Tempted at Every Turn

It’s more like fever pitch temptation… And I’m a weak fool.

For those wondering, I’m talking about the imminent release of the PlayStation 3. Lord knows I wasn’t too impressed when it was announced a year ago, but recently, thanks to subscriptions to Engadget, Gizmodo and Joystiq I can’t even open my browser without being bombarded with temptation… To compound matters I was in the Target at Perimeter Place yesterday to get cereal and waters when I spy across the store, and it’s a big store, that they had a display model out, a working display model. And it was awesome.

So now I’m seriously thinking about trying my luck on Friday, I know I’ll get killed for doing so, but I can only hold out for so long, I’ve been without a PS2 and Xbox for 18 months now, I’ve served my time, and now I need to redevelop the callouses on my thumbs… Of course my chances of getting one are slim to none, but I’ve found out my local Circuit City may have as many as 50 units in stock come Friday…

*sigh*

Talk me out of this…
