I might be late on this, but did you guys read the thing about the controller having to be plugged in every time you turn the system on for it to actually work as a wireless controller?

Not sure where this came from, but read this:

The controller, while using Bluetooth and therefore being wireless, needs to be connected once to the machine by USB cable prior to use so that the machine can detect the cable (pairing process). This process will be necessary every time the console is powered off then on.

The lithium battery inside the controller is also recharged using USB connection. Approx. 2.5 hours of recharging is required for a maximum of about 30 hours of play. The controller can be used even if the battery runs out of power by connecting it to the console (USB). However, as the battery cannot be replaced once it becomes unusable (ceases to recharge), the controller has to be replaced or sent for repairs.

All of those titles will be out at Launch.

I haven't heard anything about the controller having to be connected every time. If it's true, it doesn't sound like a hassle really. Sounds like that the controller doubles as a wireless and wired one which is nice. And since it's USB I wonder if it can be used for your computer... That's something that's really nice about the 360 controller.

Ya, ya, that's it. That was pretty fun. Had a Burnout feel to it minus the ability to explode on command of course.

^They are actually reporting some bugs Brickside. Several hundred games for PS1 and PS2 don't play on the PS3 at the moment and will require patching. Whether or not that's enough to atler a buying decision is up to you, but it's the first to be reported from what I hear.

Frankly, I'll never trust Sony's reliability on launch/first 6 to 9 month systems, after the way my PS2 slowly died over the last couple years. That machine was a piece of crap, and I wish my brother had waited until they worked everything out to buy one.
