NHL 10 looks...

… like it will indeed be awesome, according to all the hype.

But EA is only developing NHL 10 for the 360 and PS3. I don’t have a console, and don’t want one. Maybe when Sony gets around to making the PS3 work as a full-fledged DVR… but no, I’m not buying any console just to play one game.

I actually might...

If my GA tax refund is what it was last year (apparently I can get back as a refund what I contributed to my teachers’ retirement accn’t – wooo!), I actually might buy a PS3 for one game. My dad has one, and it’s pretty sweet. It streams audio and video from your laptop via a wifi connection, has a BluRay player, and is just fairly all around cool. I’d invest in a couple of other games, but I have an odd feeling that they might be my usual sports and fighting games.

I’d like a Wii, but I’m fairly underwhelmed by NHL2K9… they need to fix a LOT in the next one for me to even consider it… like auto roster updates and, um, not making the players look like zombies. I appreciated the touches they put in, like having our goal horn and stuff, but honestly, didn’t NHL98?

I'm going to drop out of college

so I can play more NHL 10 when it comes out. And Hildy, get an Xbox 360. They’re cheaper and they can also stream audio and video to your TV.

As for the BluRay player, just get an upscaling DVD player, they’re way cheaper and make normal DVDs look amazing. God I can’t wait for NHL10…

All those could work. :D

I’d have to do math to see if getting an XBox 360 and a BluRay player seperate would be cheaper than getting a PS3 by itself. But I admit, I’ve been playing video games since the NES, and I miss playing them. Yes, I have the Sims 3 and a bunch of old SNES and NES games on my computer, but they’re not remotely the same.

Then get a 360.

You can find them on google shopping for around $200, which is relatively inexpensive. Plus, you’ll love the hours wasted playing NHL 10.

Problem solved, then. :D

Actually, I have a friend who NEVER plays his… hmmm… wonder if I could snag a deal for it plus his games… he has TMNT, and I’m always a sucker for a Ninja Turtle.

The Second City link about resigning their big three

was an interesting read. I hope Toews realizes he can make $6.5 on the open market, and doesn’t resign for anything less. And if I were the Blues, I’d give it to him.
