My personal opinion summarised and simplified - Don't waste your money on a PS3.

True, the games are yet to fully utilize the ENORMOUS space that a blu ray disc can hold. But you can really tell a difference between 1080i and 1080p when watching a film.

Yes i have but the Cell and the new cell v2 are still much faster. And the Falcon and Jasper upgrade the GPU now CPU so get over it games mainly need the CPU and the 360 is locked not non share that power while the PS3 can share it between its areas. Your right the blueray for now is not being taken advantage of, but some games such as little big planet, Home and MGS4 have really taken advantage of it. Where will the 360 be next gen without blueray..... no where

I borrowed Little Big Planet last night for two days. I had family over that night so I couldn't get on the PS3. When I finally got a chance to play, I was pretty tired. I just wanted to play the game for half an hour or so and do something else. Well, I put in Little Big planet. It had to download an update, then it had to download ANOTHER update, then the game itself wasn't speedy to load. I waited about 25-30 minutes just to play 1 game for about 20 minutes. Pardon my french but that's fucking ridiculous.
The initial download of the game supposedly makes it quicker to play afterwards but other than there being no 20 minutes of downloading, I noticed no speed increase in the load times.

I didn't enjoy Little Big Planet, I got about 4 levels deep became bored.

The world isn't ready for Blu Ray. Sure there are the people who just love that beautiful picture but not everyone is willing to fork out nearly a grand just for a PS3. I say nearly a grand because that's about how much it takes to make it worth anything(enjoyment-wise).

Where will the 360 be next gen without blueray..... no where

I lol'd at that. PS3, 360, Wii are the next gen consoles(for now). And the way you've said that implies that the 360 will have no sucessor.

IMO, the best use you'll get out of a PS3 is watching Blu Ray movies. And even then you're MUCH better off getting a stand alone Blu Ray player as the PS3 is far from what the normal person would call user friendly.
