You should consider painting your PS3 yourself. I painted my original Xbox a nice metallic green with a clear lacquer top coat. I painted my Xbox 360 Pro black with a heavy duty black lacquer. All spray pain rattle cans and it all looked as good as the pictures I saw on Colorware's website. Think about it, cans of paint are only $4 and after that it only costs you some time.

Did you just buy paint designed for plastic? I'd be worried about it flaking or peeling.

I have had great luck with the plastic spray paint. But I usualy put a clear lacquer coating to add a hard outer protective shell for the paint.

After your finished putting all the coats on it. Let it sit for a few days to fully harden before handling it. It's easy to get impasioant, but with paint it takes a long time to cure  and the recommendations on the can are allways far too short.

Dishonored (Hype it guys)
Deus Ex Human Revolution
Metro 2033

To be frank these forums are a hot bed of hyperbole. It isn't a belief so much as it is experience talking. Every year people go over the top with their lists, and every year they end up cutting back by the time it comes to follow through with their bravado. It isn't just the cost mind you, but the reality that you can only have so much time to play with. Playing a thousand hours of games sounds good in theory. Until you take into account that you might want to have things like genuine human interaction, a job, or taking part in other activities.

Every year it is like kids in a candy store. They proudly proclaim they are going to eat all the candy. Having forgotten they said the same thing the previous year, and had to tap out at three pounds of gummi bears. My point being is if your going to settle for something more realistic in the end. Why not start there instead of debating which game your going to have to go with three months from now. Why go through the same song and dance all over again.

I can't speak for others, but I listed 15 games which will cost me around 600 €, and I'll buy all of them at full price within the first days or weeks of release.
