Once the On/Off switch on the back is turned on, The PS3 has touch controls, you simply touch the controls embedded within the plastic. For instance, once you put a Blu-ray Disk in, to eject it, you simply glide your finger over the (dash arrow) in front to have the disk ejected. The on/off controls are the same, but take a little longer of a touch to activate. once you get it to work, it will be like the "snap" award given to some games here on GameSpot reviews...... way cool controls.

Keep the PS3, you will be able to play music, movies, and games from it. Enjoy.

For your first games... Play Heavenly Sword, then Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, they are awesome PS3 exclusive games.

For this to happen, and it will.. two things have to take place.

First Sony has said that they can improve the graphics with a firmware update and enhance performance. So, this needs to happen. Not that the graphics arnt already great, games like Heavenly Sword blew me away!

Secondly, a developer like Ninja Theory Ltd. who developed Heavenly Sword,or the developer of Ninja Gaiden Sigma, or COD4's Infinity Ward needs to have the Time to make a great game without the pressure of milestones and release dates looming overhead. Do you guys remember Deus Ex for the PC? Well designer Harvey Smith said in an interview that when the game was done they played it for six months just to make sure it was just right before they put it out. That is what is needed to get the full potential for a game for the PS3, or any system for that matter.

That said, there are great games out there, that take full advantage of what the PS3 has to offer. Although very short, Heavenly Sword is one of those games that is perfect in all that it does, albiet short.

..."Oddly enough, Sony's own patent, filed in 2001 and issued in 2007 actually lists the 1991 patent as a citation. In other words, Sony's own patent lawyers have already seen the old patent and deemed it not to be a threat, and the U.S. Patent Office apparently agreed when it issed Sony the patent in June."

Good, I can relax now.... I was thinking that I might have to let my wife actually touch my PS3 (to comply with the lawsuit and destroy my PS3!)

I had no problems connecting my PS3 wireless to my Linksys WRT54G router. As soon as I set up the connection with WEP security it connected. As soon as I connected I went and got a system update. All good, no problems. Since then I have made an account so I can check out the Playstation store and I have downloaded some game videos and movie trailers. I have had good results with my wireless connection.

To get the best results, there are some things to consider... Where your wireless router is placed for instance, and what other devices are around that could possibly interfere with the signal (cordless 900Mhz phones etc.) I also use a laptop with a wireless connection, and my laptop can tell me the signal strength, which helps :).

will the ps3 make it or will be doomed dark-liger

He is trolling or joking, one or the other.
