A brief update...

My new PS3 is on it's way! Should be here by Wednesday.

Also, I've decided to stop doing weekly collection updates and will move to a bi-monthly format. So one on the 15th and then the last day of the month. So next update will include everything since my last update so it will catch the tail end of October. Not that you care, but in case you were wondering.

I started playing Shadow of the Colossus and I can see why everyone goes on about this game. I'm only an hour in and I'm really enjoying it. It, like Ico, are very unique experiences.

Oh Noes! The YLOD on my PS3

I've had 2 RRODs on my 360s, but through all of that my PS3 has been solid.  I was very surprised (and sad) when my PS3 died tonight.

So, my choice is $178 and I get a refurb of my 60GB (yes the backwards compatible one) or $145 and they will send me out a refurb slim.

I think I'm going with the slim.  Bigger HD, uses less power, gives off less heat, and theoretically, is quieter.  I don't need backwards compatibility so that's not a huge deal for me.

Regardless of which I do, it sucks.

Oh, and my new Star Wars the Force Unleashed II disc is stuck in the PS3 as well.
