Its been discussed, its been argued, its been well, pretty much everything.
Once you eliminate all the people with those grievences, not an awful lot is going to be said. The fact of the matter is that the supposed "next generation of gaming" is no closer to 99% of people than it was 6 months or a year ago. Just because a handful of people actually have the system, doesn't change the fact that the rest of us can only look at screenshots until it becomes available. Or affordable. Or appealing.

Oh, and add "Lack of High Definition Television" to the list. Next generation games won't look next generation without one. I know virtually no-one with an HD ready TV. To make the PS3 truely worthwhile, it seems you have to spend as much as you would on a PC to get it... Unless by a miracle a PS3 game actually starts selling itself on next-generation gameplay instead of graphics.
