What in fact I'm talking about is my brand new PS3 that is adding yet more mayhem to an already congested area around my TV, what with my Wii and 360 already taking up valuable space. So yep I'm the proud father of a beautiful, bouncing baby 40gb PS3 and I'm cuffed to bits 
.
So what are my thoughts on this black beauty? Well I'm going to compare it to the 360 I know I shouldn't but hey I can't resist.
As far as setting up goes very easy. No brick for the power and HDMI is as easy as pie, though there was some straining and grunting trying to get this into the most inaccessible area in my TV.
As for the OS and online set up. I don't know perhaps I'm just to used to the 360 or perhaps it was just the fact that someone (and I will hunt them down like the dog's they are) had already taken my name that kind of made it feel slightly less of an easy and enjoyable experience compared to the 360. But hey I'm online now and whilst I haven't ventured into any games ( I don't have a headset gggrrrr that was one omission I wasn't happy about) it seems to be working.
Which brings me onto the PSN Store. This seems a bit congested and not as easy to find what you want though again this may be due to me not really being that used to it.
As for games well I only have Resistance at the moment. I wasn't that impressed to begin with. Then bizarrely played it for 5 hours (that whizzed by) without a break, realising perhaps it is a good game after all to hold my attention for so long!
That's about it really I know I need to put it through it's paces a bit more and I will do in the coming weeks. Oh and if you want to add me feel free PSN ID: MunkieMunch

Blu ray films are great, aslong as you don't buy a crappy one
oh and also LBP when it comes out I can't wait to give it a try with some Blu Ray @ INKling yeah don't get me wrong it is anawesome machine and oh so quiet compared to my 360 which sounds like it's taking off at times
but for gaming I think my 360 is still my weapon of choice after all can't let all my GP's go to waste LOL@BZSIN hanks fella your officially my first PS3 online chum!! I was thinking about upgrading but I think I need to let my wallet calm down a bit first LOL
Get some Blu rays in, and have fun!
if you want to use other video content, just put it on a memory stick and copy it across to the PS3 hard drive, I have found it compatible with .avi and MP4
I'm sure you can get a VGA cable can't you? @WWIAB Tbh fella I don't really collect films but i may well rent a BR film tonight just to see what all the fuss is about and yep £200 is a steal
Ooo good news on the 3 flashing rings on my Xbox - appears to be a power issue when charging my controllers on standby - stop charging controllers on standby - no flashing red rings - HURRAH!!
Blue Ray though is awesome ...esp with surround sound etc ...just wow. But as i have said only really got it as it was a bargain and for games like LBP, MGS and GT5 (if they ever release it ) As for the Wii one word of warning I have played more on my PS3 than i have on my Wii and I got my Wii at launch. There just aren't the games for it 
Good news about your 360 though I'm fearing for mine I just got C&C and it has crashed and crashed whilst playing perhaps i need to show it more love!!!Hope your feeling better as well

A headset isn't worth bothering with, most of the people on PSN don't have them or are complete idiots
try and get MGS4, MotorStorm, Uncharted, R&C Tools of Destruction and GT5: P if you have a HDTV, get some Blu Rays in!
