1UP lists the top 10 PS3 gripes.
"In this day and age, should this stuff still be tolerated?"
If you bought your HDTV a few years ago, there's a good chance it doesn't support 720p resolution. And unfortunately, if you hook up a PS3 to these TVs, the only image you'll see will be in 480p, not 1080i.
Microsoft's Andre Vrignaud believes this may not be fixable either...
Someone got Windows XP running on PS3 by emulating it on Linux! It runs a little slow though because of the 256MB of RAM but i'm sure it'll get tweaked to run smooth as butter
I'll close with this: given the momentum of the Xbox 360 right now and the strong reactions to the Wii's launch last weekend, the PS3 didn't come out swinging hard enough to cement its heralded position as king of the next generation this year.
The two machines are currently fastened together with standard high-performance duct tape.
Machines can be fastened together with your choice of electrical tape, scotch tape or even two-sided padded tape for that sleek look at an additional cost.
Independent reports have been coming in saying that Sony missed it's revised goal of 400,000 units at launch by more than 50%. Indications are that the system can not being made any faster and Sony will struggle to get 400,000 by the end of the year.

$1100 bucks to buy "Contact information" to a person that has a PS3 for sale. It is stated very clearly in the only paragraph for the auction which makes it worse.

I noticed women of ebay posing provocatively — presumably to boost sales. How did this come about? In an effort to limit fraudulent listings, ebay is requiring PS3 and Wii sellers to photographs of receipts, user names, and consoles… So a few entrepreneurs must have recalled their Advertising 101 ’sex sells’ lesson.

To see a REAL PS3 grill is just something I didn't think diehard Sony haters would do. If this grill could cook up a few more launch games I'd actually buy one, George Foreman just got TKO'd with a weener.
