GTHDC downloading...

So, I finally got my PlayStation 3! Found one in a Toys R Us store! I'm very happy, because this was my christmas gift that I never got, because the machine will not be released in Europe untill March and they were out everywere in the U.S untill now!

I bought Resistance: Fall Of Man too. A first person shooter (FPS) in where you play a American soldier fighting in England against an alien invasion that slowly takes over the whole Europe. The graphics are awesome, the control is sweet as hell, the story is kind of bad but it works and the atmosphere is totally bitchin'. I would say a... 9 out of 10!

I had read a lot about the consol, but I found a lot of stuff that's really cool. For instance you can connect basically everything that goes in to a USB port. A hard drive, a webcam, a keyboard, a rocket launcher, a microwave, a coffee machine, a dancing santa. Whatever has a USB contact on the end of a chord! Very nice. I'm not sure if you can plug your Ipod in to it and play your songs on there, since Microsoft has that function on their Xbox 360... I doubt that they would give that function up just like that.
The coolest thing I found though was the fact that you can install and additional Operative System (OS). I know that Linux works, and I've heard that Mac OS works too, I wont try it yet though, I'm scared of fucking something up. But with an additional OS you can do a lot of cool stuff, basically use the machine as a regular computor. You can load emulators and play old Super NES games, use text processing programs etc etc. Me like!
It has built in wireless internet connection. And since we have a wireless router here I can surf the web and download cool stuff to the machine. I had a little trouble getting it to work, it would have contact with the router for 2 minutes and then lose it. I searched the net and found out that if you disabled all the SSID on the router that problem would go away (I'm writing this if someone that reads it has the same problem), since I did that it has worked perfectly!

If you log in to the Playstation 3 store you can download games and stuff for a small amount of dollars. And some Demos of games for free! I've downloaded a demo of Motorstorm, a crazy car game played mostly in the dirt with incredible graphics and cool effects! Right now I'm downloading Gran Turismo HD Concept (GTHDC), and it is actually the full game! It was available for a limited time! Very nice.

For those back in Sweden that wonders what the whole thing cost, I payed 4850 krones for the consol (60 gig version) and the game! Very cheap if you compare it to the "around 6300 krones" that only the consol is said to cost in Sweden when it releases in March.

My gaming name is Gogaku, so if anyone wanna play with me over the net, just holla!

Tomorrow is the first day of school and I'm actually mostly excited! It will be nice to see how the schools are here in the U.S and to see if I'll find someone that I may see as a potential new friend!

Will write more during the week and tell ya'll how the school was.

Peace out!
