Hi video game players! 
	Well, as I posted a few weeks ago (where has the time gone?) I said I 
will be getting my Sony PlayStation. I've been waiting for a while and 
finally got it! :) You can't tell how happy I was. I got mine directly 
imported from Japan for a considerably good price. If I had to buy it 
from another crummy import store, I wouldn't have bought it at all 
(Diehard, hint...hint). I recieved it yesterday (Tuesday) February 21st, I 
thought I would have to wait until (Friday) February 24th. So it came as 
a big supprize for me to get it yesterday. Of course I was extremly 
excited to get home and rip open the package. 

	I arrived at home and ran for the PlayStation. I picked up the 
box and found it was VERY light (as well as a very small box!). It's 
about 1/2 the weight of the 3DO (or 1/4). My first thought was, "What's 
missing??" I imediatly ripped open the box and found that everything was 
there (2 controlers, TohShinDen, 1 PlayStation). First I ripped open the 
bag for a controler and put my hands around it....PERFECT! It takes some 
getting used to (the place of the buttons and design of the control), but 
once your used to it...Your in gaming heaven.  The system and controler 
is very compact, sleek and sexy. The CDs are very intersting and match 
the the system and controler in being sleek and sexy, they have pitch 
black bottoms wich is really cool looking! The system and controlers look 
very high-tech to boot (which of course they are). I then hooked up the 
system fairly easily to my brand spankin' new Sony KV-20TS32 with SVIDEO, 
stereo the works... (a great TV allaround, also for a great price! if you 
want a 20' TV for video games look for this at a Good Guys near you). 

	 First I plugged in my Ridge Racer CD that I pre-purchased. I 
played RidgeRacer and my roomates began to gather around my TV... Soon 
everyone was yelling and screaming to watch out for a wall, speed up, 
slow down! Even the people who don't like video games were enthused. 
Everyone then was asking for there turns at RidgeRacer. Once they played 
they seemed in a trance, :) It was great. I then plugged in TohShinDen to 
see my dreams come true. TohShinDen was all I wanted and more, I had been 
dreaming about having it ever since I got a video of direct footage of 
it. I played Vs. Human mode with my bro for a while...to say the least, 
WE HAD A BLAST! Once used to the controler, we found it to be amazing for 
this fighting game and RidgeRacer. We got used to it's gameplay withen 
minutes (of course we changed the options of doing special moves by the 
touch of a button to just rolling). TohShinDen is the BEST fighting game 
in history (Yep, including against VF & VF2). I loved it, my brother 
loved it. It is AMAZING. Whoever says it lacks in gameplay...NO WAY, it 
rocks in all aspects. I especially liked the Gameplay, graphics, music, 
moves EVERYTHING. OVERALL we enjoy playing TohShinDen more than 
RidgeRacer. 

	I am proud with my purchase of the Sony PlayStation. It is by far 
the favorite game system I have ever played...and to think these are only 
the first batch of games! This machine has to be seen to be believed...
