I have come to realize that the ps3 gaming system is waaay over rated. It is no different than the PS2 system that came out several years ago at a starting price of $300. The only differences that I have found were a slighly and hardly noticeable graphics difference, The games which some they dont make for the ps2 in a valient attempt to get you to waste 500-900 dollars on the ps3 system, and of course being able to play HD blue ray disks. Personally I will wait until the ps3 is $199.00 and by then they will have a ps4 out.....and that will probably be right around $1000 and it will sell on ebay for half a million....not worth the money.....ps3 is almost as bad as the tickle me elmo craze that went around a few years back...except it is 6 times the price and hardly worth it.
