Consoles take three
So, we bought a PS2 yesterday. One console, one network adaptor, one extra controller, one PS2 memory cartridge, one PS memory cartridge, one Final Fantasy Origins game, ~$320. However, I spend all day yesterday, and most of today playing, so it appears to be worth it. Now, we have to read reviews, and rent games, and spend tons of money. I imagine we’ll have to eventually get the hard drive, since some new (and interesting looking) games require it. Plus, you *can* rent PS2 games, while PC games are somewhat difficult to rent. One thing I definitely learned about the value of consoles verses computers: I took the PS2 out of the box, plugged in power and and controllers, plugged it into the TV, and off we went. No installing, nothing even remotely complicated. I can now understand the “computers as appliances” thing, although it’s not really for me.
So, now Janette is playing the Harry Potter game, and it’s rather interesting. Not really my type of game, but interesting none the less. I rented Tenchu, which is a ninja game. It should be interesting, but it’s Janette’s turn to play now. So, in addition to many computer related things, this blog is now going to containg PS2 related things. I guess it’s just gotten one step geekier. Maybe I should include more politics or philosophy to balance it?
