I Like the PS3
I'm not a big gaming enthusiast; however, I bought one of the discounted, 60GB PS3s to play Blu-ray movies, and I find myself playing games more than I expected. The operating system and user interface are well suited to gaming and multimedia. It's a classy piece of hardware and works well with my home wireless network and my HDTV. I think the bluetooth-compatible controllers are nice, and the six-axis control feature has great potential.
I briefly owned a first-generation XBox and a Game Cube, but most of the games I tried made me car sick, including Halo. This doesn't seem to be as much of a problem with the high def games on the PS3. I've downloaded and played a bunch of relatively simple, inexpensive games from the Playstation Store. I like the fact that these are stored on the hard drive and are immediately available without inserting a disc.
I suspect that the games people want will eventually arrive. Even without a really compelling game, I'm satisfied with my purchase.
