 The 60GB PS3 Console November 21, 2008
Had my Playstation 3 from another company had a couple years warranty just in case anything happened to it.
It broke down 13 months after i had first bought the console and after looking at numerous forums i knew that the hard drive had gone down and i would have to stump up 160 to get it mended so i am glad i did have that extra 2 years warranty
So i would have to give people a nudge in the way that if you can have an extra couple of years warranty on it i would do so
 Fun whilst it lasted - 18 months! November 10, 2008
As a PS and PS2 owner I awaited the PS3 with great anticipation. Compared to the PS2 it's brilliant, hooks straight onto the wireless router, download demos, great graphics, etc. One major drawback, the PS1 was still running when I gave it to a friend, must have been four years old then, the PS2 is still running seven years later, the PS3 18 months later...dead!
Given that it cost over double what I paid for my PS2 and that it appears to be much more delicate, it has been treated far more gently. The PS2 was often packed into a bag to take to a friends for a Buzz-fest, it's been through several house moves and late night Gran Turismo sessions with friends. As well as completing all Gran Turismos. The PS3 just stays in a nice safe spot, well ventilated, under the television, as protected from dust as is possible. Being much older and busier now, the PS3 is much more lightly used! Tried to turn it on yesterday when I noticed that the television was making a humming noise when on that scart input, totally dead, no lights, no anything. One must assume that it is the power supply that has died. Given that it has been plugged into the same sockets and position that the old PS2 was for two and a half years at this house, to only last eighteen months is frankly disgusting. At 425, that makes it 23.60 a month, even if the PS2 packed in now, after seven years that would only be 2.38 a month. The PS3 is far poorer value!
I think I might try an Xbox 360, at least they are cheaper to replace!

This console is a feat of engineering but it suffers due to its lackluster game selection and second rate online service.The only real exclusive on the ps3 is metal gear 4, which is strongly rumoured to be hitting the xbox 360 in 2009,Gran Turismo? no thanks ive got project gotham and forza motorsport...buy a 360
 List my music the way I want it!!!! October 20, 2008
Gotta love the PS3. I've owned the original 60Gb console from day one. The single most annoying thing is that the music will not list by artist and then albumn.
This is really cracking me up. You can list by albumn, but seriously, how many people remember albumn names.
Sort it out SONY.
 ps3's rule!!!!!!!! October 4, 2008
This machine has become part of my life! There is so much I could say about it but i'm not going to, the list is endless!
Yes, the xbox 360 is good but this just totally kills it!
It is so much better looking and the games are brilliant!
playstation network is awesome and downloads keep appearing and appearing! get this machine for gods sake!
