I didn't, which is why I sold it because I prefered the movies coming out for HD-DVD... Kinda wish I kept it now, but simply for blu-ray.

I bought and HD-DVD player when it was on sale for like 90 bucks, and picked up some exclusives because I thought it was going to win. It's hard to believe the more expensive, more proprietary format would win, but it is. I'm sure I'll get more games, but since it was about the same price for a Blu Ray player as it was for a PS3, I figured why not just buy the fucking console, you know? |

Right now, I only have games for it because I've only had it for a few weeks now and haven't had any chance to buy any movies for it yet.
Motorstorm is alright. There is a steep learning curve and it seems like the AI can always get more of an unfair edge than there should be in a game with the premise it has. But yeah, I'm satisfied with my PS3 right now, and I'll be more than happy to try out some BR movies when I get the opportunity to. |

I use it for both. It's the only dvd player in my house, so I use it for both regular dvds, and any Blu-ray I buy.. I might get Netflix later and rent more blu-rays through them... Or jut use Blockbuster, but they're fucking expensive. Gamewise, I use Gamefly, so I play plenty of games on it.

Not strictly bad, but it lacks a lot of exclusives, and most of the time, 360 versions of multi-platform games are superior.

That's not strictly true. I can only name two games which require a manual HDD install, and it's to prevent load times. Hell, I wish they had the option of an HDD install for mass effect, given that there's a load screen every ten steps. |

On a total side note, I also love the PS3s controller more than any other system out there. I seriously despise how the 360's controller feels. |

The only thing I don't like about the PS3's controller is it's sooooo fricking light. Can't wait for the dualshock, so it should have some weight on it.
Yeah, the mandatory part does bug me a bit... Mainly because it makes me worry about space (I have a 60GB model) and DMC4 for example, uses like 5 gigs. I already have some music, games, songs for Rock Band, and demos on it, plus pictures, so I'm a bit worried about space in the future... Granted I'll probably just put a bigger drive in it, but I'm pretty sure that'll void my warranty, so I'm holding off. |

I know what you mean. A 5 Gig install is a lot, even for the larger models. I bought an 80 GB model because I was (evidently erroneously) told that it had hardware BC, but still, 5 GB is like a 16th of my console's storage, assuming no room for the OS and whatnot. In terms of upgrading, didn't they make the HDD upgradable intentionally? |

Yes, they made it upgradeable intentionally. I'm not 100% sure if there's a size limit, but I'm pretty sure you can use any SATA desktop harddrive. I'm 100% positive you can use up to 250GB. Not sure about bigger though.

I'll upgrade eventually. I don't think it voids the warranty.

Use for both, but a little more for games.

I do want to say I'm not strictly badmouthing the system, though I think Sony did a lot of things wrong. The delay to push Blu Ray as a format really hurt them, costing them exclusives. Making it harder to code for basically was like giving support to Microsoft, even moreso than giving them a year to establish themselves as the leader of the pack. Not to mention, putting in a 1X Blu Ray drive pretty much screwed them, because anything they make that is more epic than the 360 can do will be bogged down by load times, bloated with redundant crap, require mandatory HDD installs (Which will probably be worse than DMC), or all three.
However, it does some things right. Uncharted is fucking amazing, and shows what the PS3 could do if people put effort into making it do so. Will it? Maybe, maybe not. That's a gamble. And if not for Blu Ray, I probably wouldn't have taken that gamble. But thanks to Blu Ray, I probably won't be disappointed, even if PS3 craps out in the games department. |

I'd never purchase any PS console while they still use the same controller model, it feels like I'm getting arthritis every time I use it.
I much prefer the 360 controller, which I also use for PC games. |

Thank God for this shitty controller because they could have used an even shittier controller! Yeah, that's pretty retarded, but I'm unsurprised you need it explained to you. |

So, again, not seeing where you're getting that the comment was stupid, because EVERYONE was relieved when we saw the sixaxis controller be the real controller above that boomerang thing. |
