I holds good promise, but atm I would call it bad.
The Good: good potential for good games, a much improved controller. relatively small and relatively low noise.
The Bad: Horrible powerconsumption in standby mode (if you don't want to kill the Electric bill turn the thing off). Few games atm that are not third party, worth playing. PSN not yet having anything but indie games (logical since it is a relatively new launch, this will get fixed).
The Ugly: be it bad coding or a reveal of a slow CPU, I can name atleast 4 games that chugs gets crippled framerates and odd slowdowns. (now tryied on two different systems similar results so not bad unit). I:SS drops in most medium combat scenes, and neon sprint absolutely tanks the fps. This is bad. Resogun sometimes suffer slowdowns that is not a slow mo effect at odd intervalls (often when alot of destruction happens) merc Kings were unplayable for a while). KZ:SF could get minor chugging, but far from as noticable as the other games.
If this is just due to coders learning to code for multithreaded or the cpu is hampering the rest of the system I don't know. But it is NOT a good first impression.
So why Did I state that it was good? well it does hold quite alot of promise if Sony pulls itself together, so it does have good potential, but atm it is rather lackluster which I hope is due to the coding.
