Aliens vs. Predator – Hunter Edition

Aside from Guitar Hero 2 and Rock Band 1, I’ve never spent over $100 for a video game…well, that changed yesterday as I picked up my pre-order for Rebellion’s/SEGA’s new game Aliens vs. Predator. I got the ‘Hunter Edition’, which includes the game in a fancy steelbook case (I ♥ these), a patch, a mini-hardback comic book, a 3D lenticular, 4 exclusive multiplayer maps, AND…last, but certainly not least, a replica facehugger :D

All for the very low price of $99.99 (plus tax).

I don’t really feel the need to justify the purchase because most ‘Collectors Editions’ go for $69.99 ($10 more than regular editions) and are in a steelbook case…so I paid $30 more for the replica facehugger, and all the other goodies. Can’t really beat that. Anyway, I’ll try to post a review (full or short, we’ll see) in the next few days. You can see what the Hunter Edition looks like here (excuse the cheesiness):

Proud new owner of a PS3 Slim

Finally, after almost three years of waiting, I am finally the owner of a PS3 Slim.  Err…well, I will be.  I just got the tracking # from Sears and UPS has yet to update the site.  But I should have it no later than Tuesday.  I’ve been itching to play SOCOM: Confrontation for a couple weeks now, as well as Burnout Paradise so these next few days are going to take forever.  Thankfully I got the SOCOM bundle which included a Bluetooth headset so I’ll charge that a day before the PS3 arrives.  My HDMI cable arrived today so I believe I’m all set.  The only thing left is to decide where to put the PS3 when it gets here :)  Best of all, after 2 $50 Sears gift cards and $24 in Bing.com cashback, the total cost after tax and shipping is $205.02, AWESOME! :D

I also got an e-mail last night from Centercode that I’ll be getting the Logitech MK700  in the mail soon.  I tested this a few months back and really enjoyed it.  Aside form some minor issues in aesthetics, a good product overall.  So far this week has started off quite well.  I should hear back about a job soon too, so really, just a lot of good things happening for once, it’s nice.
