The PS3 may be expensive, but so is the 360 for that matter. Seeing as how I could go out tomorrow and buy a PS3 for the same price as a 360, I wouldn't say the price is a con.Originally Posted by Rainecloud
Con = Price.
And that, my friends, is the only reason I haven't purchased one.
Personally, I don't have any cons for the system. I have a lot of great games for mine that I love, hard drive installs are quick when a game features them, (if you want to talk about long installs JKtrix, I have some PC games that downright drive me mad. Waiting even ten minutes, which I doubt I've had to, for a PS3 game to install doesn't bother me at all), and I have no problem with forced downloads. With my internet connection, they go quickly, and I can easily just set my PS3 up to download when I don't plan on playing. You only absolutely need them if you play online or want access to the Playstation Store, and if you have no internet connection for your PS3, or a particularly slow, or spotty one, then playing online wouldn't be a very fun experience anyway. You can always download them on your PC and transfer them over later anyway if your PS3 has trouble getting a decent connection for some reason.
As for pros, everyone else has made some good lists so I won't add too much except to say that the controllers are rechargeable. There is nothing I hate more than having to replace batteries, or be expected to buy rechargeable batteries later. The PS3 controllers come with them, and they last a good long while. To me, it makes no sense to not include rechargeable batteries with a wireless controller these days.
