  The PS3/MetalGearSolid4 bundle is not only the perfect PS3 bundle, but is also the perfect console. And by the way, I didn't have enough space in the pros section to write that this PS3 model is compitible with Super Audio CD. It's a shame that sony stopped making bundles like this.

  Awesome System! Great BlueRay to Boot!

  by psgmolina on December 6, 2008

  Pros: Love the backward compatibility to PS2 games. The Blue Ray picture and the sound are amazing. Glad I upgraded

  Cons: System is kind of loud, does not really make a difference since i crank up the my home theater anyway.
  
  Some sequences in the Metal Gear game can get kind of long however they blend in nicely.

  Summary: Glad I made the purchase. Great system overall!

  The more I get used to it, the better I LOVE it!

  by dprllm on October 16, 2008

  Pros: All the upgrades are fantastic options. You get more out of it as your skill and on-line/multiplayer use increases. I haven't cracked the surface yet. BluRay is A1 movie player: great in-depth extras on most discs.

  Cons: It is addicting and can keep you from going to bed til after sun up!
  And it is a Power Hog.

  Summary: Get the upgrade if you can afford it. You won't be sorry you did!

  Summary: I was very reluctant to buy this system for a few reasons. The main concern was it has a horrible library of games so far and its been 2 years already. The second reason was my girlfriend is going to kill me when she finds out but that's not too bad.
  
  On the other hand, the idiots at Sony in a sense forced me to buy it. My original intention was to wait this holiday season for the confirmed 160GB edition system. That was until I called Sony to ask if this new system will be backwards compatible. Their answer in short, "no". The reason being Sony was losing millions, if not billions, of dollars. That is the result of of people buying the system just for its blu-ray capabilities and PS2 playback. On top of that, the fact that the PS3 has blu-ray is a luxury Sony is paying hefty for.
  
  And to think, I payed $550 for the system to play 2 games that haven't even come out yet; God of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5. Sony fans have been patient and we expect Sony to deliver.

  Best overall console

  by LordSquee on August 16, 2008

  Pros: Blue Ray + DVD Upscaler + game console all in one

  Cons: Online play is not as good as the X360, Less RPG's made, mouse + Keyboard with game are almost none existent

  Summary: This is not a console anymore its a lot closer to the PC, so mouse & keyboard implementation should already be made 100% for all FPS games with no stupid limitation if and when the put the option in the game.
  
  For me this is a major drawback that prevents the PS3 to have a 10/10 (I know this is not sony's fault but the game developers), but otherwise I am extremely pleased.

  Absolutley Awesome!

  by resheal on July 31, 2008

  Pros: What is there to say ... Everything!

  Cons: Only one I can think of is the lack of infrared compatability, it would be perfect if my Harmony remote would control it.

  Summary: This is one fantastic device by itself, much more so with the Dual Shock 3 controller and Metal Gear Solid 4 thrown in for the same price. Blu ray video playback is simply stunning, with audio to match. The built web browser is too cool, wi-fi works great, and hi def gaming is soooo sweet. This device has lived up to it's reputation and exceeded my expectations.

  Summary: Metal Gear Solid 4 really makes this system shine. The graphics, sound, and story are phenomenal. No wonder this game got a 10/10 at Gamespy.
  
  As for the system itself, initial setup was easy; however, actually using the system was altogether another story. First, trying to control DVD via the game controller is a pain and took a while to figure out. The buttons are sensitive so if you drop the remote onto a table, you’re likely to find that it engages a button causing random movie functions like chapter forward, rewind, or main menu. It is easy to hit the wrong button as well and find yourself in the wrong scene. To top it off, the controllers are Bluetooth, so there’s no way you can use your Universal Remote (even the Harmony) without an adapter. Adapters cost about much as the off-the-shelf Sony Blu-Ray remote…so you might be best just taking the sales person’s advice and buying the PS3 remote control ($19.99 at Target).
  
  Connecting to the wireless home network took about 2 hours due to poor documentation and a lack of support from Sony and Linksys. A search through newsgroups showed a HUGE knowledge deficiency with networking the Playstation-3 and many people had similar problems. However, as a network engineer, I was able to figure out the DNS problem and get the thing connected. For those without the networking know-how, this could be a serious problem because it impacts both wired and wireless connections.
  
  Using the manual settings didn’t work…I had to use the automatic detection and input my wireless router’s IP address (192.168.1.1) into the DHCP “hostname” field. If you skip this step, you’ll still get an IP, but the DNS will timeout…even if you have the correct DNS settings.
  
  In any case, despite the networking and controller challenges, the system is still fantastic. It integrates with Vista Media Center well and streams audio/video from the PC almost flawlessly, even across a wireless connection. You can go out and detect any Media Center PCs on the network that have been shared and browse media as if you were on the PC itself. This is an easy way to get music/video from your PC to the rest of the house without buying Media Center Extenders or adding iPods around the house (I use the multi-zone function of my Yamaha receiver to push audio to the speakers in the other rooms).
  
  80GB still seems a bit light on the HD space in the age when 1TB drives are coming on the market and specially when Blu-Ray games require 5-10GB of space; but this is a small complaint as my collection of active games is small. On a whole, this is an excellent system for the price.
