The PlayStation 3 is a great system, especially the 60 GB version. Full backwards compatability with the PS2, which the newer versions (specifically the slim lines) don't. There are a ton of great games for this system (MGS4, Uncharted 1 and 2, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, Heavenly Sword, Infamous just to name a few) that are exclusive to the PS3. Not to mention the BluRay drive which allows you to watch BluRay movies on the system.
However, I have suffered from the infamous "Yellow Light of Death" on my PS3. I bought my 60 GB system in May of 07, and it lasted until June of 10. So, yeah, 600 bucks for a system that only lasted three years, disappointed to say the least. I did used the system a lot, but there were certainly down times when I wouldn't touch it for days at a time, so it's not like I did not take care of it. It is something to be aware of.
Also, do NOT buy the PS3 60 GB system used! I cannot stress this enough. There is a temporary fix for the YLOD involving taking the system apart, using a heat gun, and putting the system back together. This is a temporary fix that will only last around a month, a few days if unlucky. Bascially, if I wanted to, I could use this temporary fix and it will work fine and sell it to some you. It will work fine, for about a month, then you have nothing but a paper weight. Just wanted to throw that out there.
I am going to buy a new slim line PS3, because I loved the system so much and had such a great time with it. It's worth another $300 to me. It just sucks that I have to buy a new PS2 now so I can play my old PS2 games, but hey, what are you going to do?Get more detail about PlayStation 3 60GB.
