What’s Going On
A few different things are happening over the next week or so (possibly some right good game deals, too!)
The iPhone 3G was announced Monday, and since I’ve got a back-up cell phone, I eBayed mine and will be able to afford a replacement 8GB iPhone when they are released July 11th – just 29 more days…
The sale of the iPhone also put some cash in my pocket, so I was able to order a Dual Shock 3 controller yesterday. It should be here early next week, and I can’t complain. I’ve been thinking about getting one for awhile now.
I’ve then got an option to snag an amazing deal at GameStop, when it happens. It’s my understanding that a Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale on all used games is coming sometime this month. With the extra money in my pocket, I’ve actually thought about getting a friend with their Edge card to accompany me and help me snag Ninja Gaiden Sigma, BurnOut:Paradise, and Heavenly Sword together for about $82 total. That’s about $27 a game, and something I think I could live with. It’d be a little tight after that, but good grief – think I’d have anything to play?
Add in the fact that my copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 should be here early next week, as well as Metal Gear Solid 1 I snagged from half.com, and I will be looking at getting gametime in on #1, #3, and then #4, as to appreciate the entire series. I have no doubt MGS4 is going to deliver – I just want to be prepared for it all.
Oh, and all this is happening just as our nieces and nephews arrive early next week as well. Perhaps patience will be a virtue learned over these next 6 weeks. At least I will (I hope) have time time to game here and there.

Change Of Plans
Blah… I hate it when life throws curve balls.
It seems we are going to have from 2-4 kids staying with us at any time from June 16th through the 30th for part of their Summer Vacation, which means… little to no PS3 gaming for me. This means that getting MGS4 on release isn’t the best idea.
In light of this development, I’ve re-arranged my priorities for games and such, and have come up with the following:
Since Buy.com has the DualShock 3 controller on sale today, I’ll be using some of my PrizeRebel.com points to help pay for that. After that, I won’t have the points to pre-order MGS4 for free, so I’ll continue to look to get MGS4 for free after the kids leave (filling out surveys or nab a sale on it… who knows!?).
I’m also still attempting to score a trade on Heavenly Sword, which, if it falls through, I will quite possibly be without for another couple months. Hey, I’ve waited this long, what’s a little more?
