitude roots, which was one of the first games I'd ever played on the PS2. Sadly when I sold my first one I sent that off with it and I've never been able to find another copy. But I really found that this game incorporated everything that was so good about that game, and what's great about the rock band system and put it into one package with better music. So I'm impressed. It also came with a school of rock UMB and a 4gig memory stick. great bargain.

So that'll be it for me for a couple of weeks..Nikki's picking me up Red Dead Redemption and something else for our anniversary (that's why she's getting the PSP, with a couple add ons) and I'm really looking forward to that. If I end up picking anything else up it'll be actual rock band (prepping for the Green Day release) and Darksiders on the PS3.
