 Well...I don't hate it. August 25, 2008

I've had my ps3 for about a month now and so far I've enjoyed playing it. Graphically it's great and the overall performance of the system is good. But I did get annoyed at the fact that it takes forever just to get to play a new game. After inserting say Metal Gear Solid 4 I had to wait while the game downloaded so literally while it was it was doing that I switched over and played on my 360. My only other thought would be that the online play isn't as great but not as bad as I'd expected I just don't find it as user friendly as Xbox live oh and I don't like the fact that it doesn't come ready with a head set. I would recommend this system for gamers who aren't as interested as gaming online as it is a strong system but I'll be using mine for offline gaming ;)
 Great Buy August 24, 2008
PS3 is a must have. I originally bought this as a Blu Ray player but quickly found out that it is a great gaming system as well. I have owned the xbox 360 for 2yrs now, and have to say that the PS3 is right up there with the 360. My first 2 games on the PS3 are Drakes Fortune and Metal Gear Solid 4. I have no words to describe the gaming experience. I have not experienced this at all on the 360, especially with MGS4. If you are a true gamer and HT enthusiast, i suggest owning both the PS3 and 360. As we know if you own a 360, Halo 3 and Gears of War are the must haves for that system. For the PS3, Drakes Fortune and MGS4 are the must haves. The PS3 does a great job at upscaling regular dvd's. I own a upscaling dvd play and must say the PS3 handles upscaling far better than my original player. I won't even mention the fact that the PS3 is still the best blu ray player on the market:)
PS3 Rocks August 22, 2008
I used to own an xbox... I don't think I'll ever go back... the PS3 = Totally Ruling... doesn't crash, the blu-ray is great... just a great piece of tech.

Just a quick review. Amazing graphics if you have a 1080P HDTV for games and blu-ray movies. The standard DVD's really are upscaled to a great picture as well. So far I've played Metal Gear and its enough to merit the purchase. Look on amazon for the warehouse deals. They are sometimes 60 to 80 dollars cheaper than a new system. I got one for $323 from the warehouse deals and it works and looks like its a new system. I love it, get one if you can.
Just a Great Gaming System August 18, 2008

For me, there is no better gaming system than this. I got the spider man 3 edition of this. My main purpose for this was to get a Blu Ray player. Looking at the other choices out there for blu-ray players, this is a no brainer. you get a top notch gaming system with the latest games (such as guitar hero III and Rock Band) along with a computer to browse the net via wi-fi, and the all important Blu Ray. The added bonus is to update the firmware, you just connect via wi-fi and download it, keeping your blu ray up to date. My other alternative was the x-box 360, which i really like the game selection and set up, but they had went with HD DVD which is a dead format, so I bought hd player dirt cheap separately, and let the x-box idea go. If you want a gaming system that is currently cutting edge, and an excellent blu ray player, than look no further, great value. fyi-only the older 60gb systems and a few of the older 80gb systems paly playstation 2 games, otherwise, PS1 games work fine. Currently there is really no advantage between the 40gb and 80gb systems.
