I didn't wait for my PS3 on launch day, just walked in around lunch time and picked it up. I also don't get those bluetooth issues.

The charger cable thing is annoying, when I'm on my own I just switch over to my second controller, but if friends are over, who'evers controller needs charging has to take the office chair and wheel themselves closer to the tv.

I used to have terrible small writting problems, but that was when I used to play on SD. Maybe you should sit closer? : D

I like all the extra settings, but yeah, that stuff goes over the head of most people.



What I hate is how all the messaging my friends is setup. If I press x on a friend it'll load up their useless gamercard, I have to press triangle and click to show all the messages, and then when reading a msg if I press O it cancels back out to the xmb and not the list of messages. And if I'm playing MW2, I instinctly press triangle and then X not realising that when playing MW2 it's all setup different with join or invite to game in the usual view msg's space.

Using the inbox shows all the messages from everybody. Atleast they put in an icon to show you have mail waiting. But the whole communicating with your friends needs a complete overhaul.

@sega4life:--

Font Size: Everything is small, annoyingly small, even on a 61HDTV, hate to see what a SDTV looks like

I personally have no problems with the font size.

PlayStation Store: Not a user friendly store, Why so many games have no demo's? and again everything is Small, from the words to the pics, Pics are real small, don't know why I have all this empty space on either side of the PS-Store, use it to make shit bigger please.

It depends on which PSN store you use, if you use the EU store then yes it is a pain to find things, the US store is so much better and it has so much more content.

BlueTooth: Nice feature, but like my cell phones, it just doesn't feel like a solid connection, 2 out of 5 times I hit the PS button on the controller the controller turns on but not the PS3 hence getting up and turning on the PS3 Manually.. I always have to reconnect my BlueTooth Keyboard, always.

Maybe the controller is not sychronised properly??

Headset: use any BlueTooth headset, but if you don't use the PS3 Headset you will have issues turning it on like a keyboard, headset doesn't turn off when the system turns off, to just waste battery?  I can not connect more then one headset at a time? so much for Co-Op online play.

Don't know about this one as seen as i don't bother with headsets

Blu-Ray: I pay for Sonys new Format. I got storage to replace speed, why? so my games load slower and mandatory installs? I do not see the "I must have" when I watch a Blu-Ray movie, compared to an upscaled DvD.... on a 61in HDTV 120hz anyway

It depends on what film you watched on BD, if you watch batman or Wall-E on BD you can definately see the difference, I think older films you cannont really tell the difference but this is because they have not really changed it much they just slammed it on a BD and labelled it as Hi-Def.

Mandatory Installs: not so bad if you upgrade the Hard Drive, but space is running out for those that don't,  could give me the option to install a game I want to improve the loading times?

Not all games need installs, and you can delete onld installs that you don't need anymore.

Interface/Options: Not user friendly, WTF does YPB/CB Pr/Cr Super-White or RGB Full Range mean to the average user? this is when the built in browser & google come in handy, Even resolution options can be a pain, why can't my PS3 just STAY on 1080p even when I force it? It just can't do it. To many options is not a good thing hence why people make help topics to get better framerates for your PS3 games.

I think those options are there for people wanting to run there graphics through an AV lead, it basically improves the graphics output you see on the screen when using an AV lead, although still using HDMI is obviously the recommended option if you really want to witness the full power of the PS3.

Download/Installs: Ok my download is finally done... installing? what? You can't find a way to do it in one quick way like other systems? I wouldn't mind if the isntalls didn't take forever. Eye Of Judgment and Pain installs can be... well... a pain. Downloaded Burnout Paradise on both the 360 and PS3 at the same time, PS3 finished almost 7 minutes after the 360, and then I had to install the demo (but I guess it depends on were you live)

Downloads and Installs take a matter of minutes, it's not really that bad

Runs Hot: Picture this, your at work, left your PS3 on to do some Folding@Home, you get a call from your wife freaking out that the PS3 is over heating: WTF.. what do you mean? well.. I was dusting the entertainment center and dusted the PS3... WAIT, stop right there, you dusted my PS3? with what?.. Pledge?  no like you told me, gently no pressure, but it's real hot, I get home and feel the PS3.. No honey, that's how it gets. Sorry but my PS3 has always run hotter then my other systems.

The PS3 is prone to getting hot, but at least most times it does not break because of it, have you tried gettiing a cooler for it??

Charging Accessories: Charging controllers or accessories is a pain, the system has to be on, will not charge when off like other consoles, I bought a multicharger for the controllers that plugs into a wall outlet, but does not work for Duel Shocks, plugging the USB and trying to play at the same time will not work when your TV is a 61in and you have to sit at least 6 feet away to not go cross-eyed.

Ok fair enough, I agree with you on this one.
