I've had this product for less than a month
Pros: Cheaper Price for The Bundle than Best Buy and Walmart, Free Extra Control, Great Picture, Sound, and 160GB Hard Drive
Cons: None that I can Think of except the Memory stick slots aren't there.
The reason I bought this here was the price was great and it included a free controller. I know how to use the PS3 to the fullest and enjoy every moment using it. Its display on an HDTV is stunning. I would recommend those without a PS3 to get one. The only thing I noticed right away is the Memory Stick slots aren't there, but it doesn't bother because I have USB cables Overall Im glad I bought a PS3 at such a low price.

Pros: Great Graphics, great gameplay
Cons: Loading takes a bit, but I'm just impatient.
Just got my PS3 the other day. So far I'm impressed. NBAlive2010 is hard to play. But I'll get it. Looks great, plays great. Just waitin' on my other controller, and then I'll be really happy. I didn't want to convert from Microsoft, but not paying to play online really clinched the deal.

Pros: Completely understands and utilizes the Blu-Ray concept
Cons: Only rated a 8 out of 10 in the 3rd generation gaming consoles (GameInformer Co.)
This is the ultimate gaming console. It completely understands and utilizes the ultimate HD experience, Blu-Ray. Not only dose it play Blu-Ray movies, the Playstation 3 games are Blu-Ray disks. Witch means they are the top in graphics, HD clearness, and overall gaming. And as an added bonus, the Playstation 3 Duelshock 3 controller has a built in accelerometer, witch tracks the movement of the controller. And the online gaming center, the Playstation Network, is the ultimate online network. Also, unlike the inferior competitor, Microsoft?s XBOX 360?s XBOX LIVE, Playstation Network is free. Also, the Playstation 3 surfs the web with a full HTML browser. And it?s all easy to use. I myself would recommend this product to ANYONE.

Pros: Cost less than a gaming computer and has more games.
Wow, what a buy! Graphics are awesome. Bought the 160 GB PS3. Gaming has come a long way, baby! Sony online gaming for free! You can't beat that. Intenet access for browsing. I usually play on my computer. But gaming computers are very pricey and the selection of games is very minimal. This seemed to be my next step and it was a great decision. I am very pleased with this product.

Pros: LIKE NO OTHER
Cons: MISSING A GREAT FEATURE!!!!
Quick and simple I love the entire system. I have the 160 gb version and having spent the extra money it would have been nice to keep the sd card feature and mini slots for importing media directly to the PS3 and not having to buy all these adaptors to import media through the USB hub. One of which was my sony digital camera. Connecting it directly to the PS3 with the correct cord and still not being able to import the photo's was a pain. I had to transfer all my pictures to an USB flash drive then find the correct file. I was then FINALLY able to import my pictures.
