I must say, I was looking forward to seeing what all the hubbub about the Cell and the incredible "media entertainment center" the PS3 is. And I must say...not impressed. For one, it took me literally about 45 minutes to install this and install that before I could even play my game. Also, the media features on the system are lacking (not that that's what I'm using it for). With the exception of the Blu-Ray capability, I plan on using my Windows Media Center for any non-gaming applications I will do on my tv.

I am not even hating here, just really disappointed. Oh well.

I think that's all I will do. My 360 will be my gaming machine. My PS3 will be my Blu Ray player.

What about the good exclusive games like Resistance, Uncharted, and MGS4?

And why not try a PSN title like Flower?

There is really no difference between the two no matter what fanboys from either side think. The graphics are about the same and the games are virtually identical with both sides having a few nice exclusives. Personally I prefer the 360 and play it more than my PS3 because more of my friends have 360 and I would rather play with them than complete strangers. I never use the Blu-Ray player in my PS3 for movies because my PC has one that I put in for $60 and does the exact same thing. Online I give the edge to Xbox Live, but PSN is decent as well (at least it isn't as bad as what the Wii has to offer). Both are good choices and it all comes down to game preference.

If I bought a PS3 as a bluray player, I would at least buy the top three games to play on it.

What media features is it lacking? It plays music, videos, pics? And you can stream all that to the console?

There are far more threads where people with PS3's get a 360 an aren't happy...do you question those threads too? I do, because the systems are so similar I don't see how you can like one but not the other.

I had the same lack of awe but with my 360 last month when I got it but then I got to know the system better and the awesome online features and I'm enjoying it as much as my now two year old PS3. So my suggestion is that you give it some time and get more familiar with the system and what it can do. Check out some exclusives and Blu-rays I guess.

Personally, it's a little hard for me to swallow that you found a 60 gig. My friends have been struggling to get one for a price that wasn't exorbitant. How long did it take you?
