Much as with the iPhone, I reserve judgment until such time as the item in question actually exists.

I agree with Zepher that the relevance of this will be highly correlated with the "personalization" aspects and features it includes. Have two chairs to choose from doesn't count! I do like the idea that the PS3 is pushing the keyboard into the living room.. maybe I can move off the PC when I start getting a competent keyboard & mouse setup for FPS/RTS on the console.

Far nicer than just a bunch of little boxes like XBox Live. I think using it as a method to meet up for multiplayer gaming is cool. The whole thing provides a central "hub" for the entertainment options within the console itself. VERY cool.

I agree with you, this is going to be awesome. I've read about having your clan apartment/house etc... For team members to meet and you can put streaming video on a flat screen placed in your house. This is shooting high, but you could take recorded video of match’s on cs maps and study better ways to win objectives or defend them. The possibilities are insane.

I understand most of us don’t play consoles, I mean only ps3 and wii get me off my pc, but ps3 does have USB hook ups for keyboard and mouses. I hardly think that Sony wouldn’t come out with a great FPS. With Linux and even most recently windows being run on PS3, it could eventually have CSS being played on it! This is some awesome hardware, might take time to get these ideas into place, but I’m excited about this!

How do you like it? I really want to pick one up. Getting the Blu-Ray player as part of the deal just makes it even more worthwhile.

Waiting for it in the mail. The Blu-Ray Player is the main reason i'm getting it as well since there isn't any software. Killzone looks sweet though.


Guy tried to scam me luckily i'm smarter then he.

I was going to comment on the possible SCAM...but then read the final sentence... I make my living listening to these type of Ebay fraud complaints...and it smelled fishy..at best..

BTW..anyone think all the Wii's are being bought before store opening at WalMart and EBGames etc.. and then begin sold on Ebay..?? I'd do it I guess... but I am still looking for the elusive Wii at List price.. ;-)
