I recently purchased a Play Station 3. I gotto tell you, a big improvement is the wireless controllers good work Sony.

The other thing you can do is set the unit up to connect to your wireless internet router which is good darts too. This was a bit of a muck around however and I found that I had to set the PS3 up as a DMZ (de militarised zone?) which isn’t awesome but I managed to get it working. I also had to turn off the MAC Address filtering protection from my router, which also isn’t the best. If anyone out there knows how to find the PS3’s MAC Address I will be happy to hear it.

Games I have purchased are (should keep me busy for ages)

Grand Theft Auto 4
Pretty good so far, I like shooting random innocent people. Is that wrong? I am finding it hard to resist this activity, especially when you brush past someone in the street and they give you attitude, I like to pull out the knife or pistol and give them a pizzling.

Grand Turismo 5
I have like all of this franchise. Still getting the hang of it. I gave the on-line racing a try on Saturday and it was ok. Not sure if you can choose to race friends at this point but hopefully this feature exists

Fight Night 3
The controls are all different from PS1 days, so still figuring it out. I have managed to knock all my opponents down but seem to lose the fights via TKO which is confusing if you have not been knocked down yourself.

NHL 2008
Again all different controls so getting used to it. The fights between players who have a bit of niggle is cool. As I write this I realise that the last Ice Hockey game I purchased was NHL breakaway 98 for the PS1 so this marks a ten year upgrade, not bad really.

Virtual Fighter 5
Got dominated by a friend first game. Is at bottom of shelf gathering dust until a worse player challenges me. Are any of you guys computer game gumbies?
