I had my father go and buy one of the MGS4 PS3's for my brother's birthday gift. [Though, I plan on using it, too.] And, well...so far, it's just been sitting, in the box, on my living room couch. My brother doesn't play MGS, so he won't get much use out of that, and we're just waiting on the cables to connect it to his HDTV [though my boyfriend offered to hook it all up for him without them.]

That's pretty much how it's been so far. xD "Yay, we got a PS3....let's just have it sit around and collect dust for a while."

I was just concerned about getting an 80 gig now, since they're discontinuing the backwards compatibility in the new models, and I don't want to have to use my PS2 every time I want to play a PS2 game.

Mine was unfortunately delivered the day that I was moving flat, so I got hardly any play out of it on the first few days, but I do recall losing a good three or so weeks to Virtua Fighter 5 afterwards, so it couldn't have been all bad.

It was annoying to update the firmware at first so I could have more backward compatibility, since our flat didn't have a router...<_<

Made it fiddly and irritating at first but I was happy enough since I had a good fighting game on hand.

Well...I Love my PS3, I love the wireless control especially, I also love that it doesn't use a damn point system, when you want to buy a game. The Microsoft point system is designed so that when you buy something you have useless points left over >.>(note im not saying it sucks).

But yeah the lack of games is something not to worry about, I can't wait for Final Fantasy XIII which is PS3 exclusive I think?

I agree that there aren't many games out for the system. I bought it for MGS4 though...very much worth it, one of the greatest games ever. I'd recommend that.
I'm guessing that since your on a FF forum you like RPG's. There's an 'somewhat' RPG game called Folklore, that's worth a look...I liked it at least, but maybe that's because of the lack of RPG's on the system I was willing to accept anything. I'd still recommend it though.
I LOVED Elder Scrolls, was a great game but its easy to overdo yourself on it and grow tired. There is a way to pretty much make yourself invincible...I got to the point where I couldn't die or be seen and therefore I grew tired of it.
Dunno, if your into GTA games, GTAIV is worth a rent...gets boring quickly though, thats why I just say a rent.

Well, when i bough mine, it cames with Resistence. So, as soon as i connect it to my TV i found a well made game, with an amazing online. So, i could say that i was pretty much satisfied with mine.

Then, by an unknown 'cause my PC die that day, and then i use the PS3 browser to read some pages and download music and play it. It was a pretty good first-impression =P

"Man...now I really wish I had Versus XIII."

"Oooooh, I can see myself in this thing. Shiny!"

"How do I turn this damn thing on? Oh! The buttons are touch activated!"

"If this thing breaks down like all the 360s tend to do, I'm gonna shit a brick."

"Once I beat Resistance and Ratchet & Clank, I wonder if this thing'll do much else than collect dust and cast shadows."

"Why's this damn USB cord so short!? I want to keep playing while charging my controller, but I don't want to sit a foot from the television."

Stuff like that.

Oh men!! That makes me roll over the floor!! xD

I own 360 and until now it hasn't give me any problem; but some friends goes for the 5th or 6th repair/replace.
