Post: Read before buying a PS3!

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Here is the explanation of the ps3 in 23 Facts!!

Touch-sensitive power and eject buttons are a nice touch - literally (but we prefer handling said activities from the couch, with a remote or controller)

15,000 kiosks across the nation by the end of November (you might not be able to score a unit until 2007, but at least your local retailer will have one)

The PS3 is not just a cheap Blu-ray player (actually, it's relatively inexpensive)

Not all games will be 1080p (now that's an understatement!)

The Sixaxis controller doesn't feel too light (we disagree)
Speaking of which, the Sixaxis motion sensing takes some getting used to. (uh-huh)

The PSP will connect via Wi-Fi to the PS3's hard drive (a good reason not to sell your PSP)

The Sixaxis gets roughly 30 hours of battery life (if true, it blows Microsoft's Xbox 360 rechargeable -- but easily replaced -- battery away)

There's no "lag" on the wireless Sixaxis controller, either (and there shouldn't be!)

The Sixaxis's wireless range tops out at over 65 feet (20 meters) (how far away do you sit from the TV?)

A new controller will set you back 50 beans (and there's no first-party wired alternative)

Your PlayStation 2 save game files can be transferred to the PS3 (thank goodness! Transferring Xbox saves to 360 is tedious and requires purchasing third-party apps/equipment)

The Blu-ray disc drive is slot loading, and it works like a dream (yeah, but does it have a paperclip-hole fail-safe?)

One LED on the PS3 seems dedicated to tracking hard drive activity (so ... ?)

The first 500,000 PS3s will be packaged with a free Blu-ray feature film (but it's Ferrel's "Talladega Nights")

There's still a hard "power-off" switch on the back of the system, just like the PS2 (annoying)

The PS3 is very, very shiny (so keep your greasy paws off it)

As a whole, the PS3 itself looks incredibly sexy (see previous)

The PS3 is super quiet (we hope -- 'cause the 360 is damned loud!)

You can plug in a USB keyboard and surf the 'Net (and a mouse too?)

The power supply is integrated directly into the system (in other
words, there's no brick to trip over)

Re-download all your merch to someone else's PS3 (or better, download a friend's merch on to your PS3)

First-party games are priced at $59.99 (so are some of the 360's -- *sigh*)

Gimmie a Thanks if u think that this is useful!!Claps

Ok, let me get a few things of my chest;

"Touch-sensitive power and eject buttons are a nice touch - literally (but we prefer handling said activities from the couch, with a remote or controller)". You don't realise that you can turn on the PS3 using the PS button on the controller and you can eject discs from the PS3 do you?

"15,000 kiosks across the nation by the end of November (you might not be able to score a unit until 2007, but at least your local retailer will have one)" didn't finish your sentence there..

Cheap and inexpensive are the same thing

The six-axis controller is light, you probably mistakened the dualshock 3 as a six-axis controller

You can get a dualshock for about £5-10 on ebay brand new

Why is the power off switch annoying? Do you find it strenuous to press?

You cannot buy the old PS3 model and the new one is not shiny it has a matte "plasticy" look to it

you can use a usb keyboard with an xbox 360

Claps:n: Nice Copy and paste.! Also the quote "The PS3 is super quiet (we hope -- 'cause the 360 is damned loud!)" Makes me think that the place you copied this from posted the info before the ps3 came out.

this is a copy and paste before it came out or when it first came out b/c i have the new 360 S there isnt a sound to be heard from it and it also has touch controls just like ps3 and the nobody would be talking about the fat ps3 since the slim is out if you find articles now its probably comparing the 360 S and the PS3 slim
