Thank you 124,

only thing is, I'd become a Playstation 3 widow.

I can't beleive it, hubby's become a Playstation 3 JUNKIE.
I downloaded Socom for him & finally talked him ( after 3 years of playing on his own) into giving playing online a shot.
Within a week he had a headset, he's taken over our 60 inch tv which luckily splits into 2 screens.
He's got 3 feet of it & I get to watch 12 inches in the corner.
I get the tv volume, he has the headphones. Hard to tell who he's talking to at times, me, or his new found buddies.
It's brilliant. He finally understands how someone can get addicted to a hobby. haa haa
