WOOT!

 

Thanks to MC! MC had a pre order finally come in. He also had been able to acquire one outside the pre order so he offered it up to Bill and I.  Bill decided I could have it and there you go.

 

I picked it up last Tuesday and went home via the company store to pickup another controller, wireless connector, PGR3, Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero.

 

I have played both PGR (all golds) and PGR2 (all plats) and couldn't wait to get my hands on 3. Rather than spend the time on Monday night to hook the new system up to the home theatre system I went the route of instant gratification and hooked it up to the 27" CRT we have in the toy room. Unfortunately on Tuesday night I could not connect to the network for some reason so I just played PGR3 offline. Twas a lot of fun. On Wednesday night I was able to get connect to the network and setup my gamer card etc.

 

On Friday night I was able to get the system hooked up into the home theatre system. WOW! A 50" plasma and dolby 5.1 makes all the difference <;-). I spent the weekend getting to Rank 5 on PGR3 in solo mode and becoming a member of the Ferrari Owners Club. I also spent some time with Kameo. This game actually looks interesting so I will spend some more time with it. Of course Hexic is a hit, with the kids too and as a Bejeweled junkie I had to get that too. Live Arcade is awesome. They truly did a great job with this.

 

So watch my gamer card grow over the next few weeks. You know where I will be spending a bunch of my free time <8-)

 

I have mostly been concentrating on getting golds in PGR3. I still have a couple of silvers from some cone challenges I couldn't be bothered spending time on yet, and I Have quite a few plats too. First goal is to get all golds, then go back and do plats. Of course I need to do some online racing too <;-)
