I crossed over to the dark side (ps3)

Well I did it sold the 360 and got a ps3. I've got to say I like it better. The dashboard is a little more complicated and there are no acheivements, rep, or gamerscore. But I can do without that for the free playstation network. The Blu-ray player is friggin awesome especially considering they have all but officialy beat out HD-DVD now. The built in wireless adapter is also nice and I like that the rechargeable battery is built in to the controller. I was having trouble with some of my rechargeable batteries for the 360 not seating properly into the controller causing it to cut off all the time. The Internet browser is also a added plus but it's kind of hard to use without a keyboard.

I always have one hooked up, and one that I play with. I just switch them every couple of weeks. Battery seems to hold a charge fairly well, but I wish they auto shutoff like the 360 controllers do after inactivity.

Yeah I played for about 5 or 6 hours yesterday and the charge icon never went down on the controller but I got a bluetooth headset to talk smack in call of duty and it only lasted about two hours before I had to charge it.
