Defeating the PS3 Slim rumors

Sure looks like a PS3 slim 😉

Rumors have been circulating for quite some time on the possibility of a PS3 to be released in the coming months. Officially there will be an announcement at GameCom this Tuesday over the long awaited rumor; however, there is a 100 percent notice of a price drop for PS3 consoles. The general rumors and quantity of the current consoles being provided to retailers either are a result of a new PS3 combo pack or the release of the PS3 slim. Either way in just two short days the world shall hopefully see a much more affordable PS3 game console. Full system specs – REAL images and other information will be provided upon receiving it.

At this time it would seem relatively hopeful for a PS3 Slim to be released already; however, a smaller unit could reduce the costs of producing this item. There will surely be a price drop, most likely that of $100 giving a basic console a price of $300 (Don’t forget the wireless headset $50, additional controller $60 and assortment of games). While we would love to see a PS3 hit the market in the second week of September *cough cough* it still may just be rumored.

Thus being said don’t buy a PS3 till after the announcent on Tuesday during the three hour press conference from Sony.

Looks like Sweden -Who generally is early with the games – Has some pre-order action going.

Play This is back in full swing so expect more updates, quite a bit more often. We will also be posting more humors articles that involve ridiculousness that occurs in Washington DC.

Futurama is back with 13 new episodes, but…

Bender

If you heard the rumours of Futurama coming back to TV you are correct! Comedy Central has completed the offer of 13 brand new episodes after Fox decided it was just not up to it’s high standards (didn’t they also reject this other cartoon that was just nominated for an Emmy? Oh yeah that’s right Family Guy).

While this is true, not one of the well known voiced character roles on Futurama will return! They were offered $75,000 per episode and shot it down. Katey Sagal sort of star of Sons of Anarchy has evidently no use in phoning it in for some nice pocket change.

This being said Futurama will be back and done so with the brain power of Matt Groening, but it will sound like a bad remake that was thrown on to ABC Family (Legally Blondes, 10 Things I hate about you – Girlfriend makes me watch this crap channel I assure you).

Summer Film Reviews

The following is the burrito rankings and quick shot reviews of some of the most popular summer flicks

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Burrito scoring for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Graphics: Brilliant to say the least. Not a hint of that awkward 90s CGI crap that used to plaque the summer films.

5/5 burritos.

Story Line: Not a whole lot of action or interesting plot lines in this bit. Just a lot of puberity moments and some really cool effects.

2/5 burritos.

Music/Sound FX: Nothing used awkwardly and none of the stock sound effects that I still continue to hear in films and TV shows. Always a decent sound track as well.

5/5 burritos.

Overall: The film is generally pretty boring and not much happens till the end of it. If you love Harry Potter this is bound to be another hit for you but if you were never a fan this is not the film to prove you other wise.

4/5 burritos.

Transfomers: Revenge of the Fallen

Burrito scoring for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Graphics: Explosions galore! Generally something great to watch, if you are mindless or ADD.

5/5 burritos.

Story Line: There was a story? If there was I sure couldn’t spot one as I basically just saw explosions and Fox running around like a stallion. Not complaining though…. Eyyyyyyyy. The twins robots though… Reason alone why this gets one buritto. Stereotyping in this age is one thing but blatantly giving the guys gold teeth and saying they can’t read is another. Gold teeth are so out of date it’s not even funny. Seriously though it’s not what we would call acceptable. Also the parents in the film have gone insane in comparision of the last and if I hear one more annoying oneliner joke from an autobot in the next movie… it’s game over.

2/5 burritos.

Music/Sound FX: Explosions and modern music… what more could you want? Aside from a decent story line.

4/5 burritos.

Overall: The movie is fun to watch… but do so under the influence of something.

4/5 burritos.

Purrrrrr

Burrito scoring for Termanator #22322 or something like that

Terminator Salvation

Graphics: Some of the most amazing special effects I’ve seen in quite some time.

5/5 burritos.

Story Line: The final piece of the puzzle was generally stupid and boring; however, the visuals make up for any boring story line. It flowed well enough to keep us entertained. Having a CGI version of The Governator was also pretty good.

3/5 burritos.

Music/Sound FX: An ok sound track and great sound FX.

4/5 burritos.

Overall: Cool movie to watch but generally not a good story, but since when does that actually matter?

4/5 burritos.
