    Playstation 3 owners. Check in.
    I bought my 80GB system about 3 weeks ago. It came with Motorstorm, and I also bought Transformers (for the kid) and picked up Call of Duty 4 last week.

    I have 2 Blu-Ray movies and they look amazing. Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Meet the Robinsons. I still need to send off for the 5 free Blu-Rays that you get with a Blu-Ray player purchase.

    I like the fact that you don't have to pay a fee to play online, just a broadband connection, that most everyone already has. Plus it has a internet browser you can get and surf the web on.

    The 80GB unit also has a Memory Stick/SD/MiniSD/Compact Flash card reader on it. So you can pop in the media card from your camera and upload the pictures to your PS3. It also has 4 USB ports.

    Since it has bluetooth, you can add a bluetooth keyboard to use while on the internet. I like the fact the game controllers are bluetooth, so no cords.


    Any games you suggest to pick up?

    Any upcoming games you are looking forward to?

    I was thinking about picking one up. One store had'em for $350. Fairly cheap by comparison, huh?

      I've read some crappy reviews on games I like to play, like Madden. I have a nice video card on my computer so I didn't see any reason to switch over.

              How well did the dvd player work for you? My brother in-law had to return his because the system would crash halfway through a movie.

                i've been debating getting one, i've heard about a bunch of problems with them. but about the games, when i do get one , the first i would get for me, is the new Ratchet and Clank game, i got all 3 from PS2, i loved those games. i've always liked platform games. i've never been good at the war games or first-person shooting games. i like cartoonish games where you go from level to level and fight bosses and collect more weapons along the way. i have all 3 of the Jax games also. i don't know there just fun to me.

                  Worked like a charm. Blu-Rays and regular DVDs.

                  Was it one of the older systems?

                    The graphics compare.

                    But remember, the PS3 displays the games in 1080p. I use to be a gamer on the PC, but I move strictly to laptop for now and really don't want to fill it up with games.

                    If you do buy one, I would suggest Circuit City. Because they give a warranty option. 2 years, but its better then the rest, which offer none.

                      It was a newer generation model. He bought it like six weeks ago. He ended up going with the XBOX 360 instead.

                        80GB or 60GB? I know they phased out the 60's. They are going with the 80GB and 40GB's.

                        I haven't had one problem yet.

                          I think more hardcore gamers go with xbox and of course pc

                          I play tiger woods on pc and I think it is better than any console

                              I know it, it has a removable hard drive that you can upgrade. If I ever fill up the 80GB, then I will look into upgrading it.

                                      also get nba2k8 if you're into basketball.

                                        I always get an urge around Christmas to regress and buy the latest console. I was a video game junkie for so long, and still play occasionally on PC. The last time I'd seen playstation graphics though I wasn't impressed at all.

                                        The one reason I'm considering this is because if its designed to match a resolution of my HDTV, then that's pretty cool, and I'd like to get some more use out of my TV. The Blu-ray stuff sounds cool too.

                                            The game I mostly play online is Call of Duty 4. I haven't bought any sports games yet, but you can't go wrong with any of the EA games. I do however got Need for Speed: Pro Street, I just haven't played online yet.

                                            Anyone out there that plays COD4? If so, what is your handle on there?

                                              Call of Duty 4 is sick. I'm on the 360 though. What a great game.

                                                  No console systems can beat my computer setups, I'm telling ya.

                                                  Graphic is better, sound is awesome, with a 24 in Samsung LCD or hook it up to my HDTV, it blows them out.

                                                  it's expensive, but you need the pc anyway.

                                                        360 is better for gaming

                                                        PC compared to consoles=very little diffeence and pc plays faster

                                                        Compare like Tiger Woods on console to PC and the PC version is faster.

                                                          Good analysis JJ. There's a reason every time u see the ps3 marketed, it's marketed as a "blu ray" player instead of a gaming console

                                                                  Madden is always good, but to tell you the truth, this years Madden is kind of weak compared to last years.

                                                                  I've heard assasins creed and warhawk are good.
