So…we have spent a lot of money over the last two days, some of it things that we needed and intended to buy, others not so much! We had been talking about getting a PS3 for the last few weeks because the progressive scan DVD player that I bought 6 or 7 years ago was really not working…it could easily take 30-40 minutes of us messing with the tray to get it to close and read the disc. I’m pretty sure that the cleaners probably had it open when they were dusting and forced it closed, thus messing the mechanism up. We were looking into DVD players and figured that if we were going to buy a new one, we should go ahead and get a Blu-Ray player (why not upgrade…) and if we were getting a Blu-Ray player the one in the Sony PS3 was still one of the absolute best players out there. For another $100 we got a gaming system. I know that Bob is not gong to have time to actually PLAY any more games, but he still hasn’t accepted that fact yet! We used the $250 that Bob’s mom gave us for Christmas to pay for most of it…unfortunately there are a lot of unseen expenses, like the remote control and the HDMI cable…nearly as expensive as the console itself!
