Playstation 3

So I FINALLY bought myself a new playstation 3 Wednesday. I must say, it basically blows me away. It was so damn awesome. On an HDTV with HDMI it is absolutely unreal. Just amazingly pretty. The setup was a bit of a pain, especially wince my wifi connection isn't the best. I kept losing contact because I have the system in a TV cabinet and it really interferes with the wireless router we have. Maybe when we get a new wireless G router it will work a bit better. Not too concerned about it though, since the games themselves are the main reason I got it. The graphics are sick, the controller is great (can't wait to actually use the full sixaxis function). I feel I made the right choice between this and Xbox. I am loyal to my Sony. I haven't yet checked out a blue ray movie on it, but thats because blockbuster doesn't have them yet. I don't really buy movies.. why buy one when I watch it once and it just sits on a shelf. There are very few movies I enjoy enough to watch several times in which to necessitate owning them. They are Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and a few others thrown in here and there... That's really it, so no, I will not be buying blue ray movies (not until the aforementioned Star Wars 6 pack comes out.. that should run what like $200??) I will say one thing.. unless you have an HDTV, and a good surround sound system, I wouldn't blow the money... You gotta take full advantage of it if you are going to do it. Either way, I highly recommend it. Far exceeds my expectations so far.
