[QUOTE="bds0688, post: 4809016, member: 574556"] PS3 makes a very nice media player. I personally like the menu system better as well as the overall amount of tweaking you can do to it. The game selection is sub par as far as exclusive goes. You have Resistance, Metal Gear, Ratchet and Clank, and a few others. And this has nothing to do with a year jump from the 360. The console is a mother to program for, and developers are hesitant as the PS3 has sold considerably less than the 360. It's a matter of money and time. The PS3 is getting some sweet games in the next year and a half, so it won't be a waste. Plus it gets most of the heavy hitting multiplayer games, such as sports and music games. Also, the 360 is leaps and bounds above the PS3 in terms of music during games, as well as messages and game invites. If online play is important to you, this may bug you. It's quieter than the 360, if you plan on using it for DVD movies, or streamed. It has had a few updates recently, and they can take awhile depending on your method of doing it. (i.e, wireless internet, wired, or USB thumbdrive). The DualShock 3 and Sixaxis are alright. The shoulder "triggers' bother me, but that's a personal preference. I don't like the lack of weight or feel they(triggers) have. The controllers are out of the box rechargeable, which is nice. USB mini plug will do it. Not sure if it charges when the PS3 goes into standby like the 360 does, but charges during gameplay or what have you. Some games have required partial install. Off the top of my head... Metal Gear Solid 4 Heavenly Sword Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Devil May Cry 4 The Orange Box Don't bother with the 40 gig. The 80 gig has more features and is pretty future proof. These game installs can be deleted and won't affect your save, if you run out of room. You'll just have to reinstall and then if needed, update the game. Oh, the game updates can take awhile too. Hope some of that helps.

Two can be aimed at bad luck, but 3 and on and there seems to be a common denominator. The third party fans can make it worse. You don't think MS would have put faster fans/more fans if they were needed? It was a flaw in the heatsink design/attachment. Nothing to do with the fans. What some of these third party fans did was actually worsen the problem. [/QUOTE]
