Discussion Topic For Episode 76 - What Should My Brother-In-Law Buy

Hey guys, a good one for this week, and a way to help someone out. My Brother-In-Law Alex has gotten permission to buy a PS3 from my sister, basically she is going to let him save his money from the one day a week that he works for my father on his farm, and use that money for a PS3. Now as we all know, what is the point of getting a system if you have nothing to play on it, and no accessories to make it better?

After he told me about this development I instantly thought of this topic, positing that he is going to have the system and $120 extra to spend, what would you tell him to buy? I will give you a rough time frame, figure he will be able to get the system within the next six weeks, and just so you know he has bought a fair number of the recent multiplatform titles on his 360, including MW2. Your answer can be two games, or downloadable titles, classic, platform exclusives that you don’t think he should miss, or accessories that you think every PS3 owner should have. I will give you one other rule, he will already be getting an HDMI cable, so don’t feel like you have to include that in your list. Get it to us by next Saturday night, and your contributions will go into my summary. Have a great week, hope everyone is able to play some games, and I will see you next Friday for CGN.

Demon's Souls, MGS4, a $20 psn card to buy MGS1 and Critter Crunch. He will never have to buy anything again, ever.

. He definitely need to get a mic. And if he really wants to make his money go further, tell him to buy the "END WAR" PS Official headset bundle on ebay. it's like 37.99 w/ free S&H. When the box comes, take the game out and go to Walmart. The game is individually wrapped so they will take it back without receipt. It is worth 29.99 on the return plus applicable tax. His Official headset will cost him about 6 bucks. CACHING!!! BEER Money!!

the wisest thing to do would be to take that $120 US dollars and swap it for $129.07 AU dollars.
then go to my local EB store and buy a copy of any new release title for the RRP of $119.
then go back home and live the rest of your life free from the 'purchase guilt' of a USD $60 game.

then go buy a HDMI cable with the remaining $10.07

then PM theplaystationshowpodcast and tell them that the trophy watch, sorry trophy mention... is a bad idea...

or maybe just buy these pimped out jimmy choo's! http://www.loutouyin.ru/products.asp?id=380

an optical cable to enjoy the goosebumps of surround sound (if his receiver is as cheap as mine and doesnt accept audio through an hdmi cable)
everything else has been mentioned
definitely a mic, keypad, U2,
preorder gt5!
and a $20 psn card to the best bsmith profile on the giantbomb

I like this idea. BSmith get your brother-in-law to donate a $20 PSN card from his Christmas money so we can get more BSmith accounts made. It's for the betterment of The PlayStation Show, he'll understand.

make sure that he doesnt spend a lot of money on a hdmi cable, amazon sells them for cheap, he doesnt need a $30-$60 cable from best buy

I am already locking him down on the cheap HDMI. I wash my hands of these horror show $20 PSN cards for Giant Bomb adventurisms.
