So I gots me a PS3 too. 360 has been broken for 3 months and MS said it'd cost £100 to fix. So instead of buying a new 360 I decided to take advantage of the PS3 offers. For £299 I got 80gb PS3, inFamous, Batman, Ghostbusters, MGS4, Terminator and T3 bluray. That ain't bad imho. I looked on Eurogamer and saw that theres a truck load of 10/10 and 9/10 games for the 360 over PS3 but enough to keep me happy.

Really quite impressed with it. Dualshock 3 is better than I thought. Very light and the triggers are a godsend. GT5, which I didn't plan on buying, will probably get bought just to give the triggers a good run. Its been years since I played on my PS2. It got dumped when I got the Xbox so its really quite nice to be back with a Playstation. I like that my avatar is a lemming! Thats just cool. The UI is very nice. iPlayer is brilliant. Its like an Apple thing. It just works.

Need to setup some media server thing if its possible with OSX. PSN Store isn't bad but doesn't seem as good as the 360 one. Hard to find demos. Seems to just list content by category so I dunno if theres a demo or addon or if its an arcade game.

Overall I'm impressed. Theres not a lot of games out I want as they're usually multiformat and I can't even think of anything coming up, but for now I'm happy with it.

PSN name: thecyk

Oh one thing I've noticed. inFamous doesn't appear to be AA?

I agree, the PSN store is a real PITA to find stuff on. They've changed all this in Asia and possibly in the US too, but for some reason they've not updated the European store. It's one of my biggest peeves about the PSN service.
Glad you're enjoying it though, you got a whole lot of good games too.

Glad you're enjoying it Pete
