Thinking about getting a PS3, I don't know anything about it and have questions!

Hello, and thank you in advance for answering my questions about the PS3. I was wondering what type of output it has at this point, meaning does it still use component or HDMI? Also, I was wondering if there are any hardware problems with the console and any associated with the Blu-Ray player. Now, I do own a 360 so I know that it can't possibly have worse hardware problems than those that I have experienced. Also, I am COMPLETELY new to the playstation arena so what are the really good games out there that are exclusive for the PS3? Basically I wanted to get a Blu-Ray player, but I thought I might as well get a PS3 because it seems like a good deal to get a console and a system in both. Let me know, and again I appreciate any information/advice.

It comes with out of the box with a composite cables, you can get component cables (the PS2 component cables will work even) or use any industry standard HDMI cable.

There are no widespread hardware issues with the PS3.

Hope that helps.

Edit: For games it depends on what you like. Below are some of my favorites that are exclusive.

action: Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted

Platformer: Ratchet and Clank

Driving: F1 and Motorstorm

Shooters: Unreal Tournament 3, Resistance, Warhawk
