i feel your pain and i didn't even pay for my ps3 i got it free with my mobile contract, Sony really need to pull something special out of the bag because the 360 is leading the way in so many ways.
the ps3`s pad is a joke it's the same as the old ps1 pad with stupid motion sensor
i find it funny that it`s billed as an all in one media center but can't play xvid, wmvhd or mkv and mayby more
the game`s i`ve played are average, gt5 prologue is the best of the bunch but even that has it`s problems one of the bigest is when cars go off track the dust that is kicked up is well pixilated
trophy's??? come on it only supports 1 game right now with less that 10 ( i think ) are going to have them anytime soon where as the 360 as had acceviments from day one witch some people may say are pointless but i like them many time's I've played a game on the 360 and felt like giving up but have played on just to see what the secert acceviments are maybe sad but i was glad i played on and still have many of the games still in my collection
in game music yes i know many others have said this but i`t one of the biggest problems, i hate most in game music and to be-able to have my favourite tracks playing in the background is a must, i mean is there anyone that likes all in game music??? racing game's are the main time i really wish i could bring up the control panel and put on a banging tune instead of the questionable music in game
that lasty few months i had put the ps3 to the back of my mind then one day walking round tesco`s found the phone part and noticed they were giving away loads of free gifts with the phone`s inc a ps3 so thought may as well get it if only for a blu-ray player ( i got the ps3, my sister has taken on the contract and my son has the phone :D )so your probley thinking well what are you complaining about and yes because i got it free i feel a lot less upset about it but there are other people that are spending around £300 for a console that has weak games, weak media play back and needs sony to do something special to pull this around.
before you all start flaming me i`ve been playing game`s for longer than most of you have been around and i`ve had pritty much all the consoles that have come out ( with the exception of all nintendo i just think it`s more of a kiddie console to me ) and i`ve had all the playstations the first of them was awesome there was nothing out there that could touch it then the ps2 it looked amasing so spent £600 to get one when it first come out but sold it for a massive loss a few months later so with the ps3 i thought i would wait and get one, so a year on i have one and was very exited but it was very quickly disappointed, game`s @ 720p apart from gt5 and other newer game`s even though come out over year after the 360, need for speed pro street for example i had it on the 360 and the graphic`s were really good but sold it shortly after because i didn`t play it much and my son didn`t like it ( his got a 360 as well ) then just after getting my ps3 i was looking for bargains at game.co.uk and found a preowned copy for £12.99 and i have to say the difference was amasing the 360 ver was much better graphics wise now you would think with all the power the ps3 has it would look the same or better but it`s just not true ( btw both consoles were connected by hdmi to the same tv (Toshiba 42xv505db) with the same settings on the tv?? :S
sorry this has turned into a bit of a rant but it`s how i feel, i`m no fan boy as i have all 3 next gen systems ( 2x 360`s 1 wii (my little girls) and a ps3 ) also have a gaming pc well 2 my son has one as well and have had most of the other consoles from the old atari to the vic 20 and amiga to most of the old sega consoles and atari lynx and jaguar as well as all 3 playstations and both xbox`s, i`m just a fan of games and also love movies so for me the 360 is my favroite but i hope the ps3 pulls it round as this would put pressure on microsoft to make even better games hopefully cheaper withc is better for all of us not just the fat cats at microsoft and sony :D
