So I got a PS3

As you all know, Sony recently announced/released a slim version of their towering ebony behemoth (is it out yet?). What this means for stingy folk such as myself is obvious: obsolete hardware selling for cheap! I took a trip into town today to find that this is indeed the case, and came home (somewhat slowly) with 500 tonnes or so of gaming hardware in tow, carried by several donkeys, along with Stephen Fry's Voice LittleBigPlanet and InFamous.

After lugging it up the stairs with the help of a hastily constructed elevator (in case I'm being too subtle here: the PS3 is really, really heavy) and playing LBP for a few hours, here are my initial impression:

Stuff I like:

+ It comes with a HDMI port
+ Wireless internet access out of the box
+ Controller is rechargeable
+ Attractive, user-friendly OS
+ Online services are free and easy to use/set-up
+  Boots up and runs quickly

Stuff I don't like

+ It's really heavy
+ Generates more heat than a flamethrower
+ Game updates download very slowly
+ Games seem to load more slowly than on the 360

Overall, I'm very happy with my PS3. I was resistant to buying one for a long time due to the price and Sony's attitude at the start of this generation, but a string of current and future exclusives, a massive reduction in price and the fact that four of my Xbox's have now broken have curried a lot of favour with me.
