Just spoke with my sister on the phone. Her son recently bought a new Play Station 3. He is very impressed with it thus far, after playing only a couple of games. He could only find the system with the 40 GB hard drive but plans on getting another Play Station 3 when the new Socom is released on the system so he and his friends can play games online together.
The controllers are wireless and light weight and don’t require batteries. He bought an extra controller so he could play games with friends. He has been having a blast playing Call of Duty 4 online but he is looking forward to playing some of the other games he bought – Drakes Fortune and Unreal Tournament 3.
When the death of HD was announced he decided to buy a Play Station 3 because in order to compete with the new Play Station 3 the XBOX system now has to either sell a blu-ray add-on to the XBOX system or release a new system with better graphics or more power than the Play Station.
