Hey everybody. I thought it might be cool to get together and share what we know about the PlayStation 3. My own personal experience has been extremely good, but as a member of Sony's Gamers' Advisory Panel I know people have problems with the console. So let's hear it, the good, the bad and the tragic.

If you know any game reviewers who'd like to contribute to the discussion, please invite them. Same goes for any video/audiophiles or Linux experts who exploit the PS3.

Also, this forum could be a great place for jumping off into online gaming or meeting up in Home. You may not want to publicize your PS3 nick. My suggestion would be to use Private Messages. If anybody'd like my handle, please zip me a PM.

I joined up. I have a launch 20 GB PS3 that I have upgraded the HDD on. I added a 320GB earlier this year when I filled up the OEM one. I don't mind publicly sharing my PSN handle; MaddMaxx51. Although if you send a request just let me know that you are from the Giraffe/SDMB board. That way I don't block you for being a stalker.
