WARNING COMPLETE FOREIGNER HERE TO PS3 If you've seen the thread I started debating wether to choose between a PS3 or 360, you'll know I'm at a crossroads. My biggest question for PS3 users is that is as "bad" as most people make it out to be? I keep hearing of numerous bugs and glitches the system and the system's games has; and that it's just a "bad" system in general. Please prove me wrong on this because I want to go with Sony on this one.

My PS3 has been going through heavy, heavy use for 3 years, and works as well as the day I got it. Plus, thanks to the wonders of the PSN I have my save games all backed up to the cloud so, if I ever need to get a new PS3, I can just continue from where I left off.

Cloud data storage?! Ok, I'm favoring PS3 at the moment haha.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, would you kindly?

Yeah. You need to be a PlayStation Plus member (about $20/ three months, but that's free games every month with the cloud storage), but if you are, you can store your save games for use anywhere in the world.

Personally, I'm glad they aren't making people pay for that crap...

I was in the same boat and ended up going with the PS3 and could not be happy. They both have their pros and cons but for me the biggest selling points were the controller and not having to pay to play online. It's really to each his own.

In the interest of full disclosure: The Xbox also offers cloud save game storage. Gold members only though iirc.

I just beat RDR Undead Nightmare. It was kinda short compared to RDR but I expected that going in but still fun while it lasted.

Such an underrated series. I hope the newest one does well. Btw, does anyone here play Skyrim on the PS3? If so, does it play well? (Sorry for all the questions and thank you guys for answering them!)

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, would you kindly?

I heard most of the swearing from Mass Effect 2 is from one character named Jack. Is that character optional?

No. You have to recruit her but you don't have to do her loyalty mission or use her.

and you just reminded me to start a Mass Effect run through as female shepard to prepare for 3.

WAT!

Since the latest patch, Ive only had one freeze. The framerate is just a tad better, it is running better, one more patch should make it flawless.

@Slapshot - nice work. Be sure to put your impressions up! I wont be getting one any time soon, as I don't have the need for it (too many other games on other consoles ) just yet. But I will keep track of releases and get one somewhere down the line.

Also, downloaded Sly 1. Liking the art style, and the beginning was good.

I bought it but haven't actually played it yet, first thing I did after opening the box was enter the code to download TM: Black and I've been hooked playing that again. Love that game. I'll definitely be firing up the new one soon though, I'm looking forward to seeing how they handled the campaign, it sounds different but still fun.

I only have two final questions. Whenever you guys are playing the console, how often do freezes and other bugs occur? If so, are they "game-breaking"? I had a terrible, buggy experience with Xbox 360, so I'm kind of paranoid about this stuff. Thanks again guys for ushering in a PS3 noob .

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, would you kindly?
