I FINALLY opened my PS3 today after having bought it like 3 weeks-month ago...I bought a Component Cable for it only to find that this new $299 Version only accepts a SONY PS3 Component Cable...One end of the plug isn't your standard jack, it's a PS3 Specific USB Type deal...
Anyways, I go ahead and connect it with the supplied low quality Composite Cables just to get on with it, and boy was I not prepared for the bombardment of crap I have to go through, JUST to get started...I'm feeling kinda tired mentally, and am in NO mood to start jumping through all those hoops tonight, so I just turned it off and figured I'd start off fresh tommorow. I know, I know, I sound like a lazy prick, but that was just too many questions for me at this late hour...It felt like a DMV Test a little...So Anyways, now I have to return the Component Cables I bought and trade them for SONY Component Cables and read a ton of stuff to get all of My settings correct...I kinda miss the old days of Hook up and Shoot, lol! Anyways, just a rant to anyone who understands/stood my dilemma, of the old days of gaming and simpler times...I know it sounds like complaining, but I'll put up with it, considering all the benefits of Photorealistic Graphics, wireless controllers, wifi gaming, and immersive Surround Sound Audio/End Rant.

Once you get through all the crap of setting it up, you'll freakin' love it. I used to have one, but sold it cause I needed money, but I ended up marrying a guy who has one, and we both love it. We plan on getting one of the new ones just so he and I can both have one to play Call of Duty online together. Trust me, You'll forget about all the hassle of setting it up once you realize how kick butt it is!

I'll take this crazy modern component plug what-have-ya over the VHF prong connector I had to screw into my TV's antenna hook-up to make my Atari 2600 work (then eventually the prongs break off from excessive re-screwing and you have to strip the cable and wrap them around the antenna screws) good-times All that just to play Stampede

what's crazy is I want a PS3 so bad..especially now that the price is lowered, but I've heard a couple of stories like that where they hated the setup or the problems with the cable and it's made me rethink it a little...but after reading Mrs Riot's post it brought the spark back a little
I'm the same way, it was so much better when it was just plug in and GO

Since Uncharted 2 came out I've played nothing but my PS3. I didn't find the setup to difficult. I was done in very little time. If your on the fence about getting a PS3 arashikage tat do yourself a favor and just get it. So many good games on the way. I personally can't wait for the God Of War Collection (never played the originals) and of course God Of War III..............

I'm the same way, it was so much better when it was just plug in and GO Honestly, we have had no problems whatsoever with our ps3 besides freezing sometimes. But we discovered that the reason it was freezing is cause there was hardly any memory left. So after upgrading to a massive hard drive it no longer freezes. So yay! I would suggest either starting off with a ps3 that has the largest hard drive available, or upgrading the hard drive as soon as you get it. It's a VERY simple process too! Just google upgrading ps3 and you'll find directions. All in all, we love ours, and have no problem with it whatsoever. I downloaded nero, and use nero media home on my laptop and desktop to watch movies and play music wirelessly on our ps3 too. It's great! So yeah, just go for it and don't think twice!
