Why would anyone buy a multiplatform multiplayer game on the PS3? XBox Live has a billion (rough figure) more players online than the PS3. Though the gap may close a bit with the release of this new bundle.
Whoever said the USB port on the Wii works when it's off was lying. I have to charge my controller through my DVR, of all things. At least it charges relatively quickly. Sony should be ashamed at such a ridiculous design decision.
I have to play MGS4, so it was a major factor in buying the PS3. However, I also wanted to get a Blu-ray player now that the format wars have ended. There are actually quite a few games I'd like to rent, such as Heavenly Sword (which I believe can be played through in one sitting), and Uncharted, which sounds great. There are future exclusives coming down the line which I will want to play, such as FF XIII (I believe it's exclusive, anyway). And, unfortunately, I will be forced to buy Soul Calibur IV on the PS3 to get Darth Vader, unless someone confirms before release that he will be downloadable on Xbox Live. Namco says Yoda and Vader will be exclusive to their respective systems, which I think sucks. They did that with Soul Calibur 2, but there was no such thing as DLC back then. There's just no excuse for it now.
The PS3 does not play nice with streaming through WMP11 for me. The Xbox 360 works like a champ, but the PS3 just kinda times out when trying to list contents (though some videos have made it through). Pretty disappointing, since the PS3's player seems nicer than the 360's. Maybe I'll give Tversity a try.
