Anyone who has followed video games recently has heard of the past issues with the Xbox and their red ring of death, but what most don't know (I didn't until recently at least) is that the PS3 has the exact same problem, with a small catch, they charge you an additional 150 dollar fee to "fix" their shoddy system. The Playstation 3 is to my knowledge the most expensive console on the market, yet despite that cost you will find yourself with few unique games and a system that quite simply doesn't last.
I've had the PS3 for about 2 years, however almost never played it (lack of any interesting games). I then bought Rock Band 2 and actually started to use the system, and about 3 months later, the system begins to randomly freeze while I'm playing and force me to restart it. Within a couple days of that the problem has become freezing after 20 minutes of use and then not turning on again for an hour, until now where I can turn it on for maybe 5 minutes before just leaving it unplugged for the rest of the day.
While I can't vouch for what you will receive, I know that I personally will never buy a Sony product again.

I used my 60GB every day for 2 1/2 years and it finally died. I had an extended warranty which paid me the original purchase price so I bought the 80GB to replace it. It was our main multimedia hub in the family room. I absolutely loved it. When it died I tried to make due with my 360 for multimedia for awhile and there is no comparison. I upgrade to a 320GB with my original and managed to back it up before it died.
Here are a few things that are different:
1. No Backward Compatibility, there are rumors this is coming. I was playing GoW II at the time so it's a bit dissapointing.
2. No SACD support. This is hardly mentioned but I have a small collection so again, this is dissapointing.
3. Less USB, no card readers. I plan to buy the Nyko USB port and memory stick reader. The memory stick is handy to quickly backup you saved games after you play them.
4. Runs cooler, less chips, 45nm chips.
5. Video you purchased will not work on the new PS3. It's basically DRM. I was told I could call Sony to get help in this area.
The 360 has been fine for games while my PS3 was gone but there is no comparison for movies, music, video, pictures, etc...

Last Saturday my Playstation 3 just suddenly stopped reading disc's. I first checked online to see if anyone had a quick fix. First thing I noticed was the sheer number of pages dedicated to PS3's disc drive failing. I called Sony to see what help I could get from them. I was informed by Sony that they were aware of the problem and the only solution was to have the broken drive replaced for $150 plus shipping. My 18 month old PS3 was out of warranty. Sony's position was,"Too bad, so sad"
I also own an Xbox 360 and was a victim of the "Red Ring of Death". Microsoft admitted their machine was faulty and gave me a reconditioned unit.
So apparently Sony just does not care if people ever buy their products again. My house is filled with Sony products. I will never buy another. I have always lived by the axiom,"When in doubt-buy Sony. It's often not the best, but it's always decent quality and reliable". Not anymore.
I plan on just junking the PS3 and buying a sub $150 blu-ray player. Obviously, not a Sony.

I now own all 3 major next-gen consoles: The Xbox 360, the Wii, and now this one. I can honestly say I'm very impressed with it. Now is definitely the time to buy one I think. Wait another year, and the prices will only continue to drop. I finally broke down and bought the PS3 based on a bundle sale that only cost me around 400 bones for the console and a couple games.
I mentioned the above, because I think there are way too many fan-boys out there to skew people's decision what console to buy that still don't own any of these consoles, and are thinking about purchasing one. After using the PS3 for about a month now, it's become painfully obvious to me that neither the 360 or the PS3 is better than the other. Rather, it's a matter of opinion what you are going to use the console for.
For me there was only a couple of reasons to own the PS3: Blu-Ray and to play the Sony exclusive games. The PS3 is by far the best available Blu-Ray player in my opinion. It's designed to play just about any Blu-Ray disc, it can be updated with firmware updates, and thing connects wirelessly to the internet via a wireless router/modem. Blu-Ray looks and sounds phenomenal. If you have an HDTV, and you have the extra cash to spare for Blu-Ray, ... I don't know what you're waiting on then. There truly is an incredible difference in sound and picture between Blu-Ray and DVD. The Sony PS3 allows you to view Blu-Ray in all of its glory. With all the extra features and such, maneuvering through all the menus on the PS3 is a breeze, too.
The Sony exclusives for games isn't as compelling I think in comparison to the 360. However, that's all up to opinion. You'd have to play 'em to really grasp what you'd prefer. I'm more of a sports and action kind of gamer. I really love the 360 when it comes to Gears of War, Halo, and Mass Effect. The PS3 offers games such as Resistance, MLB: The Show, Killzone 2, and of course, Metal Gear Solid 4. It really comes down to what games tickle your fancy a little more. After you read all the reviews, and all of the hype, you really have to just play the games. I've played the games like Infamous and Little Big Planet. Those games have received great reviews, but I didn't like them too much. So my point is, if you're stuck on which system has the best games, my advice is to just play them and see for yourself. One fact remains about the PS3 exclusives, however, and that is that PS3 does provide the better graphics. The graphics card within the PS3 is produced by nVidia. If you're a PC geek like me, you know that nVidia's graphics cards have always been on the pricier side. There's a reason for that, and I'll just leave it at that.
The PS3 offers many things that make it better than the 360. The hard drive isn't proprietary, and easily exchangeable with a bigger hard drive. The controllers have built in rechargeable battery backs that charge via USB, and connect via Bluetooth. You can use a standard USB keyboard/mouse. Wireless capability is included with the PS3. It runs with a faster processor and graphics card. You can even install a separate operating system on the PS3. Browsing the web is surprisingly easy as well. It's not my browser of choice by any means, but it is 100% compatible with every website I've thrown at it. The PS3 is a Blu-Ray player, which makes it a gaming console, and your main movie player. The PS3 also up-converts your DVDs.
The PS3 is not perfect by any means, however. If you play online games you'll want to stay away from the PS3. Paying for the Xbox Live experience was always annoying to me, but after engaging in some online matches with Killzone 2, it has opened my eyes. The play is laggy and slow. Finding matches accourding to your skill level is also found wanting. The store and browsing for demos and such is done far better with Xbox's Live experience. The Xbox also offers instant streaming via Netflix, and PS3 doesn't. I find the controller for the PS3 a little uncomfortable compared to the Xbox. The buttons at times can be too sensitive, and the controller feels cramped at times. Bottom line for the controller, though, is that is strictly opinion. My wife's hands are much smaller than mine, and the controller for the PS3 to her is 100 million times better than the 360. So it just depends on what feels right to you.
The bottom line for the PS3 is that whatever your preferences are, those should dictate what system you'll choose if you can only choose one. There are many features available to you other than what I mentioned, and you can view those via Sony's website, or by browsing through the other reviews posted here. There's really no reason to not own a PS3. If you're looking to make the step towards Blu-Ray, you have a wireless network in your house, and you love solo gaming, then PS3 is probably for you. If online gaming is a big deal, and you're not really convinced that Blu-Ray is the way to go for you, than you should probably go the route of the Xbox 360. The whole exclusive gaming thing is really just a bonus. Both systems offer quality exclusive games that will make you happy.

the PS3 is awesome until it breaks, which on average takes about a year from what I have read in the forums. Seeing that it breaks usually after warranty you have to pay another 150 dollars just to fix the problem. Sony is definitly ripping people off by charging 400 for the system now, and then 150 to fix it in a year. My NES still works from the 80's, explain that to me.
