There comes a point in every family where they ask themselves if they are ready to expand. There are a lot of factors to consider when adding a new member to your household. The financial burden alone is enough to detour people from adding one more to their family but those that decide to take the risk often find that the love one gets in return is well worth every penny.
My family has been thinking about expanding for quite some time now. We weighed the pros and cons and decided the time was just right. Through this experience we learned a lot about the right way to bring home your new bundle of joy and introduce him or her to the other members of your family.

It's important to bond with the new addition as soon as possible. Letting him or her know how much love and acceptance is in your family. We personally decided to adopt and found it especially important to establish a relationship with him before we announced his arrival to the rest of the family.

Once you two are completely comfortable with each other it's time to slowly introduce him or her to the rest of the household. Don't expect immediate results but soon everyone will be getting along great. I recommend starting off with a simple board game or book reading to let each other know that nothing has changed, just gotten better.

We adopted little Onix from a Gamestop in Santa Clarita. We went to several agencies looking for the right addition to our family, Wal*Mart and Target were sold out of orphans. He was the last Metal Gear Sold 80gig bundle left. So I am now the proud owner/mother of a Sony 80gig PS3, with backwards compatibility, dual shock controllers, and a mess of games. My Xbox's Chip and Fifel Jr. and our Wii, Wiinie, are thrilled to have a new friend on the shelf.

You are such a dork and I love it lol I need to get my PS3 now!! Grr..I can't find a MGS Bundle =[
ALINKS OMITTED it's so cute.
aww it's so cute.
o im sorry you had a typo
i think you said "My Xbox's Chip and Fifel jr."
its supposed to be "My best friend's Xbox Chip and my Xbox Fifel Jr."
its ok we all make mistakes
I MISS YOU CHIP!!
It goes well with your entertainment set, its all black =) Welcome to the sony life. =) mgs4 and Little big planet,socom, and much more its gonna be GREAT!!
PlayStation 3 will be good for the future due to its POWER and its blu-ray thing already there is talk that the game RAGE will have to come in 3discs for the xbox360 or be tuned down
Did you know that the PlayStation 3 on standby uses more power than you average fridge or plasma tv due to its GPU and CPU
well whats the point commenting now i guess....nobody is gonna read it meh i'm gonna go buy DIRt while i wait for this months game Merc 2: WIF
Congrats on a system that will live longer than a goldfish.
First the 360 and Ps3 will both join together to kill the Wii. T
he wii will stand no chance even if it were vs one on one next the friendship between 360 and ps3 will split.
Then there will be all out war between Ps3 and 360. Warning you must keep the console separate from each other.
Its like hooking up and mac to a PC with a usb cable, i know from experience it does end well (my XPS hurt my cousins macbook quite badly)
"Wal*Mart and Target were sold out of orphans" lol
I think you will be happy with your decision.
LOL!!! loved the pics. Congrats!
lol, I'll adopt one maybe as my Christmas present...
WOW ur gay. AND u named all ur systems??? U__U GAWD ur so gay. (i was posting as i read more). i think what would really blow my mind would be if u mentioned u did these things 4 each system as u got them. when socom or motorstorm 2 or RFOM2 or LBP hits (pretty much any big exclusive), we should play. i got COD4, UT3, R6V2, R6V2, GH3, Orange Box, GTA4, RFOM, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Warhawk, Gran Torismo Prolgue 5, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, and MGS4. socom69
Miz_Calamity, they were only making those bundles for a limited time (to limited stores at a limited amount) so you could always check Ebay [or as I call it, "god"]! Other than that, good luck finding one.
Welcome aboard. Havin' both da 360 & PS3 is da way ta go.
lolo!
why play with a weegee board when spongbob is on?
@GeneralGamePlayer- I know they were lol I'll probably just wait till they bring in the new PS3 or whenever they make the 80 GIG like the 40. Who knows..I gotta save money for E for All now so PS3 has to wait again anyway. But thank you anyway =]
hey nikole! i have a ps3 as well, my PSN is my name.
Actually keep checking in with your local gamestop. Even though they are suppose to be limited. they have still been sending them to gamestops.
Holy crap... that chick is cute! Stupid article though, I mean the what hell, doing all those activities with a video game system... you gonna strap a vibrator around that PS3 and make love to it next or what?
@AGS-
exaggeration ftw!
fail.
um..that was directed at AGS.
the article was great.
congrats on your new addition.
i just know strobe has THE gayest psn tag in existence and AGS spends too much time @ gamegirl w/ his door closed and his pointer and middle fingers in his butt.
@Ladyluck, ya know WHAT lady???? maybe ur just full of luck w/ MGS4 ps3 bundle shipments. we cant all be as fn lucky as u so chill the 6th letter of the alphabet out
and if any1 is unfamiliar w/ my sarcasm, u can firmly place ur lips on my right cheek and kiss it. my left 1 is reserved 4 ppl i actually know/ like so do NOT touch that 1
If you havn't yet picked up Uncharted: Drake's Fortune I suggest doing so. It's one of the best games on the PS3.
@sonyboy69
chill out, they not even gonna come back to this topic and read the comments anyway why waste your time, hell why do i waste my time...oh yeah i have nothing else to do...i seriously mean NOTHING!!!
@sonyboy69
f i forgot to add...
Sarcasm aside you think that the mgs4 review ever be done by the game girls although everybody knows that the game is awesome anyway (sorry some know)
"Did you know that the PlayStation 3 on standby uses more power than you average fridge or plasma tv due to its GPU and CPU"
What?!
anyway i just know that you need to download "pixeljunk eden" and "siren"! and remember to buy "Ratchet & Clank", "Uncharted", "Ninja Gaiden Sigma", "Heavenly Sword" and don't skip the MGS4 cut-scenes.
@Gue1 its true dude look at the power consumption reviews
just go to Google type in [PlayStation 3 power consumption]
then go to the link with PC Authority or any other website
actually the space in between his left and right cheek is for those he know's and likes....Aw!!Good for you.I only got my Wii,Tifanny..lol..I'm working my way to get ALL THREE!!!Hopefull I will.:)
@SonyBoy69- breath lol
@Klasco- I still come to read comments on articles just to see what you guys have to say lol Also the full review for MGS4 is still pending. NuyoRiquena is the one doing that so its all up to her whenever it gets posted.
@AGS- How did I know you would turn it somewhat sexual?
There are still MGS PS3's all over here. In fact, I just saw one 2 days ago at the Sony store and about a week ago at Target.
@Miz_Calamity
dam...now i have to take that back...sorta
....the gamegirls don't read comments after a certain amount of time besides Miz_Calamity lol
@klasco - actually I read them as well. I just don't always add to the comments afterwards.
dam and Ladyluck
lol its good to see who watching
...fine i take it back (i feel so pwned just like when i vs a pro South Korean at Starcraft)
OMFG......Miz_Calamity, YOU chill the fuck out, shut the hellokitty up and "breath". klasco, the MGS4 review will NOT be done. see as a fellow person of non whiteness and non asianess, Nuyo falls under the catagory of "colored ppl". more specifically, a latino. and as a person of colore, she is on CP time (self explanatory). thats just an excepted thing in non white/ asian culture. Ladyluck, u wont add another comment.....no balls! (well ovaries 4 u)
Weel, im latre as alwys but here it goes, Congratulations NIKOLE, that was definitely a nice purchase, have fun.
Some of you are simply incapable of posting an intelligent comment that isn't riddled with cuss words and insults. Bravo.
@Nikole their hasn't been a intelligent comment on the internet since the hardcore nerds/geeks and hackers who were the only people on the internet were kicked off and had to go underground while the mainstream took over the internet....that and people are pretty bored these days not much to do (i'm not sure if your comment was referring to me or sonyboy69 or AGS or all)
@Sonyboy69
well this site is a blog site really than a gaming review site like gamespot, game spy and 1up etc.
...and i don't think other people understand your sarcasm or is it just bagging people out.
but lol "shut the hello kitty up"
@Scarecrow_Zero
you are most likely the nicest person on this site or the internet...a big rarity these days
@AGS
you don't have a girl friend do you
What? i cant find that PS3 anywhere you have so much luck, enjoy your PS3 and snake as well, LOL so funny article I'm glad you let us know you well and your excellent humor.
Hey make sure to Preorder SOCOM and LBP so you can get the KRATOS sackboy. I really want a Solid Snake sack boy tho
@ klasco, i think Nikole was talkn about me lol i think the CP time thing got under her skin. i THINK she missed the point where i said i was of color (black)
tho i could understand how she missed the point. or it coulda been the part where i called her gay 4 naming her systems lol (b/c that is SO normal). i DID make fun of AGS too tho and said he puts his fingers in his buthole while hes on here lmao. o fuck it, she is DEFINITELY talking about me. in a nutshell tho, i have successfully pissed of bunnyXablaze, Navie and now Nikole..............ya know what tho, everything balances out w/ that "Sean Alaxander's kids would feel embarrassed and awkward that their dad decided to save himself 4 marriage" comment.@sonyboy69
most very very likely yes
you are so freakin' hilarious Nikole ^_^ <3
