Update -- OK, I went to our local Hastings yesterday and asked if I could see the 60GB PS3 mentioned in their ad, and someone brought a box out from in the back. It ** IS ** a 60GB model, and the clerk swears it's new and not refurbished. HOWEVER, I doubt the veracity of this because this clerk, in addition to another clerk there, told me that Sony is still making the 40 and 60 GB models but has discontinued the 80 GB models. I know that's not right! Clerks rarely listen to me when I discuss games and systems though, because I'm an *ahem* older female and they seem to think I can't possibly know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, it is a 60GB model. It's on sale for $449 after rebate and comes with a Sixaxis wireless controller. Whattya think; should I go for it? Get an 80GB model? Wait to see if another, newer, better model comes out any time soon? Advice appreciated. Thanks.

Did anyone else see in the Sunday ad for Hastings, that they have 60 GB PS3s for sale? Does anyone know offhand if these are new or refurbished? You can see the ad here:

but the print is pretty small. I know the best way to find out is to go to the store itself, but I just wondered if anyone else knows anything about this. I thought 60GB ones weren't being made anymore. Would this be a good deal, one for $449? Thanks.

OK, I think we all realize that many DS games have a word that starts with "D" followed by a word that starts with "S" in their titles. So to make your own personalized game title, put your name, a colon, a random word from Column A, followed by a random word from Column B. For example, my game title would be Mia Smith: Dragon Slime! LOL

Column AColumn B

Deadly Spawn

Dire Sword

Dragon Silence

Daunting Stillness

Dangerous Slime

Desperate Sorrow

Disturbing Struggle

Dark Strife

Demon Spirit

Dangerous Sin

Dynamic Storm

Alas, Planescape Torment isn't it. :-( No talking skull. I'm pretty sure the game I'm thinking of was released in early 2001, maybe Christmastime 2000. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

You start off in your village, which is being burned by invaders. I don't recall being able to create a character; it was kind of like "Here's your character; you're stuck with him."

Hope someone can think of it! :-) One other very minor thing I thought of is that one of the players you controlled later was female and had an awesome spell called "Wall of Fire." Lots of damage to enemies with that one!

When it came out, I played it almost nonstop to keep from thinking about a very stressful situation I was in at the time, and when I finished the game, I sold it because it reminded me of that stressful time. Now the stress is long past and I'd kind of like to play it again. Any help appreciated.
