Great while it lasted
Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Well, it's a PS3. High definition output, great gaming experience etc. Everyone knows what the PS3 does or you probably wouldn't buy one.
Props to Newegg for fast processing and shipping.
Cons: The blue-ray reader unceremoniously died after roughly 2 weeks of usage. Won't read any game or blue-ray movie disks even though they are squea...

VERY pleased w/ my purchase
Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: After doing some research, I can confirm that the 40GB PS3 has the 65nm cell processor, which decreases the power usage down to around 130W. I got my PS3 today along with Drake's Fortune, and I am blown away by the quality of the product. No bad experiences here.. Spidey 3 looked amazing! Folding@Home is very cool, connecting to the wireless network is a breeze...

Tech Level: high
Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: The best Blu-Ray player currently available and the games are finally starting to arrive.
Cons: This model does not offer any backward compatability with PS2 games. You will need the 80GB version (which has limited BC) or the now discontinued 20GB or 60GB models.
It also has 2 USB ports (not 4) and does not include the media card reader as the description states. It does have built-in Wi...

Pros: The graphics are amazing on exclusives, and 3rd party games are getting better and better. Uncharted is the single best looking console game out right now. The console has tremendous potential for the future, with exclusives like Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid. Free online play, lots of free content of the Playstation store, and some sweet purchasable content as well. Sixaxis is about the best controller yet...
