White Playstation 3 on eBay
Getting hold of a PS3 can be hard enough by itself wherever you live, but with the only color you can get your hands on being black at the moment this custom console is even rarer. If you want to be special and have the chance to boast then you could put a bid in for this white PS3. It has been very carefully painted with gloss paint by PS3center.com and looks very different (plus controllers might be hard to get hold of). When I write this the price is at $1,425 with less than five days left. You can expect that price to surge over the last two days if it sells like other PS3s on eBay.

Gears of War is a fantastic game, I'll give you that. But consider how much time developers have had to work with the 360 system, harnessing it's potential, etc. How about PS2?? Good example, consider FFXII or God of War vs. some of the first games that came out for PS2 like Timesplitters, etc.... HUGE difference in graphics, rendering, design, etc. Give the PS3 some time... even Sony admits, they are only beginning to tap into the power of that 3GHz Cell processor and graphics card.
Resistance is a 1st gen game, and frankly IMO they did a fantastic job on that for a release game (dissapointed it was only 720p though). So be down on Resistance if you want to.... but have you played the Gran Turismo HD demo in 1080p @ 60fps they just released yet!?!??!?! Ahahahahaha, play that on a 1080p screen, then come post again and we'll see if you've changed your mind.... maybe you will... maybe you won't..... :D
Yes, the PS3 has been, and continues to be plagued by bugs, issues, etc. So have many release versions of systems in the past, this is something to be expected. But, for those of us who have been waiting for years, and have the big screen HDTV's to see the detail, it's a breathtaking achievement, thank you Sony.
And the Bluray discs are amazing! Who cares if they're hard to find in a store and pricey, get them from Netflix!! DVD look grainy and gritty to me now.... it's almost a shame I ever watched a BD.... I think my love of DVD has been shattered forever.... R.I.P. DolbyDigital & 480p.....

Also, if you think about it, as freakin pimp as 1080p looks on a TV, it's really not that high a res for a graphics card to render.
Thanks for the correction! :)
Don't get me wrong man, I am a SONY fanboy! Every electronic component in my home is SONY branded except my console and my clothes. :D I just couldn't see me spending that much for the console! I just hope they can get all that juice from the processy as they say they "can" for the sake of PS3 owners.
