I got three items in the mail from Amazon today.
First, I got a 13 month Xbox Live subscription card on the cheap. Now I can finally watch movies via Netflix streaming again! Woo-hoo! Also, this preps me for beating the shit out of everyone in Street Fighter IV... Just kidding, I'm a total scrub.
Secondly, I got a pair of RealTriggers for my PS3 controller. It works as advertised by making the PS3 controller suck less by giving it proper triggers. I don't know why Sony messed with the L2 and R2 triggers from the PS2 controller. They weren't great, but they where a hell of a lot better/more comfortable than what they have on the Sixaxis/DualShock 3. Now, if they would just wise up and put the left analog stick in the right place... Making it more ergonomic would be nice too.
And finally, I got a pair of KOSS KSC75 headphones. I hate, hate, hate my Apple earbuds and I wanted a clip-on style of headphones since I'm not too crazy about inner ear stuff (which is also far more expensive) and walking around with giant cans is for dorks. Websites like HeadRoom and Head-Fi have praised these up and down as the best thing you could possibly spend $16 on. Maybe later on I'll get something more "serious," but right now I wanted something that I would feel comfortable walking around campus in. Although they are ugly as sin... Not very discrete either... But hey, they sound pretty good. Plus there's bass, which the Apple earbuds did not have.
So what's next on the docket? I thought about purchasing Persona 3: FES and Persona 4 before they become too rare. I hear great things about these games, and although playing pretty much any PS2 game now makes me loathe to even glance at my TV, I think I should give them a shot. Also, owning Final Fantasy XII might be a good idea. I give it a bit of a hard time, but I do think that it's a very good game that unfortunately comes out half-baked in the story department.
