Sounds like it. If you want a new friend I'm "Kiwidust". ;^) > I will probably pick up little big planet and soul calibur 4(loved sc2 > on the ps2). Any other games I should check out? My knowledge is more > of the pc games variety so I don't know what is out for the ps3. "Heavenly Sword" and "Drake's Fortune" (especially the latter) are both AMAZING. But both (especially "Heavenly Sword") are short enough to beat in a weekend (about 7 hours for Heavenly Sword, maybe 12 for Drake's Fortune) - so consider renting. Although "Drake's Fortune" is the only game other than "Half-life" that I've ever played through multiple times in recent memory (I actually ended up completing it on all difficulty levels - my first Platinum Trophy!). "Folklore" is odd, but also amazing - but only if you're into that kind of game. It's kind of "Japanese Role-Playing Lite" with an odd kind of adult "pokeman" built-in (a major aspect of the game is finding and successfully capturing the souls of "folks" - there's about 120 of them all together). Still it's a much better game than the sales indicate. It totally sucked me in tho' - played for weeks and weeks. > Do you think the orange box, bioshock, and cod 4 will be worth playing > on the ps3 or should I hold out for my gaming pc?

In general their all fine (Orange Box has a few quality issues, but nothing gamebreaking) - but I still prefer the PC. But - and here's where at least some of my bias comes through: if you're going to play online the level of maturity is highest on the PC and quite high on the PS3 then drops dramatically when you hit XBox Live. There are asshats everywhere, but the number on XBox live makes having fun nearly impossible for me (although I hope the new party system in the NXE solves some of that). The PS3 community is generally (sorry) a bit higher class and the PC community even more so. In any case I've never been called a "faggot" on either of them... it takes about 10 seconds on XBox live. But forgetting that the most fun we've had playing on has had to be "LittleBigPlanet" - my son and I are on almost every night now. I've got a friend that SWEARS by "Warhawk" although it's never really interested me.
