 It should be POS 3 January 6, 2009
Donna M. Funk (Maryland)
If your looking for an overhyped, overpriced, very poorly made gaming console, your looking in the right place. I bought mine upon release in 06 I took the 1st one back because the Blu ray failed, I've had to replace the controllers repeatedly because of calibration issues many right out of the box with issues. Finally I got thr 3 beeps and red flashing light issue, Look it up on any search engine. It is another on a long list that Sony fails to acknowledge as a manufacturing defect, fortunately I held a 3rd party warranty. Only Sony will not ship the parts required to make the repair to the vendor and after a 6 week oddessy they agree to replace it, so it is sent back to my home then to Sony and finally a refurbished unit is at long last arrived. Did I mention in the interim how superior in every way my new XBOX 360 is ? I'm dead serious, I bought into and supported PS3 hype, 7 processers, blue tooth capable cell shading,,,,,, It is an overpriced albatross doomed to failure and as stated in December of 08 on Moneyline, a prime contributer to Sony's fiscal woes. From my first hand experience DO NOT INVEST IN THIS ITEM!!!!!
 The Way Sony's PS3 Was Meant To Be January 3, 2009

Like the top says, this was Sony's first generation PS3 and the way the PS3 was meant to be. This model is superior to the other models in many ways, the key one is that it offers HARDWARE based backwards compatibly(It basically has a PS2 inside the PS3) that plays over 99% of games (not 100% like some people will say) The PS3 can also 'upscale' PS1 and PS2 games, on some PS2 games the graphical difference will be very minimal, on other it will be a big step up, On PS1 games it will eliminate a lot of the 'jaggies' that are apparent in a lot of the 3D games.
Like I mentioned earlier, The 60&20GB offer 99%BC Only one game in my PS2 collection did not work, that one being Orphen. I have experienced some minor trouble with PS1 games but they are just minor graphical hiccups that don't affect the game in anyway.
Good games for the PS3 have been few and far between for awhile, but this years line up seems to be promising for the PS3 (white knight story,Final Fantasy Versus 13-to name a few) However I wish there were more exclusives to the PS3 to justify it higher price (why buy a $400-$500 system with the same games as the $300 system? -c'mon Sony get your act together!)
Another cool feature of the PS3 is it allows you to change the HDD yourself (does not void warranty) It uses a laptop HDD and can support the biggest size available at the moment 500GB!!
Firmware updates for the PS3 have been somewhat of a nightmare for Sony with the 2.40+ versions, There forum has a lot of upset people who have to pay $150 to get there system fixed because a FW update has crashed there system. My recommendation would be to download the updates to a flash drive and then update the PS3 via the flash drive as people who have been getting crashed all download Via the PS3...
Well thats about all I have to say for now, overall this is a very good system although the older 60&20GB models command a much higher price now, I'd say your best alternative would be to get a 80GB BC model it uses software to play the PS2 games witch lets you play 97% of PS2 games (no longer in production but are cheaper than the 60gig model)
This is the one, if you can get it December 19, 2008

This is the best PS3 model made to date, and it is a tragedy that it remains out of production. Despite the smaller storage space, compared to the newer models, the hardware-based back compatibility is flawless, and actually enhances (admittedly, this impact is usually slight but noticable) the play experiance of PS2 games (I doubt that it would be able to do much to improve PS1 games, but it plays them just fine).
Now that the game library is finally starting to get fleshed out, the PS3 is starting to come into its own. In a year or two its games will be blowing the 360's out of the water with its superiour technology and disk space. For now however, this console is best suited for people who aren't as into FPS or sports games, as the 360 still has a superior selection within those genres and will continue to for some time.
