Some Random thoughts, questions, and complaints about the PS3

I've had my PS3 for about a week and a half now and there are some things that I don't understand, some things I'm not sure how to do, and some things I just don't like.

My TV goes up to 1080i with either component video cables or HDMI cable.  Right now I have component cables, is there any benefit to switching to HDMI if they both display 1080i? (It's a 60 inch Sony Grand Wega)

Is there any quick and easy way to find out how much of the hard drive space has been used?

Is there more than one possible ending to Resistance?  The one I saw was pretty bad.

Why are all those downloadable PS1 games just for the PSP?

That menu screen where you access all the settings, web browser, etc.  I don't know what its called (system menu maybe?) but you know what I mean.  Is there any way to make the system boot directly to that even if there is a disc in the drive?  Here's an example.  Last night I wanted to play a few tracks of the Gran Tourismo HD demo really quickly before going out to dinner.  I turned on the system but the game in the drive came up automatically, so I had to quit the game to get back to the menu.   I want it to go straight to the menu every time.

Is there an adapter available that will let me use my old PS2 controllers with my PS3?

That's all I got for now

Added support for their PSP system, the two systems will have more interactivity together.

I've done it before, but check the manual. I think you start up the system and go to the main screen. click the triangle on you user icon. take it off of load directly into game (I think that's it. If not, I'll edit it later).

Yes, but it's not out yet. http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802566
