Here’s the situation-
On May 17th I used trade-ins and a $100-off coupon to purchase a PS3 at Gamestop. Then, using my PUR card, I used a printed points coupon to purchase “Demon’s Souls”. After that I found “LBP: GOTY” and “Heavy Rain” for around $35 for the pair. Succeeding this purchase was an on-the-whim pick-up of “MGS4 Greatest Hits”.
Still with me? Good. It goes on…
Blockbuster Video decided to have a B1G1 sale on “previously played” video games that are $14.99 and under. Sweet. The wife gets “MySims Party” (ds), “Mario 64” (ds), “ Zubo” (ds), and “Skate 2” (PS3); whilst I hungrily grab “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune” and “Bioshock 2” (PS3). (to be fair, Skate 2 and Mario 64 were purchased for the two of us to enjoy…at the time)
OK. So, my palate is overwhelmed with PS3 goodness and I won’t want for a thing until “The Last Guardian”, right?
No.
Let me reiterate with emphasis; NO!
You see, the wife has “discovered” my tastes in video games are impeccable and has subsequently sequestered (alliteration much?) the PS3 in order to satiate her Skate 2 and LBP needs. Leaving me characterless on said games and irrelevant in her life until she “needs that sticker but can’t get it” or “can’t own that stupid spot”.
To summarize, I have a new 160gb PS3 that is full up on all kinds of gaming awesomeness, but I can’t touch it because the wife won’t go play her fucking coral pink DS. I either need a new wife or a different/worse taste in gaming. Otherwise I should just cut my losses and figure the PS3 into the “things-you-lose-when-you-commit-yourself-to-someone” category.
(If my rant sounds bitchy and woe-is-me, it is. But take heed, dear reader, and feel no sympathy, for my catalog includes everything from the Sega Nomad to the Xbox 360; this gamer will game on!)
