Anyone looking to pick up R&C for PS3 might want to check out Wal-Mart. Mine had them marked down to $29.87. I got one, but they had about 5 more. They also had ones for under $20 like Timeshift, The Darkness, and a couple others that I can't remember.

As for the space used, remember that the actual space is 320 billion bytes, which is different from how computers (and the PS3) report the space, so 298GB sounds about right. In addition, the PS3 reserves about 12% for its own use.

Thanks for the clarification of 298gb, as long as the space is there, it's all good.

I hate to delete stuffs, so the 320gb hdd gonna last me for a while. Now, organizing your media files on the PS3 is a major pain in the ass. For photos, if you sort by album, you're all set (it's the folder you copied from). For music, sigh, pain in the ass! Sorting on anything will not give me satisfaction... For classical musics, forget about it, they go under Pops (maybe the mp3 description is wrong, but who cares, too much work to fix them all). All i want is to sort them in the folders i copied from the external hdd (like the photos). Videos seem to follow the same sorting mechanism as photos.

I can ask Konami to take it back, but i'm not paying extra shipping fee (i opened the box, remember, i have no idea that was a second PS3 until i opened it). I can contact Konami, but why bother? Waste my opportunity cost? No way... If they track the mistake back to the shipping department and decided to take it back, sure, contact me and pay the return shipping (schedule a pick up too, i'm not gonna waste gas and time).
As for worth the price of $600? Hell no! It's a freaking backward console, no BC, no memory card slots (card readers don't work well over USB, not the same as the 60gb's build-in memory card slots, i tried last night).
If it's a gunmetal 80gb, then yeah, worth it... not b/c a bigger hdd, but at least most PS2 BCs and memory card slots.
Overall, the LE game inside kinda makes up the price a bit. But you can get that from GS for $90 (tax). So, yeah, the other PS3 bundles are still better. Especially those of you got it with the $100 gc back and as well as the 35% eBay Live thingy.
Now, price aside, the gunmetal is actually very luxurious looking console... It has this slick feeling to it. No more finger prints definitely! The matching gunmetal DS3 is awesome too. Of course, it's not really metal or textured coating like i initially imaged it would be, but i'm not complaining...

Sony confirms PlayStation 3 to get download movie service
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has confirmed that a new download service offering movies on the PlayStation 3 is set to launch shortly. The service will go live in the US this summer, according to Kaz Hirai, with a roll-out in Japan and Europe at later dates. Official timings are expected next month. The service will be a direct rival to Microsoft's service over Xbox Live, which currently boasts movies and TV content from a host of partners including MTV, Warner Bros., Paramount and National Geographic, amongst others.
The company said that the PlayStation 3 will be the first Sony product to benefit from video services, with plans to expand video to other products by 2010. As a further sign of Sony's commitment to networked products, this November Sony Pictures Entertainment will offer Will Smith movie Hancock to all internet connected Bravia LCD TVs in the US before it's available on DVD.

If that "HD" in the picture actually means what I think it means: Sony had better be working overtime on fixing their download speeds. No freakin' way am I going to wait as long I expect it'll take to download an HD movie based on their current speeds.

HD Downloads on PSN?

... so we're going there?
In that case... I could drive to Blockbuster, rent the same movie, watch it, forget to return it for a few days and still have it returned by the time a PSN equivalent would take to download.

I've been experiencing this the last 2 weeks as I received a PS3 as a an early bday present for Father's Day. Then you have to install them too... Oh well, at least now you can download them in the background.

1. Playing a PS/PS2 game
2. Playing a PS3 game
3. Watching a DVD
4. Watching a Blu Ray
Which are, I would guess, the four major functions of the PS3. It doesn't even have a low-power download option like the 360, where you can just leave it off overnight, it'll download what's in your queue and shut itself off after it's done.

Yeah, but PSN is free and therefore better. I, and I know I'm not alone, will gladly wait instead of shelling out $$. After all, my time is, literally, priceless so in the end it is I who gets the last laugh.
The PS3 needs to implement Bit Torrent technology for distributing this stuff, obviously.

i don't know if you were trying to do your best Ocelot impression there, but if you're being serious, I don't get it... you'll wait instead of shelling out money, but your time is priceless? Doesn't that work against your argument?
