i love this console

ive been an owner of the 80 gb motorstorm ps3 for coming on 3/4 of a year. i could not be happier with my purchase, and it was 110% worth the price. this definately proves that you get what you pay for. i love some of the exclusives, such as resistance, uncharted, and gran turismo 5: prologue, and im looking very happily forward towards some other games like heavy rain, LPB, resistance 2, gran turismo 5(the actual full finished product), M.A.G., valkeria chronicles, ff versus 13 and although its not a game, home. ive made tons of new friends playing online through psn. i understand that people say psn isnt that great, and that xbl is better, albeit costly, but i would be willing to challange that. sure, you can send someone a vioce message on xbl, but i dont see that as being that important. if i wanted, i could just call them, or whip out a usb keyboard and type out my message in a few minutes. with the recent addition of ingame messaging, ive been able to communicate with others quickly in an online game, and just have a regular chat if we're playing different games. another useful addition has to be the greatness that is 1080p. i also like that it has bluray, because after ive started watching bluray, ive never wanted to go back. dvd quality is so 'ehh...' compared to it. its also great to have the bluray because of its massive storage for on game disks. take LBP as an example; its using 40 gb's of the disk. that means its nearly using the whole thing. those 40gb's would equal a startling 5 xbox dvd disks, which, admit it, is completely impractical. sure, you can say a downside to the bluray would be having to install most of the games right now, but really, on average it takes 5 minutes or less, and if you want, you can just go watch tv till its done, no biggie. and say you run out of space; you can just easily run out, buy a 2.5 inch hard drive(sata), and quickly install it and have it running in probably 10 minutes. also, these hard drives are cheaper than the special ones you are forced to use for the 360. you might have noticed that i put not enough content in the cons. while this is true at the moment, the game list is currently exploding with great games. plus, i dont even have the money to buy half of the games i want with how expensive games are, so it doesnt even affect me really, because sure i could say, yea, those are great games, but in reality, i probably wouldnt get half of them anyway(as opposed to the list of games im looking forward to, which i will most likely get all of). i forgot to mention before, the awesomeness of a browser has been very useful to me, if i need to pull something up quickly, but my computer is turned off. in conclusion, I LOVE THIS CONSOLE TO DEATH. i would get REALLY bored if i couldnt have this thing, and i might go play that wii i picked up a while ago :/. if you took the time to read this entire thing, then wow, you are either really bored, or you just do this because its what you normally do. oops, i almost forgot about the abilty to use things like bluetooth headsets, thats really convenient.

StarCraft II - PC

SC2

wow...that looks amazing. i cant wait till this, starcraft was amazing(and addicting). online play was always the best in starcraft and i hope its more of the same

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - PS3

GT5:P

ive been waiting to get a good gran turismo game ever since 4(which i thought was very good), and that is what i got with my 40 bucks for this. i just finished some really hard raced in A class, and i cant wait to start custom tuning my cars. the graphics are amazing on this game, even on a regular tube television. the game sounds great on surround sound. i do hope that they'll put the actually car tuning into the actual GT5, cause i always enjoyed doing that. the other thing that was a little unliked was the jerkiness of the controls, since if you tapped the analog stick it would jerk you over. i also had to set the oversteer correcting thing to mild, since if i put the analog stick all the way to the right or the left, it would usually spin me out. other than that, its an amazing game

Half-Life 2: The Orange Box - PS3

the orange box

this game is intensely fun. ive been waiting for a while till i could get a chance to get it. the day i got it, i had portal beat because that was the game i was looking forward to the most on it. that was amazing! im totally addicted right now to team fortress 2, as it is too much fun. half-life 2 is crazy and had a great story line, although i havent gotten too far yet.

Assassin's Creed - PS3

wowza

I read all the great reviews for this game and thought, "I gotta have this." after getting it, I was greatly appreciative in the awesome nature of this game. there aren't many games where you can have the equivilent of a historical version of GTA. its just too much fun to go around and stab random people and throw people off of cliffs and into lakes and things like that. guards are chasing you? get up on a building and throw them off. this simlicity is uber fun to me.
