» US Version different to Japan?
The japanese Version has a booklet that describes various hardware things. For example how to change the harddisk and how to change the battery in the controller. All in detailed steps.

So the "throw away your controler" is an urban myth it seems.

$600 just to play GT5, DMC4, MGS4 and FFXIII....no thanks. Maybe IF Blu-Ray succeeds-which i doubt-and it's $200 some day.........

theres a $500 version, which is only $100 more than a 360 *harddrive version.

And all the games you mention won't be release until late 2007/early 08 so its probably better to wait.

Good to know you need a 65 inch HDTV to enjoy Blu-Ray. I mean doesn't everyone have like 3 of those laying around the house?

Really I see the PS3 features and it leaves me wondering why the hell someone would pay $600 for it. Maybe a year from now or something like that but really the console ranges from things that might be cool in a while to being just plain retarded (like the browser).

Yeah, woo, let's show off the power of Blu-Ray with "Talladaga Nights". Nice choice Sony. Schmucks. King Kong might be one of the most boring movies released in the last couple of years but at least it looks and sounds great (for the 20% of the movie not set at sea anyway).
