Well? what's good and bad about the new shiny Ps3?
Discuss
Some things may be different in Australia.
Cons first:
-Price
-Cheaper system can't play PS1/PS2 disc games
-No rumble controller officially released for us yet (Already out in Japan, expected to come out in 'Spring' in US/Europe areas. Maybe includes Australia)
-Big chunk of its value is lost if you don't have an HD screen.
-Bluetooth remote (i.e. cannot be used with a normal Universal remote)
Pros:
-Excellent multimedia centre (BluRay, DVD, networked media)
-One of the cheaper BluRay players, especially of the 1.1 variety
-PlayStation Network (PSN is free)
-Decent chunk of games available, a couple more high profile ones coming real soon
To get the most out of the PS3 and its features you should have an HD screen and broadband Internet access. Also for some of the 'media centre' abilities you need a network hooked up.
Pros
- FFXIII compilation, good ol' speculation of likely FFVII remake, KH3 most likely, MGS4, Tekken, maybe Killzone 2, depending on if it's anything like the first..
- PSN cos its free.
- Controller, better then Xbox controller in my opinion.
- Media options.
- Graphics.
Cons
- Price.
- Lack of games at the moment.
- Price.
- Cos PSN is free, it isn't as good as Xbox Live and won't have as many players.
- Price.
- The number of different types of it after a year is just confusing.
- Price.
I'd say PS3 is worth buying, but definitely not yet.

Pros:
- Region Free
- Great Multimedia System
- Web Browsing
- Quiet as a mouse
- Promising Future line-up
- Most Powerful System
- Dirt cheap for what your getting
- Free Online, how it should be.
- Low failure rate. Reliable.
Cons:
- Forced System Updates
- Delays
- One big mutha....
- Too many different versions. Confusing for consumer.
- Price, but it isnt that expensive now. I think people go overboard with this one.
The only con I really have is without the aircooler attached it overheats quick.
Thanks Polaris for the Awesome Avy and Sig!

Can't really say much, since I've only used my friend's PS3, but I'll give it a go:
Pros:
Well made controller, very light.
Cons:
It's a large system. :3

there was a picture here
well, thanks guys! i have the PS3 that also plays back to PS1 and 2 games. so yeah.. what i think is a pro as well is that the controller is wire less ^.^!
Well the controller being wireless is the standard this generation. It's like saying "Pro: There's analog sticks" :P
lol wut?, thanks for pointing that out haha.
Cos there isn't as many people with PS3's and not that many PSN games, there won't be as many players.

The controller being light is because it doesn't have Rumble. It actually feels like a cheap toy.
On that note, I will be picking up my DualShock 3 tomorrow. Yay.
And the Region Free thing totally slipped my mind. Definitely a 'pro' for people like me.
I haven't really heard of PS3s 'overheating', outside of the random people who have it in closed spaces. Even then, it doesn't seem to 'overheat' to the point of crashing.
Only Real Cons are Price, lack of Games, and Size.
And chances are, Price won't be a problem for too long.
And Games are definately starting to look better. Tekken 6, SC4, Last Remanent (I think it may be on 360 too, but who knows, I'd rather play it off the PS2 due to the nicer controller)
There really isn't much to do about the size.
Joseph, just because it gets warm, that doesn't mean it's overheated..
Pros:
Internet! I'm posting this from my PS3
Pretty much everything my friend Dreddz said.
Backwards compatibility! I'm able to play FFVII again!
Cons:
A bit large and heavy
A lot of important accessories aren't included when you buy it.
Pros
- Graphics
- Game variety and list is getting better as time goes on
- Genji II spawned a phenomenon xD...
- Big hate base
- Lots of updates to keep the system sharp and pointy <3
Cons
- A bit massive (not that it's meant to be portable...)
- Big hate base :[
- Not everyone has hi-def televiosions yet, maybe soon~
- Forced Updates
Also, another Pro-that's-a-con-but-then-it's-a-pro-again:
Installed Games.
The con side is that it takes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time to perform the installation (and it takes a bite out of your harddrive space), but the ultimate 'pro' is that games load super quick. Right now, the only games I have that have 'installed' are Virtua Fighter and Ninja Gaiden, but I think Devil May Cry 4 is going to have the feature as well. Hopefully Burnout will do it too. I think the Install feature is a major 'plus' for the PS3 version of multi-platform games because it outweighs my personal preference for the 360's pad setup, Achievements and online service.
