Final Fantasy XIII is almost out, it was time for me to get a PlayStation 3. Yes, I know it will be out on Xbox too but no, I won’t take the chance of getting a degraded experience. Everything is now plugged in, with my original PS2 cables (kudos to Sony for sticking to their own standards), and it’s ready to rock&roll.

I have to admit the system is very well made. The hardware is sleek and the user interface is very extensive. I think I still prefer the organisation of the new Xbox interface (looks more “entertaining”) but still, the PlayStation 3 has lots of options and can do a lot of stuff. I spent half an hour in their virtual world “Hom” and except for the never ending “downloading” and “loading” breaks, the idea is pretty cool. Now, all I need for some serious time wasting is the new FF. In the meantime, I’ll just have to finish KH Chain of Memories :-).

My girlfriend and I went to see Avatar for a second time at the cinema. We reserved seats for the IMAX 3D this time and it was worth every penny. As you probably have heard already, Avatar is definitively worth the price of its ticket. The world that was created for this movie is amazing, the story is simple yet very well told, and you can’t help but trace some parallels with the world we live in.

Highly recommended for anybody interested in sci-fi (and mean bad guys who don’t need oxygen).

Merry Christmas everybody .
