I honestly have to say that the PS3 was money spent well in my opinion. When paired with the LCD HD TV and HDMI cables, games seem to take on a new life, even older ones. Also I like the fact that it is almost an extension of this site, when members here are on their PS3, I can see immediately.
I haven't tried the Blu-Ray yet, but in all honesty that's not why I bought the system. Not having to use mem-cards is also a plus. The internet seems slower than my puter, but having a 32" monitor is definately cool !!!!
I'm certain that as time goes by I will find more things to make the purchase well worth it. My tried and true friend ( PS2 ) has been relegated to the spare bedroom.
Only complaint is I want an adapter that lets me connect a dual-shock or Guitar Hero controller. They must have one if the 1.7 update enables shock for PS2 games.
Anyway, I guess that's it for now.
