Got a PS3
It's not a 360, but it'll do... Updated with story.
And chlamydia isn't gonorrhea, but it'll do as well.
Can't believe they shipped the PS3 in another box, usually online stores are too cheap and just slap the shipping label right on the box itself and call it day.
@natetodamax: I think you are mistaken here man. Congradulations Brandy thats awesome, how did you pull that one? I would recommend that you try playing Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (still on of my favs on PS3) and Metal Gear Solid 4 of course which is another very good exclusive. Also since you dont have a 360 still you can still play other great multiplats like Oblivion and Bioshock which would be high on my to do list if I hadnt already played them. Hopefully you can complete the trio soon and get into some great Microsoft exclusives like Fable II and Gears of War series etc.
For something that expensive they had better cover it up, too many hands touch your mail before you get it. Also I think with all the rediculous regulations the Post Office has it's not possible to send anything not covered in the right brown colored material. I know we can't at work, and I work for a mail house that deals with the Post Office daily. It's gotta be a box or something similar. Again, I could be wrong. At any rate, they better cover up anything that expensive or someone might get greedy.

to the OP: congrats on the ps3, enjoy it
Yeh I hadnt realised that she had attached it to the forums when I read it the first time. So maybe a little bit of a back story to go with the picture would have made the issue clearer for people who havent read any of her other blogs, but knowing Brandy there was nothing inflamatory behind this.
"enjoy your purchase until you realize you made the wrong o- .....................lol im joking no fanboyism in THIS post!! yes...not really.

The Ps3 is a great console.
The wii is the wrong choice.
The 360 is the best choice though. Ps3 is behind that, but damn, the wii sucks donkey balls.

@ Everyone - Hopefully my update with the backstory clears up a lot of your questions, yes?
@ c1337us - Thanks for those suggestions, but since (as I posted in the update) I am SO close to getting a 360 (it all comes down to finding one now), I am probably going to get every multiplatform game for the 360, since I will probably become obsessed with achievements really quickly, and will want whatever chance at them I can get. Drake though - yes, I will look into that one.
@ RetroIce4 - My avatar is a scene from the first season of Stargate Atlantis (my favorite show, probably ever - say about it what you will) - girl is a wraith who sucks life out of people through the palm of her hand, which is currently plastered to kneeling dude's chest.
@ Snail - Eastern time zone

In all honesty I'm sure it's the USPS. They are rediculous about the regulations. It seems like they make stuff up just to make my job harder/their job easier. I guess I trust UPS a bit more than I trust USPS, but I did watch a show on Nat Geo channel about the UPS superplant somewhere in the midwest. I could go on about the scale of that place, but it's possible to steal. all in all, I still trust them more than those government workers!
HEY! You've got a big box with a big black paperweight in it!!!
"Trust me. The PS3 is a much better choice. In my opinion of course. I've had both. Note the past tense HAD. This is because I no longer have the xbox. Due to it being as fragile as an egg.

Did you read the original post? There was no choice, it was sent to her by Sony...
PS TRIPLE. Congrats, and welcome to HD gaming, I just joined too :D
I'll send you a friends request next time I'm online.
girls should play the Wii.
"WHAT? Give me the hook up! Game writers unite!
Online name is Leonomnom - get to adding me bitches!
UPDATE: Ok, maybe my post was a bit too cryptic yes? YES, I still want a 360 (and tonight I earned enough at Gamestop to actually buy one, but they didn't have any Jasper Pro units in, or I definitely would have bought it). The PS3 was sent to me by Sony (read: I write video game reviews, articles, etc. for a website) - no money out of my pocket, no choosing a PS3 over a 360... I'm just a very lucky girl (see previous blog post where I received a Wii from Nintendo). Why not get a 360 from Microsoft? They unfortunately don't offer them (well, not in the same way - LONG story, just trust me), so I'm stuck buying one on my own. Clear now, yes?

To be somewhat serious, congratulations. I'm quite jealous, however. Less of it being free, more of it being I want a PS3. That just rhymed, so hook me up!

You're missing out on the great technical breaks-every-six-months-while-pretending-to-be-a-Boeing-747-Jet-Engine wonder that is the Xbox 360, ma'am. :(
