PS3 Near future i thinks so!

Ok funds are limited so far, and i know the PS3 (160gb) is roughly 299.99. And as any obvious gamer i want the most BANG for my buck. The following are just some questions i have and would like an opinion on.....

1. Whats the deal with Refurbished systems?....Like i know they are "pre-owned" and all that jazz but i see game stop has a Sony Refurbished PS3 (250gb) for $279.99.....Should i even go this route?
2. Have any of the Boys purchased any gaming merchandise online?... and if so would they suggest a site for me.
3. Finally, im considering two "Bundle" packages...... Sony PS3 Starter Bundle (comes with ps3 160gb (my choice of with or without MW3) and a choice of one game for a list of 42) for about $329.99 ..........OR PS3 Greatest hits bundle same as above with a choice of one Greatest hits game(Killzone 2, MAG, God of War collection) and choice of game ( Ghostbusters, WWE legends of Wrestlemania, IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of pray) for $319.99

Time lapse of the tornado warned storm that went over Topeka Ks. Shot by my boys from TornadoVideos.net!

EPIC FAIL!

So, this goes out to my boy Ross!
I've seen some epic fails bef0re but in the fishing world this takes the cake! Below is an article written and owned by gofishin.com but i have to show this fail!

We're not sure if fishing in camouflage really gives you an edge on the water. But if that's what helped Jackson Knoll catch this monster steelhead, a Moldy Chum "Slab of the Month" entry, we could be new believers of Fishouflage.

We're all for experimentation with fish camo, but this is a bit much.

For anyone who don't know this is a RAINBOW TROUT and NOT a STEELHEAD!!!
SOOO FAAAILL!!!!

PSVITA

Ok, Sony's E3 press conference just wrapped up and it was a good show. The #1 thing announced tonight was NGP now known as PSVITA information. There are over 80 titles in development for PSVITA which will be launching at the end of this year (I know what I'm getting for Christmas) including the likes of Uncharted, Wipeout, Modnation Racers, Little Big Planet, Street Fighter X Tekken and a new Bioshock title. All of which looked great and cant wait to play. I was super excited to hear that there will be two SKU's at launch, a $249 WiFi only model and a $299 3G + WiFi model with 3G data being provided exclusively by ATT which I have no problem with since i dont live in New York or San Fransisco where ATT service is apparently bad. All in all it looks like the 3DS is gonna have some well armed competition by years end and that this guy is gonna have a new gaming device, Sweet!
