It looks way, WAY better than a PS2, no matter what kind of TV you use.  But there's really no downside to hooking it up to an LCD TV.  It can't damage it any more than any other Blu-ray player would.

Some places are reporting the recall won't affect North America, only Europe.  No confirmation one way or the other yet.

Awesome.  And released the day before my birthday.   

This is the last model of PS3 that will play PS2 games.  Newer models have had that feature removed.

Yeah, that pretty much sucks.  How much money could Terrence Howard have wanted?

Don Cheadle is a top-notch actor, but I don't think he's right for the role. 

I'm at work.  No time to search.   

Just a question. In the states how much does the PS3 sell for and is the 80gb the only system now available? I ask because I want to get this system BUT I cannot afford a $400 purchase at the moment (and if I do well now more SW collecting for awhile) Is the 60gb still out there? (new) I know I dont need 80gb because that is A LOT but if that is all that out I might get it but only if it is cheap..er then 400.

Right now your only official options are to buy an 80-Gig at $399 or preorder a 160-Gig at $499.  If you're really lucky you might stumble across an 80-Gig MGS4 bundle at some out-of-the-way Kmart.  But those are the price points right now, with no drop predicted until March.  Your only other options are a used/refurb model through an online retailer, or a used one off of eBay.
