I didn't see a thread of PS3 reviews. Thought I'd start one.
Here's mine!
PS3'ing Ourselves

The most anticipated gaming system since the telephone, pacemaker and PS2 blew our asses out. Here's the play-by-play from opening the box to playing for hours…to seeing a doctor about our blown-out asses. Read More... |

that review is your work?
nice , looks that firmware upgrade takes so much time to install, it gets on the nerves but atleast it works, and as for the backward compatibility sony launshed a site for that, it seems that about 80% of ps2 games will work fine but ps1 games are having more problems.
by the way the pic you use for the ps3 is rather old, that boomerang was canned in favor of the "sixaxis" quite a wile back.. |

| As far as I've heard, the only problems have been some backwards compatability issues (like sound being dropped and such) and overheating. Unless you consider $600 to be a problem, too... |

I'm sorry mate but the telephone isn't a gaming system. And I beg to differ on "most anticipated".

Umm...yeah...
Some people have voiced concerns that it's the worst controller of the next gen consoles, but whatever floats your boat.

Just like every other of the new consoles...
And yes, overheating was an issue. So much in fact that most comapanies would have had a product recall.[/quote] _________________ Official winner of the A-S Worst Thread Ever Award

It will be left out of next-gen games. |

Yep. And the PS3 dosen't even have anti-aliasing. Even the Wii has it. It also is terrible with old games. _________________ Official winner of the A-S Worst Thread Ever Award

The backward compatibility issue is infamously known among the ps3 community but then again, i just use my ps2 for them, haha. As far as problems, mine has been great so far. It does produce an alot of heat, but it hasnt burned down my house and its not that bad. The biggest thing holding the console back for now imo is the amount of games avaliable. Alot of highly-anticipated titles will b releasing this year which should give the ps3 better leverage against the competitors.  |

A few, but not as many as on the 360 and Wii. When Sony ruled the console world with the PS3 they threatened to blacklist third party producers if they made games on the other consoles. Now that the PS3 is still new and Sony has very little leverage, the old developers aren't so likely to side with Sony. _________________ Official winner of the A-S Worst Thread Ever Award

Backward compatability is shit (Graphics). I have one.
And you can cause a problem easily by turning off your PS3 without waiting for the light to turn red... (NOoooooooooooo My data ?! I had to reformat my PS3 completely taking 3 - 4 hours so I could save games again) _________________ [img:400:140:a13d904028]http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r8/bigdave_89/Created%20Banners/Dark_Magician_Girl_Sig2.jpg[/img:a13d904028] |

ugh looking at this review makes me think about it even less
especially since wii out...
except for some reason tri ace(sq-enix) only make their game for this console
that means i want or not must buy them....
(i'm not a fan of sony but a fan of tri ace[star ocean... valkyrie...) _________________ Haruhi: "Crab is a no-no. Picking the flesh out of the shell drives me nuts. Why crabs make their shells hard? How come they evolve like that?"
