• Sony Card

  So I got this invitation to get a Sony charge card.  I almost threw it away with the other cc offers that I get every other day.  But, I hesitated and looked, and hmm, very interesting.  I could purchase anything with it and they would credit me with $100 if I made a $299 purchase within the first month.  Also, any purchases that I make within 45 days of receiving the card has no interest rate for 2008.  When I do have an interest rate, it will be 9.9%.  Wow!   I start figuring that a PS3 would be around $500 (the 80gig HD model), and that it would be $100 off, and have no interest for the first year, which means that I could pay around $42/month and it would be paid off.  Then there was the awards program that got 1 point for every dollar spent, but it got 3 points for every dollar spent on a Sony item, and 5 points for every dollar if the purchase was from a Sony dealer (or SonyStyle.com).  Hmm, more thinking and I say, "Why not?"

  Generally speaking, I think new credit cards usually come in with a $300 to $500 credit limit.  I was shocked at the credit limit, especially since it was 4 places and well over half way to 5 places.    Next thing to do was to go to SonyStyle.com and check out the PS3.  While I was checking out the PS3, you know my sons would really enjoy it, I noticed that they had free shipping and it was guaranteed to be here by December 24th.  You guessed it.
  
  A Knock on the Door

  This morning, really early for FedEx at my house, I heard the truck door closed and the door bell rang.  Since I was indisposed, my youngest son answered the door.  When I came into the front room, I told him and the oldest son that I heard the truck, and the doorbell, and where in the world is IT?!  My youngest was going to act like nothing happened, but being a gaming console nut, he couldn't and he pulled it into sight.  Five minutes later and he's hooking it up to the TV.  My oldest and I run out and get a nutritious Mickey Dee's breakfast.  When we get back, he has it all set up, with one log in and it's ready to play.  Unfortunately, he has to go to work.  Ba bye?

  Since my oldest son was cooking and baking, he didn't have time to play.   I guess I'll have to try out the game that came with it by myself.  And I did.

  Impressive

  The pre-playing introduction for the game, Motor Storm, looked like a movie.  Maybe it was a movie.  But the graphics for the game are fantastic.  Awesome, nonetheless!  I'm impressed with the graphics, the play, the whole thing.  Plus, it's better than our DVD player since it will play HD DVDs.  BlueRay!  Cool.  Sorry, trying not to act like a little boy with a new toy even though I might resemble all but the "little". 

  The News

  Still don't know how to tell my Hunni that I took advantage of this extremely good offer.   I don't purchase much stuff, of that magnitude anyway, without telling her.  But this just happen to happen kinda' at the spur of the moment...and...
  
  The FogWalker goes to play the game while she's gone....the mice play when the cat's away...
