Teen Opens PLAYSTATION 3, Finds Phone Book Instead

The Holidays have just passed and many of us has received a PLAYSTATION 3 for the big present of the day. The same happened with 13 year old Brandon Burns. He received a PLAYSTATION 3 like many of us, but when he opened it up, instead of finding his console, he found a phone book sealed inside.

He laughed when it happened, but his parents were not happy, considering they bought the $500 80GB version of the console. According to a spokesperson for the store involved, the matter has since been resolved.

Imagine that.

Portal Gets Rebuilt Lego Style

We all knew Portal was going to be a great game, but I don't think we've ever though it would get this much reception. Whether it was cake jokes, to companion cubes, to now Legos.

The crafty Lego makers over at Brickshelf constructed this concoction. Lego Portal. It doesn't get any better.... or does it.

PLAYSTATION Network Cards Already For Sale

Give us a hint if any of you have spotted the PLAYSTATION Network cards in stores yet. Kotaku member Aerofox has. He's found them already for sale in stores on the US Army base in Aberdeen, Maryland.

So much for early 2008. But I wouldn't be complaining. I'm going to head down to the store later today and see if I can find me one.
