Yo so this week Sony announced the Playstation 3 and I’m all about it so far. I’ve got the specs here for the nerds, I’ll tell you I don’t know what most of them mean. I’m all about can I run over some dudes on Madden, can I knock a cat out in Fight Night, and can I shoot some heads in Socom. If it’s got that and it’s alot better than it is now then I’ll be on it late next year for sure. You know I’d also like it to do some internet surfing so I can work this site from the couch while I’m chillin and shooting someone on Socom. But anyway here’s the 411 on this bad boy, PS3 you know it’s for the real cats not that nerd xbox shit.
