I have a hard time recamending this system. First off I,ve only brought about 5 games for my ps3 2 of witch I never played. between the other 3 Hevenly sword, folklore, and valkyria I dought I have 100 gaming hours on my disc drive. and its already failed. It no longer spins. I have only watched 2 blue rays and 1 dvd (twice). Thats not acceptable. thus the 1 star I barrly used it since I,m always on my xbox core system. first gen. release, and yes 30 plus games latter 100+ hours just on soul calibur... more info
Think Twice Before Buying:
My son likes this console & the fact that you can play online for free. However, I just spent $150 having my son's PS3 laser & disc tracking repaired after a little over a year. I didn't send it out, I had it repaired here in town. It was nice that the repair only took 24 hours. This way I got my same console back, & that's a good thing because I know how this PS3 has been treated. I bought this Sony product after reading all the terrible Xbox reviews. In the end it didn't make any difference... more info
Great buy:
I received the PS3 faster than I thought, and it was in brand new condition. Thanks!
Many better versions out now.:
If you don't mind having to delete your saves within a short amount of time, go ahead and get this system. But if I could turn back time and get my money back, I'd get the 80GB version. It has more functions than the 40, and if you're lucky, you can still find a Metal Gear Solid 4 version with a duelshock 3 controller for the same price of a regular 80GB
