So last night I had a couple friends over to play some Street Fighter 4. Playing with the usual guys is always good fun as it’s more of  a chess game than a spam fest. 

Except last night..

One of the guys, Chris, brought over his PS3 to use as he had some of the alternate costume packs. Everything was going smoothly until I decided to walk between the PS3/TV and joysticks…I trip over the joystick cables and yank the PS3 off the entertainment center. It comes crashing 3 feet down on to an area rug with solid concrete underneath. Pieces fly off everywhere, everyone almost dies from heart attacks, but the PS3 keeps on playing. I didn’t know what was more shocking.. The fact that the PS3 fell to the ground, or, that it was still working.

Truthfully the system is mechanically sound, it’s just cosmetically damaged. I can’t leave a friend hanging like

that so I’m off to replace the unit today. Thank god it wasn’t the impossible to replace backwards compatible 60gb.
