I dont know why the PS3 has received so much flak around here. I got one as a gift last Christmas from my folks and its the most kickass gaming console I ve ever laid my hands on.

My PS3 is a 60GB one. They got it because the shop-owner told em that the 60GB version handled backward compatibility with the PS2 and the PSX much better, while the 80GB one had built-in emulators for playing PS2 and PSX games...which could be a problem with some games (emulators cant play all games anyway).

I have played Motorstorm with it and the graphics and sound are impressive as heck. Since then I have got NFS: Carbon and Call of Duty 3 for it, and I was more than impressed with both of em. CoD 3's stunning visuals and technically enhanced sound will blow the brains off anyone sitting in front of the screen!

It came with a 2GB Memory Card which is more than sufficient to save game progress. I have watched some Blu-Ray titles on it and it plays them pretty smoothly. I noticed Blu-Ray disks are not much different than digitally encoded DVDs, although I m told that the difference is more apparent if you have a high resolution digital TV. Maybe our 29" isnt technically good enough to discern quality between a Blu-Ray and a DVD.

Its a kickass console, and it beats the pants off the XBox 360 and the Nintendo Wii! Too bad that the negative rumors circulating around have affected the sales of this machine...else it can be compared to a shiny, new superfast Ferrari among all the Chevys out there.:cool:

No probs yet, Cheebs. I ll be sure to drop you a PM if I come across any trouble or glitches. But into the 10th month of having the PS3, and I am totally satisfied with the Sony console par excellence.:)
