A couple questions about the PS3....

Okay, so I've seriously been deciding on whether to get a PS3 or not, and I have a couple questions about it.

1) Does it freeze often? I have a 360, and the amount of freezing and hardware failures for it really upset me.

2) Does it lag a lot? By this, I mean when you're browsing through your friends list, does it chug through the names at a slow pace?

3) I've heard that the PS3 is much quieter than the 360. Is this true?

Thanks guys!

My PS3 has frozen twice. Once when I quit Folding@Home to play a game, but that seemed to be a fault on the F@H Software. The other time was while I was using the internet browser to, well, browse the internet. 

Doesn't lag at all.

Well I do not own a MS console but I know while I'm at Myer or whatever shop that has one on display, I can hear the console through the display setup. I have my PS3 running all the time, I never turn it off, in my room, and my PC makes much more noise than my PS3, and my PC is set up to be a quiet PC.

There is no lag on the friend list, no lag at all lol... ever...

My PS3is extremely quiet, i run Folding@Home  at night and dont even hear it.

As far as freezing, I like to think of myself as not being a PS3 fanboy but it makes me laugh pretty hard to hear how the Xbox does that. Anyway, no it has never froze.

Wow! That's amazing, that you can keep it on through the night without getting three red lights of death.

Thank you for the answers, this is great news! 

Now that I think about it, I have one more question. Is the online service free?schaotix

Oh yeah, I'm definitely picking up a mic and Resistance when I get the PS3. Though, I won't be getting many other games this year, as having a 360 AND a PS3 is very taxing on my wallet. Honestly, as of right now, I only see myself getting Resistance and MGS4 whenever that comes out.

EDIT: I forgot to ask, what's this Folding@Home thing?
