BUY A PS3 CLOSER TO X-MAS!!!

PS3 IS NOT A GOOD BUYING INVESTMENT UNLESS PURCHASED UNDER COST!!!!!

With the introduction of the under supplied and highly demanded Playstation 3 we have seen outrageous prices for the new unsavy system console released by Sony. Ever since Mr. Stringer took the helm last year at Sony, the struggling if still formidable electronics giant, the world has been hearing about how the coming Playsation 3 would save the company, or at least revialize it.  Even after Microsoft took the lead in the video game wars a year ago with its new and powerful Xbox 360, Sony insisted that the PS3 would leapfrog all competition to deliver and unsupassed level of fun.

Sony has failed to deliver on that promise.

The PlayStation 3 is probably the world's most powerful game console, but we know for sure that it is the world's worst powerful game console.  It falls far short, however of providing the World's most engaging overall entertainment experience.  There is a big difference, and Sony seems to have confused one for the other.

The PS3 importantly is surprisingly clunky to use and simply does not provide many basic funcations that users have come to expect, especially online.

With the PS3, 12 minutes after opening the box I realized that Sony inexplicably does not include cables to connect the machine to a high-definition television.  Keep in mind that one of Sony's main selling points has been that the PS3 plays Blu-Ray high-definition movie discs.  But high definition cables????  They are sold seperately. 

Then, before you are ven using the PS#, you have to coneccet the "wireless' controller to the base unit with a USB cable so they can recognize eachother.  If you take your controller over to someone else's house you have to reload your controller onto their system.

There are some high points.  The multi-player battles in Resistance: Fall of Man are excellent.  The arcade-style action in the downloadable Blast Factor is suitably frantic.

Given the limited quantities Sony has been able to manufacture the Playsation 3 with surely remain sold out throughout the holiday season.  If you can't find one, don't fret.
