Finally got a PS3, for bday

Got an early bday gift 2 nights ago, a 320gb PS3 with Uncharted. I'm really liking it over the 360. When both consoles came out, I choose the 360 because of the Halo series being console specific. But after my 7th 360 and the continuous loud fan noise, my focus is going to shift to the PS3. It is very quiet, the video looks and the audio sounds better, imo. Using the same monster brand (probably overkill) hdmi and optical cables for both consoles. This will now be my default blu ray player, since I needed to make room. What a pain. Removed all components and organized cables in the tv entertainment stand, it needed it anyway. Started at 9:30pm and finished up at 2am. Played for only 5 minutes that night or should I say morning. Anyway I wish somebody would provide highspeed service in our area, can't game on verizon usb modem due to limited data plans.

Congrats on getting a PS3! I had to get a new one like yours because my old, fat 60GB PS3 suffered the "Yellow Light Of Death". Lost a lot of data on that machine. Hope you enjoy your PS3!

Thumbs up

one of the things for PS3 that is a MUST buy is the Sony Bluetooth PS3 remote. I use it for not only bluray and dvd playback but also for netflix and viewing videos that I stream from my PC .

Got a PS3 for my bday before last. 360 guy also, but this is better I think. I don't play them much now though.
