Just 3 more weeks till Christmas. If you know a games fanatic, consider a Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3).

Not only can you play games like Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin’s Creed II, the PS3 is still one of the cheapest Blu-Ray players in the market.

Here’s what you get with the new PS3 slim :

* HDMI + Bravia Sync functionality that provides both 1080p output resolution, and instant in-synch connectivity between your PS3 and other Sony HDMI enabled products without the use of multiple remote controls.
* A new 33% slimmer, 36% lighter PlayStation 3 entertainment system that is also more energy efficient.
* Includes a Dualshock 3 wireless controller and a built-in 120GB (or 250GB) HDD for storing games, music, videos, and photos.
* Built-in Wi-Fi for connectivity anywhere and multiple media format compatibility, including Blu-ray for crystal clear video on High-Definition TVs, CD-ROM, DVD, and others.
* Free membership and access to all the events, as well as game, movie, TV and other media content available on the PlayStation Network.

You can get the 120GB PS3 for $300, and the 250GB one for just $50 more.

Goodbye 2008 … it was a so-so year for movies, and also a not so good year for TV series. The writer’s strike affected a few good TV shows. Some shows lost momentum (Heroes), others we hear got back on track (Lost). We look forward to 2009, if for nothing else than for Watchmen!

Have a good one, and see you on the other side.

The team at NovaScene would like to wish you and your family Merry Christmas. Stay safe for the holidays … we’ll spend it watching downloaded TV shows and movies (as well as playing games). How about you?
