UPDATE: Ok now that I've had a chance to play some games and mess around on the PS3 i'm gonna post my opinions.

So far I've played through a mission or two of Killzone 3 and I have to say its AMAZING! The gameplay is amazing and just pure epic, and i'm only on normal difficulty but the game can be hella hard (can't imagine how hard it is on Elite!) The graphics aren't the second coming like some make them out to be but they are the best I have seen on consoles and definitely a nice step up from anything I've seen the 360 be able to do. Game is a 9.7/10

I also played a tiny bit of Motorstorm...that game is hella hard, and the graphics are crap (but hey it was a launch title) Fun game though!

Other games I got were GOW collections, GOW3, and Infamous, and I only played some GOW1 out of those 3 games. I'm planning on starting with GOW1 and working my way to GOW3.

Now onto my thoughts about the console itself.

I have to say i'm not really a fan of the dashboard....its very simpilistic (which is good) but kind of boring. Does the job just fine though!

I like that PSN is free (it would suck paying for 2 online memberships) and its pretty good.  No cross chat or party chat is going to be a bummer for me though (I use them all the time on my 360) but thats not a huge deal either since I don't have a mic yet xD

I love disk slot loading! And the console looks pretty good.

I don't like the weird annoying sounds it makes when it loads games up.

My biggest beef with the PS3 has to be with the controller....who thought having non-concave thumbsticks would be a good idea?!?  The left thumbstick is in the left place and the triggers (or tabs really) are pretty horrible...the D-pad is really good though! But I fixed these problems by going out and getting a $20 PS3 controller thats much more like the 360 controller.

I also downloaded Home and messed around on that a bit. I think its pretty cool, probably won't spend too much time on it though.

 

Well thats it for now really, Are there any free PSN games?

 

I don't think there are any free PSN games...

You can get free ones with PS though they are only rental. (That is expires after your subscription expires).

You can buy a new Dynamic theme(which is flash-based and cost around $3 I think) to decorate your XMB, or you can download los of free themes on PSN. They are not as good as dynamic ones though.

 

(If you weren't blown by killzone 3, then damn.....I wonder what will blow your mind...) 

Oh yeah I get a free 3 month PSN Plus trial don't I?

And I was pretty blown away with Killzone 3!  Very few games have blown me away like that!

I don't think so. Did you recieve a code or something with the bundle? Coz normally you don't get any PS plus subscriptions..

Hey whatever you do , DO NOT download the yakuza 4 demo,  because its a waste of space since its only showing the battle system of different character, but if you want a game like shenmue where you're likely to sink a lot of time doing lots of fun stuff, then Yakuza is for you.

also a bit of friendly advice.

Also don't get Folklore, its NOT an RPG.

don't get Untold Legends, its mediocre.

and don't get MGS4 unless you are a fan of MGS

I could have sworn that Sony said that everyone got a 3 month trial period at last E3

Hah! Yes, but that was only if you get a 1 year plan beforehand, instead of 12 months you get 15 months lol.

I hope you are not disappointed. :P

But, if you want to get stacking for free ($15) you may want to look into PS Plus coz I heard it was free for this month or something, check out the PSN for details I guess.

And don't listen to pullus, MGS 4 is great! :( Although you may not like it depending on your tastes...

TBH though MGS4 just doesnt seem like my kind of game...but I will check out the demo before I make my final judgement.
