Ups and Downs...

Of course blu-ray is an amazing feature while using an HD Tv! The games are on Blu-Ray Discs so they can be larger than 10Gb like I know Final Fantasy is like 43Gb & Killzone 3 is about 42Gb... Umm, most of the exclusive games are good, but the games that are also for 360 look exactly the same on BOth consoles.. (Wish people knew that) It's also a nice media player :D

The online service SUCKS!! THe dang thing was down for 3 weeks because they didn't have YOUR personal Data encrypted!!! W*F?! And they had like a security system outdated by like 3+ Years!!!! Another CON is it was SO EASY to Hack! I jailbroke it as soon as I bought it! ( THe hack is patched now tho) Hmm, Personally I don't like the controller, it feels okward to hold & when I set it down on a table or something, it presses eithor the L2 or R2 buttons?! Hmm,, 160GB HDD goes pretty fast depending how you use it, although you can replace it with your own 2.5 inch sata drive... I don't like the XMB ( A.K.A. its OS or dashboard) its not as simple or easy to navigate, kinda takes some "Investigating" to fully learn what everything does, hell theres still some stuff that I'm not sure what it does! The PSN Plus service is a JOKE, its like leasing games from Sony :/

The only reason I bought a PS3 was on January 8th 2011, GeoHot released a Jailbreak and the PS3 Keys for the 3.55 firmware, so I bought one and hacked it, it's still hacked & I love what I can do with the homebrew on it! So that's the only reason I bought one but I wanted a Blu-Ray player too at the time :) so it all worked out...

But 3 starts because of the pros and cons I listed, seems like a right amount of stars........
