Yeah I saw that, but after S&H it came to $369...a nice little discount, but I have the luxury to pay a little more in order to get it today.

Plus Circuit City is doing 180 days no interest so yay!

I wanted to try out Gears of War and Resistance.

I am not a fan of past-era war games.

Metal gear solid guns of the patriot is a pretty fun game. Great 1080P picture.

I love my PS3 because it is not a Wii and I don't have everyone wanting to come over to my house to play.

I thought CoT and the like were WW2 era war games (after CS I pretty much stopped paying attention to MMOFPSs)...

gears of war hasn't come to ps3 yet, but cod4 is still fun. Killzone 2 looks ridiculous and will own fps on the next-gen level. Good to see another bait member with a ps3.

Yeah after just 1 night with the PS3 I have fallen completely in love with it...sounds like one of my ex's :O ha ha.

Me and my girl watched Wall-E on Blue-Ray and, I had heard that the difference between DVD and BR was good but...wow. You simply have to see it to believe it, its the same reaction people gave when DVD first came out in comparison to VHS.

Played TF2 for at least 7 hours...ugh that game is addicting.

Still need to pick up a digital optical cord to hook up the sound to my receiver(until then its just stock TV speakers, not bad but totally lackluster).

I find it a little glib of people who say that the any one feature or game for the PS3 is grounds to dismiss it and call it a hunk of junk.

Every console has their ****ty end of the stick, it just happens like that.

For $400 you get a Blue-Ray player AND a next gen system...sounds like a deal to me especially since BR players won't break the $200 barrier until next year round Summer.

But the PS3 is more than just a next gen console - its the grounds for a complete home entertainment system! Hook up some speakers, an HDTV and a you have a great set up!

Get even more technical and steam TV, movies, music, even your PC onto your nice HDTV - add in a keyboard, mouse, 500GB portable drive and you now have a brand new PC plugged into HD goodness!

The possibilities you can examine with the right know how are wide; which is why the PS4 won't be on the radar until 2013 in my opinion.
