I've been using my PS3 quite a bit the last few days, getting the hang of everything and trying all of its features out. I have to say I'm nothing short of blown away by the console.
I've been an X-Box guy since the launch of the 360 (I was all Sony prior to), but I got a PS3 to round out my collection of current generation consoles and to replace my drastically dated Blu-Ray player.
The playback for Blu-Rays is awesome. Certainly top notch and much better than I'm used to. Loading is incredibly quick and connection to BD-Live is pretty snappy even on Wi-Fi. I love the audio measurements and connection speed display you can pull up as well.
As far as games go, I've been playing a fair bit of Sports Champions, and I just picked up Little Big Planet which I absolutely love. Tried out the Move demo for Heavy Rain and I'm going to try to get that as soon as possible as well.
I have to say, even though it seems more often than not that in terms of graphics, the 360 wins out in reviews for games that appear on both consoles, everything I've played thus far is by and large far better looking than anything I've played on the 360. Everything seems much smoother, polished and crystal clear on my TV, which can only handle up to 1080i.
Could this simply be because I'm running my PS3 through HDMI cables? I only have one HDMI port so naturally it's going to be dedicated to my primary Blu-Ray player, but I was under the impression that the difference between RGB and HDMI (at least to the naked eye) wasn't all that major.
In any case, I'm definitely geeking out a bit over this console.

This may be a 'n00bish' question, but how do you get music?

This may be a 'n00bish' question, but how do you get music? Like...downloading? Or just putting onto your HDD? The latter is done by putting a disc in your PS3, then under the Music tab, highlighting the CD, and choosing import. You can't download music onto the PS3. Least I don't think you can.

I don't know how I didn't think of that.

Finally playing my PS3 again. Havent touched it since Aug. Friend is letting me borrow Mafia II, Kane and Lynch 2 and UFC 2011. I started playing Mafia II and right after my character came home to USA it started loading...and never stopped. Tried quitting the game and it restarted my PS3. Guess I will try playing it later tonight after work.

Man, I was on pins and needles waiting for the damn store to update today, but I downloaded the Killzone 3 theme. the first 5,000 US PSPlus subscribers that download it gets a shot at playing the multiplayer beta on Oct. 25th...so I should be one of the few that get to play. I can't wait.

I can't believe I haven't gotten around to play Uncharted 2, yet. The first was easily my favourite game of this generation and the fact I've been so slow to get number 2 is confusing.
