PS3? Good, bad, or indifferent?

[ashleo78]

I have a PS3. I bought mine back from a trip to the states at Christmas, and I must say I do prefer it to the PS2 and XBOX 360.

Paid just over $1000 for a 60GB system (which uou can upgrade), 5 games and a spare controller. At the time the conversion rate wasn't too bad for us brits so all in all cost me roughly £550. Best thing I've found is that the games are region free, so even if you decide to buy one you dont have to pay the ridiculous £45+ price tag for UK games, search online instead for a decent importer of US and Japanese games. Failing that, try good old Ebay for some nice bargains. And yes it has a universal power suipply inside thatcan handle 240v and wont make you big black shiny box go boom !

Slight dissapointment is the loss of the rumble feature of the controllers and the fact you cannot use the old PS2 Dual Shock 2 ones. Also Blu-Ray movies are region locked.

Try to steer clear of 3rd party controllers and HDMI leads as they tend to not work 100% as I found out first hand the other week.

Umm..pretty much thats it. Kinda boring you guys already i suspect with my nerdy rambles lol.
