Worth the money spent This console is one of the best. Sony did it again and the wait was worthy August 23, 2011
one thing they need to do hey sony i just wanna say could you please make a update so we can have private chat while playing games because thats 1 thing i like about the xbox is that u can still talk to friends even though you are playing another game so please fix this because everyone i know that has a xbox says they would rather a ps3 but there is no private chat.. so please fix that May 20, 2011
worth every cent like the title says, its worth every cent. some of these people are complete idiots and don't take care of their system resulting in failure. Than they have the nerve to blame sony and give it a bad review. IT HAS FANS. FANS GET DIRTY. THE DIRT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED OCCASIONALLY. stop giving this a bad review because it is the best gaming console on the market. for me thats 5 stars. i have had my ps3 for 3 years now and not a single problem (and defiantly no red-ring of death). why? BECAUSE I TAKE CARE OF IT! it is a high performance machine. you cant let the fans get blocked. you can't let the usb/ hdmi ports get blocked. and you can't just drop it on the floor and expect it to still work. now stop whining nothing can compare.

My first one broke after 5 months My first PS3 broke, after 5 months. So im left to question if Sony should really be making game systems January 11, 2011
