Five ways to tell your dad you hate him (by buying him a Sony PS3)

Trash Fashion

Somebody at PC World has been smoking the reefer:

If you thought the PS3 was dead in the water, it might be time to reconsider that assumption. We've had a chance to re-look at the PS3, and now feel that while Sony might not be king of the hill just yet, they're at least back on the mountain ready to take on the other two contenders. Here are five reasons we think you should take another look at the PS3 if you're a home gaming console fan. While others are scrambling to still find Nintendo Wii systems for Father's Day, you can march in and grab a PS3 right off the shelf and know that you may have just gotten a better gift.

[From Five Reasons to Get Dad a PS3]


Why the hell would you get your dad a PS3 instead of a Wii? And you dare list affordability? Are you shitting me? Buying him a 360 shows him how much you really care about him (even better if you get him a decent sound system and no less than a 32" HDTV to go with it). If you really love him, you would have scoured town until you found the damn Wii.

Hopefully with Mario Kart and an extra wheel.

Giving him the PS3 is as transparent as when AJ Soprano gave Carmela Soprano a Matrix DVD as a gift. You are hoping he will get bored of it in a week, after which it can be conveniently transferred to YOUR rig.

when I visited my dad today, I brought the Wii and mariokart.

I probably should have let him win at least one race.
