ThisIsTheGirl wrote:OK, so as the yearly windfall approaches and I'm getting more and more excited about buying one of these lovely machines for myself, I'm starting to wonder if I should be taking note of any recurrent issues amongst PS3 owners.
I've asked the one and only PS3-owning friend I have, but he's a bit of a nutjob and I don't trust everything he says, so I'm looking for common themes here from folks who actually use the machine regularly, so please only respond to me if you own one or have clocked up at least 30 hours on one. I'm wondering stuff like:
ThisIsTheGirl wrote:How is the wireless connection? Has it ever caused issues for you when playing? Has anybody been forced to use ethernet cable as a result?
ThisIsTheGirl wrote:What's the deal for watching BD discs? Do you pretty much have to buy the BD remote control?
ThisIsTheGirl wrote:How is the sound? Anybody here using the optical outs to hook the console up to an AV receiver (which is what I'm planning to do)
ThisIsTheGirl wrote:When you buy an older movie on BD, do you still get the astonishing clarity which you see in stuff like Spider-man 2 on BD, or is it a lot grainier? Do movies that were shot in digital look a helluva lot better on BD than older celluloid transfers?

ThisIsTheGirl wrote:Do you all use Bluetooth headsets? Can I just use the same one which came with my phone?

ThisIsTheGirl wrote:What, if anything, annoys you about the console?
ThisIsTheGirl wrote:If I buy one "unbundled", which three games would you recommend as Day One purchases?
ThisIsTheGirl wrote:I'm sure I have more to ask, but this is the stuff which is bugging me right now....
ThisIsTheGirl wrote:The 60 gig ones are almost impossible to find in the UK now - so I'm destined for a 40. I won't miss the backwards compatibility so much, and I'm hoping that with the "stream from your PC" feature, the amount of drive space won't be an issue - does this sound right?
Another question: with its scary processing power, do you sometimes feel that you're sharing a room with the Monolith from 2001?

I have an upscaling DVD player, and i've noticed that on some dvd's, motion can suddenly look too smooth - like video. It's a minor grievance of mine. It's worse if the film is black and white.

Are you watching pan&scan versions of movies, or letterboxed?

You could stimulate both the Amercian tarrif system and support a foriegn market by getting into the PS3 game.
