Not entirely unexpected, but...

I wandered into Tesco earlier, intending to restock the empty fridge. Somehow, I ended up wandering down the video games aisle and glancing at the PS3 games.

Prince of Persia.
Resistance 2.
Tomb Raider: Underworld.

"Hmm", I thought, "I'm getting a bit behind with my gaming - still working my way through GTA IV and Bioshock; haven't even started Fallout 3 yet, and here are three games I was really looking forward to..."

And then I wandered off. An aisle or two later, I idly wondered if this meant that I'd improved my willpower, or just that I wasn't entirely feeling well...?

Ten minutes after that, I reached the checkout and realised that a copy of Tomb Raider was in my basket. Once I noticed it, I did remember putting it there - but I'd blanked it completely in the interval, once it was safely hidden under the multiseed bagels and cavolo nero...

Ooops.

thanks!
Yeah, i think the fact that it is a blu-tay player and already has built in wireless is a big selling point. Shame the new PS3 doesn't have PS" backward compatability but that's a minor point.
Just gotta find me a bargain now :)

The backwards compatibility wasn't flawless anyway - mostly, it's fine, but I have a few PS2 favourites (e.g. SSX) that it just can't cope with. I'm not entirely sure, but I think there are a couple of minor graphics quirks on other games (PS Tomb Raider, PS2 FInal Fantasy X), too.
