First, check out wipeout hd. I really cannot wait to get this:

Pros: So what have I liked about my ps3 so far? A handful of great downloadable games. Good first party titles. It has been a very reliable piece of hardware this far. I really like the sixaxis controls. I have bought more games for the ps3 since it’s launch, many more games I had on any of the previous consoles I owned in the past. As a Blu-Ray player, this thing is the bomb. Videos look amazing on my trinitron in 1080i. The DVD upscaling is amazing as well, making many of my regular old DVDs look almost like Blu-Ray movies. I like the interface on the Playstation 3 operating system. It’s fast, responsive and easy to navigate. I love a lot about the Playstation 3.

Cons: So what can I complain about? Let’s see. The online store is ugly, hard to find things and is not updated with good content and game demos enough. Still not a lot of ps1 downloadable content, I want the rpgs, ff7, ff8, ff9, stuff like that. Home needs to come out like NOW. No rewards in games. I really think they are dragging their feet right now. I know this summer will be big, but come on Sony, give us more online stuff. The great games that have come out for the ps3 are usually 6 to 9 hours of game play, at 65 dollars per game after taxes, This really sucks. I feel really ripped off in that regard. Linux runs like ass on the ps3. Only 256mb of ram, they should allow usb ram to work as system ram on linux as well. No linux distro supports the ps3 cell, instead it uses the ps3 as a power pc, using just the controller processor on the cell which is a ppc. In the end, the performance of linux on a PS3 is like running a mac g4 at 1.2ghz starved on memory. This is a joke. Sony needs to get a good build of linux out there. One that supports FLASH. Flash on ps3 linux is not supported, because adobe doesn’t support ppc anymore. So the ps3 in linux doesn’t even cut it as a web browser. Linux on ps3 is not even an option because of how slow it runs and the flash handicap. I was hoping the ps3 could be a computer on my big TV. Nope. Don’t even bother with it for now. When a cell based linux distro with flash support comes out, i’ll jump on. They also lock down the video and do not supply drivers for the video card in linux. grrrrrr. The regular ps3 web browser is a joke. The font scaling sucks in high res. The ps3 always runs out of memory, I cannot even look at gametrailers.com movies with it. Big thumbs down on the ps3 web browser. They should allow for usb memory to expand the ram for web browsing. No in game xmb. Meaning, if i am in a game playing, and a friend tries to chat with me, I will have to quit the game to chat, or read a message. Xbox is way better in this regard. Sony promises in game xbm and chat soon, let’s hope they deliver. Seriously.

Conclusion: The ps3 to me is still the best console on the market for the money. Blu-ray, and dvd playback are the best. The games are the best. The free online network is great. But the online store sucks for the most part. Linux is a joke on the ps3. The web browser really sucks on the ps3. I like the browser on the wii better. The games are over priced, and do not deliver enough game play for the money this is true on the 360 as well though. I still recommend buying a ps3 as the main gaming console. Don’t expect linux, web browsing and the online store to be good for now. I hope they fix these problems.
