A friend of mine has a PS3...paid $750US for it...TOOOOOO much if you ask me, at least for this first run. The network connectivity sucks...it takes at least 30min to download the <100Meg file with an 8Mbit connection, and that's if you can actually get a 'good' rate. Sometimes, it'll go for 15min and not be done with the first 2%... Also, there's some output issues with different tv's, ps2 games don't play right, it costs $600, there's no linux drivers for the cell yet, etc. etc... I would like one, but I don't have an HDTV yet, and I find it best to wait for at least the first price cut and all the bugs to worked out...oh, and GT5...
