High failure rate on Blu Ray player
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
My Blu Ray player, a 80g unit that was backward compatible, failed after 20 months of light use (5hrs of blu ray movies, 4-5hrs of regular DVD and 3hrs of PS3 gameplay a week). This has happened to a lot of people particularly in PS3′s with the 400a laser. I am unwilling to pay Sony the $155 to fix it(The fix comes with a crappy 3 month warranty – If the failure rate is less than 1% why such a mediocre warranty?) so I bought a laser from a third party and installed myself.

Playstation 3
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The Playstation 3 is everything I expected it to be and more. The graphics are beautiful and so lifelike. And it connects to the internet wirelessly which is great. The wireless controller is great also and it stays charged up a long time.

Feature wise, it has everything one could want in a play station. Well worth the money.

Great System
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Definitely does it for me…

I’m 15 years old and well I had a wii, the ps3 out did it 10 fold… Amazing graphics, blu-ray, online, you can’t get any better….. I’m not a halo or gears fan…. so I chose some simple games like mgs4 and madden, and oblivion, all classics that I can’t put down. Whether your a hardcore gamer or a causal, this is the system for you, I can’t get off it. hint: keep it in an open area without dust or just to keep it clean

PS3 – load/Insert Disc issue after only 45 days of use.
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Hey all, Since people get really heated about their consoles, be it a xbox360, wii, or what I purchased, a ps3, I want you to know this is coming from someone who is not a major game player. I am just an average guy who wanted a reliable entertainment console for my family and myself. 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. Every electronic product has it’s failure issues. But a product should not have these issues after only 45 days. For this, I am rating this one stars for now. But I will see how Sony handles my claim and honors their warranty and update if needed. In hind site, I see now that all these console are pretty much the same be it a RROD issue or Disc read/load issue. But what matters most is how the company supports and stands behind their products. Microsoft has 3 years of part/labor for their xbox systems and Sony only has 1. Protect yourself and get the xbox360, even if it does break, MS will fix it fast and for free. I know this because all my friends have xbox360. I am the only one who opted for the PS3..:)Serves me right. Also, if you are weighing in that the technology is better for ps3. Think of it this way, what good is the technology if you can’t user it? MS may have created bad systems, but they have created way more efficient ones now with the Jasper chipset and they stand behind all thier old ones, which speaks volumes about the company. Hope that helps. Take care. Ethan.

Freakin’ Rocks!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought my PS3 80gb used here on Amazon. Of course I took a risk buying expensive electronics used……but everything was perfect!! I even rec’vd an extra controller and the HDTV Cables. I have been an avid gamer since very young and fell in love with the 360′s graphics and game choices. I couldn’t really afford buying the PS3 until I saw the great deal for this used system. Now I proudly own both consoles and couldn’t be happier. Besides, it’ll be nice to have a system that won’t have a hardware failure every six months!! Also, I’m not worried of being locked out of game exclusives anymore!! I ended up paying $260 for the entire system. Figures, Sony just announced the price drop to $299 but this was unknown when purchased. System was in MINT condition!! I would Def recommend getting a used PS3, pending on sellers feedback, of course!

More than I expected
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The PS3 is more than I expected out of a gaming console. It does everything I need it to do. 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).

Best bang for your buck
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This PS3 is hands down the best value for your money. Just the games I can play on it is well worth the price, but being able to play blue ray dvds, and play online for free with my friends too? Thats just insane. I know I’m being Captain Obvious here, but this was the best thing I’ve bought this year and its worth every penny spent. If you dont have one yet you should get one right away.

The better console in this moment
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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. The only complaint that I have is the size and weight.
