Just thought i would comment on my latest purchase.

Its a really cool console. Looks fantastic next to my HD TV, multimedia features so far are just what i want (streaming AVI from the PC etc, well i would prefer not to transcode) and Resistance: FoM is fantastic.

It was a big decision to spend £400 with 2 games and an extra controller but when i pulled it out of the box...it was like WOW..now i see why theyre so expensive at the moment.

Im not too concerned with the lack of quality titles because the final year of uni starts soon so it suits me to have only a few to choose from.

All in all im very happy, even at a surprise to myself. Coupled with my 360 and DS, im sorted for a good number of years i think.
 
Surprise sex from PS3!!!


glad yoour happy with your purchase, just entering my final year of uni as well, hoping to treat myself to a ps3 for xmas :)
 
You can do it either using Nero mediahome or TVersity. They act as a server on the computer and simply transcode the AVI to MPEG2 which the PS3 can play. Do a search on google and there are loads of guides available. Personally i found TVersity better but its not the smoothest of programs.
 
I'm tempted by the PS3, which I find odd really as there's so much on the 360 I'd like to get my teeth into. However, it's design, supposed reliability and Blu Ray all make me want a PS3 more. I'd have liked an elite 360 (which is more in styling with my TV) with HD-DVD, but that won't happen.
 
Good purchase mate you wont be dissapointed! Had mine pretty much since release and even the slow development of games still hasnt put me off! Theres a lot to come...

It might have actually been worth it then. Elite seems overpriced to me=/
