Last thanksgiving shopping season I picked up an HD-DVD player on sale. Needless to say it didn't last long in the format war (even though I loved it). I was going to pickup a blu-ray player and my wife didn't want to get caught with another piece of junk now that we're digitally downloading movies thorough netflix using the 360 I have. She suggested getting a PS3 so if blu ray goes coput, I can still game with it.
Unfortunately after using it for a day, I am very disappointed. I like the blu ray movies but there are some things I really don't like.)
* The controller is tiny (no my hands aren't huge)
* The system (80 Gb) came with a wireless controller and a really short USB cable. I have to either stand close to the TV or just leave the system running when I'm not using it to charge.
* The interface seems really clunky compared to the NXE. It just doesn't seem very intuitive.
I do like the built in wireless. I played MGS (after the 8 min install) for a little while before going back to my xbox. I guess I just overpaid for a blu ray player. Maybe I'll give LBP a try... Just having buyers remorse.
Adding a poll just because I'm curious. (now back to loading software / games on the new laptop I just picked up)
