  3 Years.. 3 Playstation 3'sss...

  When the PS3 came out in UK i bought one on release day. Got that phat 60gb and was happy... almost exactly 1 year later i had a kind of disc read error.. would not play games,... the rest worked fine, internet, dvd's blu rays, but not games.. So i kept it.

  So.. I upgraded, bought a phat 120gb. worked perfect.... for 1 year. Started getting a over-excited fan that went into overdrive everytime I started a game. Sounded like a plane taking off.
  Then i bought FFXIII and the b*stard just went 'nah, i'm not gonna play games for you anymore'... the rest worked fine, internet, dvd's blu rays, but not games.. So I kept it.

  So.. now, three years later i have a 120gb slim. Thank the alignment of the stars for 'Data Transfer Utility' so i have kept all trophy data, save data, themes etc.

  So i have a 120gb slim, & 2 that do everything a ps3 does.. except play game discs..

  So the moral of this story...No matter how much you have to pay for playstation 3, no matter how many times, don't give in to the microsoft dark side.....

  The Best & Worst of Game Soundtracks In 1 Week...

  GTA games have always had the finest soundtracks, no matter what music you're into there's a radio station for you with some of the biggest tracks & artists of the genre,
  
  Its also a really great way to hear tracks that you might not have heard before but wind up being one your favorite choons (this happened with Kavinsky - Testarossa Autodrive and Cerrone - Supernature from IV)

  So picked up a copy of Episodes from Liberty City for the PS3 and as well as being treated with the greats like The Look - Roxette, Waiting For a Star To Fall - Boy Meets Girl (remember that one?!) and everything On Liberty Rock... there are those that you listen to for the first time.
  I'm now hooked on Vladivostok which has changed from the russian radio station to a banging night at Ministry of Sound..Anthems! Crazy World - J Majik Fonzarelli Remix & Boogie 2Nite - Booty Luv are two I've never heard before but now have on repeat...often!
  But as well as having a great soundtrack i am so impressed with Episodes.. So glad R* brought it the PS3 and didn't stay as a X360 exclusive (haha that rained on that parade!)

  The Lost & Damned is a brutal foul-mouthed rock ride with some fantastic missions and story.. so leave the Liberty Rock & L.C.H.C on.
  Then Jump over to Ballad of Gay Tony and flick on Vladivostok, Electro-choc or Vice City FM and party with Liberty City's finest...while base jumping...in a cagefight!

  GTA IV was good...well it was effin great, but 'Episodes' busted all my expectations, if you don't own it, buy, borrow, download, or steal a copy cause it sticks a finger up at most titles out there at the moment and Johhny Klebitz of 'The Lost' Motorcycle Club is my new 'Best character I control in a game'... Especially on a 'Redwood Cigarettes' Bati Custom or the Hakuchou Custom bike

  Then, on the other hand we have Final Fantasy XIII...
  Completed the story, (just returned to Gran Pulse and have a few mark missions to finish) and thought the game was exceptionally good, Not as good as previous FF titles IMO... but still strong characters, great story arcs, intense battles (love the paradigm deck system and really, really big enemies) beautiful graphics and overall very good, i even quite like Vanille, and every review i've read hates her!.
  So why oh why oh why did they crucify it, butcher it, and ruin it with that awful reality tv wannabe bint's song at the end of it????
  I apologize now if you like leona lewis and her music but i personally think she is a talentless winner of a crappy music show judged by the worlds biggest ego making stars of people who have no business in showbusiness!
  In my opinion the fantastic ending of this game was ruined by that womans terrible warbles all over the end of it! I just wish Square had left the original japanese track in it
  (Also i wish they had given the option of Japanese dialogue with subs - one for next time please!) /rant
