This is a common problem. The games were great while it worked and the graphics were amazing. Too bad it Sony has all these quality control issues. from Amazon.com This is the best game sytem ever its way better then the 360 and if u want more gb just pick up a new hdd hard drive disk but the best ever from Amazon.com i brought mine long time ago soon this original ps3 doesn't manufacture anymore after since the new ps3 slim just came out after they lower the price sell $299.99 with 120gb... special feature you can buy and upgrade hard drive up to 300gb or more, you can download anime, shows or movie transfer on your ps3. you can go online free chatting with your friends and family. from Amazon.com The Playstation 3 is everything I expected it to be and more. The graphics are beautiful and so lifelike. from Amazon.com the cover is just stuck there, ouch ANND worst of all it has no ps2 backwards compatibilty... jeez they even took out some of the vents where the console got most hot and they also but shiny gray trim instead of chrome trim now that really ticked me as most of the things except the ps2 compatibility are obtainable via usb or mods I am still really dissapointed about this system. im going to invest in a used 60 gb rather than this dissapointment but hey im lucky enough i got a ps3 :) from Amazon.com Definitely does it for me... I'm 15 years old and well I had a wii, the ps3 out did it 10 fold... from Amazon.com The only glitch is the lack of backwards compatibility. It would have been nice to play all my PS 1 & 2 games on it also. The blue ray was definitely a good idea on Sonys' part. The first blueray I watched was "Iron Man" and thoroughly enjoyed how the BD transferred the information (especially using the HDMI output). from Amazon.com I bought my PS3 80gb used here on Amazon. Of course I took a risk buying expensive electronics used......but everything was perfect!! from Amazon.com After much deliberation between the PS3 and the Xbox360, I chose the PS3 because it was more of an all around entertainment console and even though it did have not a great library of games, I was fine with that since I am a very casual gamer and reliability mattered more due to the RROD issues that xbox360 users were experiencing. Well, after 45 days, the disc player stopped loading into the PS3 console. I am in the process of sending this into Sony for repair since it's still under warranty. This is the first time I have ever done this for any electronics. from Amazon.com The PS3 was my first gaming console and I am so happy with my purchase. I like the graphics and had compared the benefits of this console and the other ones and I think that this is the better gaming console that exists in this moment. from Amazon.com
