if your pad power dies u have to plug it and when you do so that mean or you stop and let charge or you play with your face in the screen

i bought the PS3 full price and im far from happy with it
but for now it seems to be th best thing on the market in my eyes anyway
one other thing i remember our first little grey box called playstation i use to put a cd on it and like by magic i would have some phat visuals pop on my screen but now i got the NEXT GEN KILLER MACHINE called PS3 and when i put a cd in i get some very really very poor and so so so dissapointing crap visuals

because i feel a bit lost lol
PLAYSTATION 1 better visual then PS3 loooool

i think SONY need to wake up
well that’s about it i just needed to say my piece
cya
PS: and stop the bloody remakes of the sequels of the remakes lol
we want new original games please
this interactive add in 2008 is a joke when hd dvd had it in 2005 among other things. all those features were around in the hd dvd format but it to bad sony won the war by paying for it. i guess they had to to keep the ps3 from being a flop. umd, mini disk, and betamax all failed prior to bluray.
