I absolutely despise my PS3. I have a piece of crap 20gb, and I thought I liked it ok until now. I usually play my 360, which is:
-Elite
-Lots of memory
-Fast DLC D/L speed
-NO GAME INSTALL
-DOESN'T TAKE 2GB JUST TO SAVE THE GAME!
Now, with my luck, it just all of the sudden breaks. No reason for it. The disk drive just stops working. And whats even better is I can't send it in for a repair anymore, so I am royally screwed. Now I have two current Gen consoles to choose from
The Wii and The PS3
I thought to myself:
"Oh, guess I'll move onto the PS3 till I get a new 360 later.."
But thats not what has happened, noooo, I have, infact, chosen to move to my Wii. I didn't realize this until just now, as I had to pick which game to try and finish off this evening, and I chose RE3 over F.E.A.R. I noticed that this choice had become based on console. I looked at the PS3, had a slight feeling of rage, and then grabbed the RE3 case and popped the disc inside my Wii. I realized that its not F.E.A.R., its the PS3 itself. I then evaluated the piece of crap:
-20gb
-crappy D/L speeds
-Crappy exclusive game selection so far (Theres a few gems, but the Xbox 360 has lots more)
-No fucking memory card slot!
I then looked at my Wii:
-Barely any load times
-Better backwards compatibility
-Can use memory cards/SD Cards
-Uses AA batteries, so quicker controller renewal.
-Fairly good D/L speed
I would much rather play my Xbox 360, and Left 4 Dead, but I can't. So right now I have to settle for what I have. The only good thing is that RE5 isn't a 360 exclusive, because that would screw me over, big time. I guess I should be thankful that I have all 3 consoles though, as some of my friends and family only own one.
Maybe one day the PS3 will correct its horrible ways, but until then Im a Xbox and Wii person. Can't wait to play RE5 on the PS3 though....but with the install times It could take awhile...

for your bitching about memory, the hard drive can be replaced. (info can be transferred over with a external hard drive). Look it up
there's a slot where you can insert a ps2/ps1 memory card adaptor, on a 60 gig at least.
You can make a virtual memory card (thats what I did) for both ps1 and ps2 and switch before you start the game
as for your whining about D/L speeds. its a free service, what do you expect.
and saving. I have never encountered a game that required two gig save file. ever.
The installation i don't really get but I delete installed games that I don't own (rentals etc)
So shut the frakk up please. Your incessant whining and utter lack of research into what it is that you are bitching about throughout the article is annoying and pointless.
I got my issues with each console, but generally i play the ps3 more because its a more stable console with more features to my preference. And i have big hands and yet somehow shooters feel better on that console than the 360.
I love how other people have a opinionated response, but you just say ok. lol.
You can always sell your console if you don't use it. That is what I did with my Wii.
I don't know why install times bug people, really. Demo installs bother me, but if an install helps a game run better, then so be it. You say that you have a lot more space in the 360, which may be true, but when you do run out, if you want to keep your stuff, do you know how much a new 360 hard drive will cost you? A shit-ton more than a PS3 hard drive, I can tell you that much right now. And as far as the memory card slot goes, that's only the 20gb.
A lot of people say the 40gb was the worst model. Personally, I think it's the 20gb. I'd try to sell it and get another model if I were you.
2 out of your 4 flaws for the PS3 are because you're cheap and didn't buy a 60 gig.
The Download speed is all about your internet, because mines gone at 1meg a second consistently for days before, and usually averages around 600kb/s
Crappy exclusives can be turned on to any of the 3 consoles.
I doubt you even have a Playstation.

Lies...There are specific hard drive models that you need to buy, but it's no more difficult to add a new hard drive than a PS3. Especially if you're upgrading the current drive you have.
I don't feel like buying fresh parts, then cracking it open and installing a new drive. Too much work, too little time. I don't care if Im called lazy, no way will I risk breaking the little functionality it has now. I think Im just gonna buy a new one, then put my old hard drive in the new one.
