Order Status...

Good evening video game fans!

Just a quick update this evening on when some new reviews will be posted.

First of all, as mentioned in the October 7th update, I was notified that I should receive my PS2 at launch. However, the site that I ordered it from (I'll leave it un-named for now, but let's just say it's a well known game retailer) has shut down its phone support and put up a constantly full voice mail box instead. The message claims that this is due to a recent increase in call volume. I have e-mailed them as well as leaving a phone message, but the bottom line is that I cannot, at the moment, confirm when my system will arrive.

Assuming, my PS2 and memory card arrive on or before Friday, I plan to spend a few days playing Ridge Racer V, trying out a few enhanced PS1 games and watching DVDs to test out the new system. Then sometime around Tuesday or Wednesday of next week I'll post a review of the system (and RR5) with all the highlights. 

Meanwhile, I have just confirmed that I should receive my copy of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask in just a few days. Since this is likely going to be a very engrossing gaming experience, I'm planning to hold off on reviewing it until I've spent at least a day or two playing with my PS2 (if it arrives). So early next week will likely be the soonest that I'll really get to sit down with Link's latest adventure. I'll try to post my review on the game by the end of next week.

So that's where the site stands for now. It all depends on when or if Sony's fancy little black box shows up at my door.
