      1) PS3 don't upscale in between resolutions, instead it downscales. If the game is written for 720p and your TV has 480i, 480P and 1080i the PS3 will not upscale a 720P game to 1080i. Instead it will choose 480P. The 360 does not have this problem.

      2) PS3 are silent but they do run HOT like the 360's.

          If games are region free(like sony claimed in the past), then it shouldn't matter.

          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

            just checked, the cheapest shipping option is $74. The ps3 and blueray are region free, but any back compat games aren't according to the website.

              Guys I think the PS3 is going to be fairly reasonable on ebay because of the deluge of systems hitting the site at once tomorrow. After the initial preorder sales have gone thru I suspect the price will drop.

              Abates or anyone else I would stay away from importing because once you take the PS3 online Sony might brick the system if it finds an imported system in the wrong region. You never know.

                Yeah, you never know about the region thing. I wasn't going to get one, just figure I would post it along if someone was desparate.

                  Is eBay going to have the same Seller Requirements for PS3 sales tomorrow?

                    No, those are only for preorders.

                      Reasonable? If you think 1500 bucks is reasonable than maybe. I sold a 360 for 1400 last year. This year we have a more popular system, less supply and more demand. People are going to see 2 grand easy especially after people who werent able to get systems tomorrow morning get home.

                        As a 360 buyer, I would use caution when buying the PS3 at launch. Were I to do it over again I would have waited to buy the 360. Not because of defects, but because the lack of games. Next christmas looks to be a good one for the PS3. Why not wait?

                          So, has Sony changed its stance on the included cables with the PS3? The last time I heard only composite cables came with both SKUs.

                            it has remained that way, but if you have component cables from your PS2, it will work with the PS3
