Diary Of A Gamer

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.

What’s going on in your life?
