    OMG lol

    where is the update to play your music at the same time as playing my game
    this is a joke
    i remember before the ps3 came out
    they use to advertise it as a multi app machine but it can do 2 things at the same time loool
    is this funny or is it just me ?
    and what about the to small USB cable that come wit the joypad another joke
    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
    come on please SONY wake up please
    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
    can someone help me out on this one
    because i feel a bit lost lol
    PLAYSTATION 1 better visual then PS3 loooool
    yeah i know we get updates now them days
    but we get crap updates what about the one we really need
    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.
