Great price with the product in wonderful condition as well as bonus items and easy contact. A++++
I was very pleased with this product. I had heard a lot of negative things about the 40gb playstation and was glad to find that they were not true.
The controller is wireless, and it doesn't have rumble effect. Its a small glitch. You can acces the Sony store to buy and download dozens of games or even movies in HD. You don't have to pay a big monthly subscription like in the "other" competitor.
I have one problem though, that sometimes the screen turns green after or before watching a movie. It doesn't matter if your game only has Dolby encoding, it will output in DTS (or you can set it to outpot in Dolby. I don't know why, but once I restart the console, it will dissapear. I have it hooked to a Sony Bravia 32" (you can get one for $600.).
For some reason DTS sounds more life-like and powerful than Dolby 5.1, and it will literally make your room rumble. It just has too many features too list. You can even get into Youtube and make the video screen BIG to fit your TV. Its very versatily and Sony is constanlty updating the software FOR FREE. The games are huge, becasue blu-ray discs can store many times more data than DVDs. Hulu.com works great also and you can watch whole TV shows and even moves, and they look better than regular TV because many times they're 480i HD. They're not expensive.
If you have a surround sound system with an optical cable, you can set the PS3 to translate the signal to DTS automatically. later I use an HDMI cable.You turn it on from your couch, just press the PS button on your controller and it launches. In fact, you barely notice, unless the movie is shot in digital format. I think that's and awesome feature.
But I know you can install Linux in it, and I'm going to try it.You can browse the internet with its included browser. First of all, the graphics are smooth and pretty close to reality. You can usually rent a movie for a few dollar for a day, or you can even buy it and store it in your system.And everything you do online is FREE. You can also turn it off from your controller. Its strictly to meet and play with people). But whatever, I don't really care what you choose in the end, its your money and you can blow it on a 360 or a Wii *laughs*, heck $20 a month for XBox live isn't much anyway, that's just $240 a year hahaha. I have even seen games in the Playstation Network store for $2.99, and some are even free.
It doensn't have memory stick slots (this 40 gb model) but I don't need them ,because I can even transer file with a USB memory stick or a burned CDRom. and its amazing.
Your choice)Blue ray movies look and sound way better than DVDs. If you have internet, you can get into the free HOME interface and interact, play and meet other people (similar to SecondLife, although you can't buy real estate or transfer cash to other people.
I haven't had the time to use its features fully. They look pretty close.
I've had the ps3 for 7 months now, and I must say it lives up to Sony's standards. Although, the PS3 upconverts the DVDs to look pretty close to blue-ray.
But you can buy on separately with that feature.
It lags and freezes when I play madden sometimes. its pretty good. I also get strange effects when i watch DVD's.
They want $150 to look at it. If you look online, you'll find thousands of people with the same complaint. There's rumblings of class action law suits. My PS3 broke down after less than a year of very very light duty use. They just threw away a family of lifers. Even though it's clearly defective design and manufacturing, Sony wont honor their brand.
We're done with Sony. I've bought over $20,000 of Sony products in my life. It wont read DVDs, which is mostly what we use it for. Given the breadth of the problem, a recall is the only legitimate solution.
