Every game site out there is asking that. Read them. Still, I
think that Sony has one of the worst reputations in the world
for building junky failure-prone low-end dvd players. That is
not an exaggeration at all. And I strongly suspect that the
PS3 will be right in that catagory. I would not touch it with
a 10 foot pole. On the other hand, Sony builds very nice
high end TVs. Only problem with them, is they are not very
compatible with other vendor equipment. You have to buy
all Sony, and all at one time. Sony does not even stay
compatible with itself. And, if you buy an extended warrantee,
that does not mean you will get a replacement in a reasonable
amount of time. Sony will ask you to box and send all your
stuff to their repair depot, and your gear will be gone for at
least a month .. more like 2 months ... and then it will break
again in exactly the same way. Get ready for that cycle
until your warrantee runs out ... or you go buy an Xbox360.
Regards getting your money back .. no freaking way.
