I agree with you about the 60gig ps3. PSN online is free but you pay for xbox live servers. Its 50 dollars a year. Cheap. PSN servers are super slow and I hate having to update plus some of the updates brick your ps3. The PS2 is still out selling the ps3 and that is the reason Sony stoped backwards compatibility. Sony also made it free for developers to make games on the ps2. This means that they don't have to pay sony at all for making a ps2 game. Its all about money and the ps2 is cheap to make. Sony was losing money on the ps3. The xbox 360 system has been making money. Another thing about ps3 controllers being wireless is not always a good thing. If you use a lot like my friends do. The controller will have issues and randomly shut off. It starts to lose its charge but that is after having it for a while. I am not a sony hater. Its just things that I have seen with the ps3.
