I'd buy a second one for that price. Just so I wouldn't have to fight when I want to use it.

everyone has a little buyer's remorse when making a substantial purchase. Its just that you feel a little more remorseful when it happens to be a PS3.

Ouch. If you get stuck with it you can still have Sony repair it. They will charge you but you will still probably end up under $400 total.

1. Plug the power cord into the wall.

2. Switch the power supply on the back on. o-|. O is off, the | is on.

3. Touch the on button by the disc slot. Its on the flat area with the I/O thing by the lights. Its not a button, its a touch sensor. The middle is the disc eject.

Once the On/Off switch on the back is turned on, The PS3 has touch controls, you simply touch the controls embedded within the plastic. For instance, once you put a Blu-ray Disk in, to eject it, you simply glide your finger over the (dash arrow) in front to have the disk ejected. The on/off controls are the same, but take a little longer of a touch to activate. once you get it to work, it will be like the "snap" award given to some games here on GameSpot reviews...... way cool controls.

Keep the PS3, you will be able to play music, movies, and games from it. Enjoy.

For your first games... Play Heavenly Sword, then Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, they are awesome PS3 exclusive games.

You could also connect a controller up to it with a usb cable and push the big round PS button to turn it on if you can't figure it out. As long as you see the red light on the front it will work.

Clearly a fakeboy. Read the instruction manual, it's there for a reason.

And 250 for a Ps3 is sweet. If i could snag "Hagane" for that, i'd be a wealthy cow right now.
