…see you next year. Seriously, what games should I get for this thing? I’m thinking Rachet & Clank (NYT rave), Oblivion (which apparently ate two weeks of Tom Bissell’s life) and maybe Ninja Gaiden or Virtua Fighter 5. Also v. excited about Blade Runner: The Final Cut in HD.

Update: I opened the box, and this thing is ugly. It’s the size of a small player piano and seems to be coated in a kind of lacquer I thought was only available to WASPs in the 80s. Seriously, it shines like the ashtrays in the movie Metropolitan. Weirdly done, Sony.
