PS3 On Sale….And Shipped!

December 9th, 2008 No comments

A friend at work knows I’m a huge DVD fanatic, and with a single e-mail sent me into a self destructive downward spiral of extreme wanting.  Ya see, the wife and I have been shopping around for a PS3 for its Blu-ray capability, wireless connection to the internet, and the automatic firmware updates it performs as they’re released.  We were unable to find one for less than $400.  The e-mail this particular friend sent me was for a 15% discounted price on a new 80Gig Playstation 3 being offered by Dell.  

This discount is still available, so if you want to take advantage of it, please act quickly.  After the 27th of December 2008 the offer disappears.  Click on this link, then input CTV2$2HX963145 into the coupon code.  I managed to snag an 80Gig PS3 for $350.  

Woot!  It’s shipped!  I’m finally diving into the world of Blu-ray, and I couldn’t be happier.  I’ve already ordered a few titles for Christmas, so Santa should be getting us started with upgrading our DVD collection to the Blu-ray format.  I *think* the big guy is hooking us up with copies of:

  • The Ultimate Matrix Collection
  • 300
  • Batman Begins
  • The Incredible Hulk (2008)
  • Starship Troopers
  • Hellboy 1 & 2
  • Iron Man
  • Wanted
  • Pirates Of The Caribbean box set
  • Hell Ride
  • Transformers

 

Also looking forward to picking up The Dark Knight on 12/09 during lunch.  Even though we won’t be able to watch it until after Christmas, I can’t wait to get my hands on it :-)  The original plan was to wait until Fight Club was released on Blu-ray before upgrading, but The Dark Knight was such an amazing bit of film that I couldn’t imagine watching it in any other medium other than Blu-ray.  

Tyler Durden, you still have my love, but The Dark Knight was such a surprise that it forced me up move my upgrade timeline up a bit…
