Get it online for $10. Its for transmitting a digital signal, not an analogue one, so don't worry about quality. Either the signal gets there as a 1 or 0, or it doesn't.<BR/><BR/>2) Buy at least two more SIXAXIS controllers. I have three, and one is always plugged in and charging. That way if somebody's battery gets low, we swap it out.<BR/><BR/>3) The memory card reader is a bummer. The worst thing about it is that you only use it once, and then it collects dust on a shelf. You can probably pick one up very cheap on eBay, come to think of it.<BR/><BR/>4) About the downloading, you may think you have it bad, but a couple of system versions ago, you couldn't even go do something else during a download. You're spoiled :)<BR/><BR/>5) I've got about 6 games now, and a bunch on pre-order, but for now, the emotion engine is getting a lot of use, I'm glad I got the 60GB, personally.<BR/><BR/>6) You might wanna check out Tekken 5 from the PSstore, my wife and I love it. Be advised, Tekken 6 isn't terribly far away tho.<BR/><BR/>7) Blu-Ray is winnin' the war, and the results are very nice when I rent a disc. And I'm only at 720p.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I paid through the nose for mine back in November (not ebay prices, but all of the peripherals were set at ripoff prices and I didn't have the patience to wait out the holiday season) and I still don't have any regrets.<BR/><BR/>By the way, kudos for not supporting the Gamecube Casual (tm).Todd Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289079996889542886noreply@blogger.com
