Do you own a PS3?

Two of my mates have got PS3's so I don't see much point in getting one myself.

I'm not too impressed with the graphics - although there's more detail in the background the main action doesn't seem much better (although it's on an SDTV) One of them's got a HD display coming so we'll see how it looks then.

The 3 games I've played are Motorstorm, Resistance and Ridge7. Oh and the GTHD demo/game. Motorstorm's OK with the ability to take several routes which cross over a nice touch compared to more linear racing games. The 'sixaxis' motion control is a gimmick though and I soon reverted to the analoguesticks. Resistance wasn't too impressive. FPS's aren't my favourite genre to be fair, but this didn't seem to offer anything over PC FPS games. Ridge Racer, good fun but essentially not too much new over the PS2 versions. Gran Turismo HD felt just like the PS2 version, albeit with slightly better looking background & spectators.

Having said that, it's still doing a good job keeping us away from the growing pile of assignments so it's good but the first generation of games aren't groundbreaking. Much better to come I feel.

It will be interesting to see if your opinion changes at all once you play the PS3 with an HD display connected. Especially GT HD.
