I am not trolling. I've owned a 360 since launch, but just bought a PS3.

Is there a way to change user profiles without backing all the way out to the dashboard (x-menu thingy)? My wife and I are both playing Heavenly Sword and its kind of annoying that to switch users we have to log completley out of the game.

I think I like the 360 menu/OS better, but I'm still exploring the PS3 one. Also, I'm not too sure about the controller, but that could just be because I've been using the 360 one for so long.

Only other complaint so far is that the cord for charging the contoller is WAY too short. Our 360 one easily reaches our couch so we can use it while it charges. The PS3 one doesn't reach nearly as far.

Otherwise, I've liked it so far. I like the system and the hardware. It seems to be built well and it runs very quietly. I haven't had any issues with my 360, but the disc drive can be pretty noisy at times.

No you can't change profiles without being at the XMB. Maybe this will change when the in game XMB update finally arrives. The controller cord is nothing more than a USB to mini USB connector, buy a longer 1.

Nice blog post.CellAnimation

...okay. Guess I should have stuck to just the question. Is there a way to logout/change users within the games?

I thought that may have been a bit rude, so I edited my post and answered your questions. :)

In game XMB should fix the whole problem with switching users and you could always purchase a cord to extend your usb cable
