Well to start off I think its aproppiate to comment that the PS3 also sometimes freezes, all you have to do is manually shut it off from the back, nothing like loss of memory has ever happened to mine. But all the other next gen video games systems have also frozen, and some were fatal *cough* 360. The online interactions are easy to use, to get used to and are very fun. The graphics are amazing compared to a PS2, remember seeing the turns in a racing game that are supposed to look like a curve actually look like squares? If I had to name a problem with Ps3, it would be...ummm...well i cant name one major problem with it, the only problem is that PS Home hasnt come out yet (03-03-200, also the major PS3 patch, this is one of the reasons I wake up in the morning. Oh one problem with the PS3 is that you cant send messeges when your offline on the PS3, but your on the computer. I love my 40 gig PS3, i i i VIVA PLAYSTATION ! ! ! HA! you People losing your money on Xbox 360 live, your system will get the RROD sooner or later!

Well this post will be explaining the ups and downs of the PS3 (from my point of view). Well my main reason for purchasing a PS3 was because of the wi-fi functionatly, and since i had just installed Internet in my home, i was thinking about getting a PS3 or a Xbox. Well i was all over the Gamestop and Eb games reading posts about the customer satisfaction on the systems. At first I was leaning towards Xbox, but i had been hearing my friends talking about the overheating and the easy malfunctioning the system had. I was thinking about the Ps3, any PS3 as long as it was a PS3, that was when i saw the Ps3 commercial stating the Ps3 was now $399, I was excited. Since i was still thinking about the Xbox because i didnt think my parents would wanna buy a video game system for 399$. I had read a post stating that the Xbox overheated because of the Hours somebody was spending on it, I was scared. I was reading posts about the Ps3, and found no posts saying the system would overheat or malfunction.I had made my choice. I had made my choice but the only obstacle was asking for it. After weeks of Persuading my parents they gave up and agreed with me. So it was Christmas now, Oh I forgot It was near christmas,ok so its Christmas, I showed my parents why the PS3 had been so much money, i had showed them the wireless bluetooth controller, they were amazed especially on the Flight simulator games like Warhawk, wher you can fly your plane with the controller. They saw the graphics and said they were neat. I showed em that i could have buddies, play online, download stuff and surf the net. I have a best PSN friend now that i know personally. I dont see the difference with the PS3 and the Xbox online play. I now have ALL the Playstation products except the PSP 2000, including the PS one. I am really happy with my purchase. i i iVIVA PLAYSTATION AND SONY! ! !
