New addition to the console family

That's right, I took another step out of retro gaming. But I didn't purchase this console, it was given to me. It's an 80gig system that is not backwards compatible. I currently have two games for it: SingStar (which I don't have any mics to play it with) and LittleBigPlanet. I put in LittleBigPlanet knowing that it was going to take awhile to install to the system, but it took an hour to! I had to download an update, then install game data to the system! Dang.. With my NES, all I have to do is put in the game and it plays. Even with my Wii, all the game has to do is load for a little bit! I also decided to download the free rental for Godzilla 2000 that was on the PlayStation Store and that stupid thing took 2 hours to download! It's a good thing I wasn't actually waiting to watch it.

All in all, I really don't know how often I'll play this thing. I had borrowed one before from my work and played the Sega Genesis Collection and I loved it! But it kind of defeats the purpose of getting this "new age" system only to play Genesis games on it. I can just use my Genesis!

Eventually I'll get more games or download some from the PlayStation Store, but for now I'm saving my monies for other, more exciting things! Yaaay!
