I just got mine last week. I wanted to get one before they removed the emotion engine chip, and the price drop helped too. I love how you can save pictures online, and use them as your wallpaper.

Holy Crap.. if it's said to be that good i really wanna get one.. but theres a few things im worrying about here... i read a bunch of threads and i noticed alot of people were having problems with their ps3's and i was kind of concerned about that,and also i heard that some unknown company filed a law suit or something because sony took some patent or whatever, and im worried if its true that sony will have to destroy all ps3's... i know their a well-known and wealthy company and they'll probably win the case but you never know...

1) problems are rather few and far a part, in general, with one exception. Some people are having trouble getting it to connect with the wireless, while others experience problems with the "remote play" option outside of home. However, those are widely covered, and if you bought one and experienced this, there are many people that could help.

2)I wouldn't worry about the lawsuit. It appears to be mostly frivolous, as they have been rather vague in their complaint, they are suing (sort of) the wrong people, and, frankly, some small company doesn't stand a chance against Sony's armada of high-priced lawyers. They could never have all PS3s detroyed.

I'm seeing that the PS3 is a very reliable system (compared to others.) And if you do have a problem..Sony's customer service is real good. Not to mention FAST.

I wouldn't worry too much about that lawsuit. I highly doubt that Sony's going to end up destroying all of their PS3's. My fingers are crossed though. Just in case...

I Bought my PS3 at Launch. I have not had any Wireless or Remote Play Connection Problems. The Reports of Failures are probably XBox Fanboys trying to spread rumors because the 360 has such a High "Documented" Failure rate. Luckily for me my 360 which I got at Launch as well is still tickin along good... Knock on Wood... Do the Ring of Death Rain Dance... In regards to heat, my 360 puts out more heat than my PS3. I also am very glad to have a PS3 with the Emotion Chip in it. That makes me 99% Backwards Compatible. Yes, I still play PS2 games. Although, the PS3s without the Emotion Chip are supposed to be 80% or better Backwards Compatible, which is a far cry better than my 360, which with the New Update is only about 15% compatible... I am glad that Microsoft is still working on Backwards Compatibility, but 15% is pretty bad. It makes me worry if my Xbox360 games will work on their Next System??? This is why I buy all Multi-Platform Titles for my PS3.

After they get rid of the emotion engine and goto software for backwards compatabiltiy, do you think the PS3 will still be able to run the 3 Ratchet & Clank games, the 4 onimusha games, the 2 god of wars, MGS1,2,3, and RE4?????? Cause I really want to play those again because right now My ps2 broke and I only have a 360 right now and Im saving up for a PS3 so I dont want to buy a new PS2.

You should have nothing to worry about. I have seen so many, too many reports on the "other" system with their "red rings of death" I hardly see any reports of hardware failure regarding the PS3, minor problems going online because not too many people know how. You should provide more information as to where you have seen these "threads". It wouldn't surprise me that they are actually Xbox supporters trying to bash the powerful PS3. I have my PS3 and am extremely pleased with my purchase.

I'm pretty sure the ps3 without EE can run those games, 80% means that all the big, best selling games of the ps2 and many other average games run without problems. You can ask an european owner, their ps3s are already without EE.

I'd imagine so. Those are some pretty big name titles you mentioned there (encorporating some of their biggest mascots). It would be downright stupid to not allow backwards compatability not to mention a PR nightmare (especially GoW1+2).

I got mine just last week and was anxiously awaiting Lair, only to find out it was delayed last week. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait until Warhawk comes out now, although I have had a great time with the Heavenly Sword demo.

Did you get RFOM? I think I'm going to pick that one up. Everybody says it's awesome.

Things are looking good for Sony and the PS3. I have been checking the F@H on the PS3 and there has been a huge differance in the way things are showing up on the site now. Because this pretty much repersents actual PS3's that are up and running at this moment.
