PS3/Savitar Unboxing

So, it's the middle of January already. How was your holidays? XD I know. Late. Late. Late. But I've only been back from mine for only a week. Anyway, I got the best holiday gift this past holiday season. Dad finally got me a PS3. Well, technically, I still payed for it but he said he'll be paying me installments. I don't care. I finally got my own PS3 and I named him Savitar. I'm still sticking to naming my gadgets with Sherrilyn Kenyon's characters. Kyrian is my computer, Ash/Acheron is my Nintendo DSL, Valerius is my PSP, Alexion is my Motorola Razr V90, Simi is my Canon ixus 60, Xirena is my iPod Video 30G and Sin is my external 320Gb WD Passport.

I got Savitar last December 22, 2009. Been scouting the web for the best place to get it and PinoyPS recommended Mr. Dynamic at Virra Mall. They had 120G PS3 Slim Asian for PhP14, 700. That just includes one controller, and the necessary AV cables and power cords. I don't know why I didn't get the US version. I usually buy my discs from Amazon anyway. But the Asian is cheaper and that's the deal clencher for me. XD That still doesn't include the HDMI cable. And no games. So I got Little Big Planet, Assassin's Creed II, Uncharted II and God of War Collection. PinoyPS has this buy and sell of games section and over the holidays I was able to expand my game collection to include Resident Evil 5, Assassin's Creed and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Now only Batman: Arkham Asylum's lacking on my immediate games wishlist. Also, I'm now ready for Final Fantasy XIII and God of War III come March! Wooohooo!

Open sesame! )
