I personally dislike the firmware updates (mine's been freezing since 2.42) and the bluray drive's slow read speed. I also don't understand why Sony would use only 512 megs of XDR RAM after investing so much in the rest of the hardware. The delays and second rate ports don't help either. The only reason I own a PS3 is because of Sony's 1st/2nd party game development, otherwise I would not have purchased it. Sony has built an extremely unattractive console and only a lower price and improved library of games can improve sales. I am happy about the apparent quality of LBP and I hope that MS2, R2, KZ2 and GoW3 live up to expectations for that would surely solve the issue of quality games.
