Ars Technica hates the PS3 too; Dtoid ready to take failed console off haters’ hands

*First a public announcement* We’d like to post this message now for all the PlayStation 3 owners that are already over and done with, with the console: Please send us your disappointment since you hate it so much. We’ll be more than happy to take it off your hands since it sucks so hard for you. *Announcement over*

OK, moving along. It seems that Ars Technica is joining the PS3-hate parade lately with their lengthy (and I mean lengthy) review of Sony’s mean machine. Here’s their conclusion wrapped nicely in bullet points:

The Good:

• The hardware looks great, and runs nearly silently and very cool
• Wireless controller is light and feels great
• Great-looking Blu-ray movie playback
• Price is low for a Bluy-ray player
• A lot of multimedia options
• Solid backwards compatibility

The Bad:

• Terrible online store
• Slow, unintuitive browser
• No background downloading
• Games continue to play even if you eject the disc; you have to manually restart the UI via the controller
• Messy UI
• HD scaler doesn’t work right
• Price is high for a video game console
• No rumble, controller loses sync with system sometimes; little game support for motion-sensing features
• Uninspired launch lineup

The Ugly:

• Knowing that no one is actually playing this thing, every system is waiting in a box somewhere for the eBay profit
