Just to drop in a little information about my recent purchase of a Playstation 3 gaming system. So far the killer app has been Casino Royale on Blu-ray. I own one game, Full Auto 2, I have played it once.
Every week or so I go down to the local store, look at the variety of games and the sad truth is that the only ones I really want to play, I already have for Xbox 360. The gaming choices on this platform are really slim.
There are new releases on the way, most notable are indicated in bold:

It’s pretty scary though. I already have nearly 30 games for Xbox 360 and even if I bought every game I actually wanted in the next month, I would have 5. There are way more Wii games I intend to buy instead.
My other big complaint so far is that I really don’t like the controller. It’s too light and feels cheap. I miss rumble. I want a more significant controller.
I am using the media capabilities some, I have ripped a few CDs to it. I tried to photo viewing. I am not saying I hate the PS3, I am sure I will grow to love it when games like Assassin’s Creed come out, maybe a good RPG or two. But so far it’s been a slow romance. The Xbox 360 and Wii are pretty far in the lead in my home.

Nice design! kabababrubarta
I would remove Enchanted Arms from your list of notables and add The Darkness, Heavenly Sword and Lair. I played Enchanted Arms on the 360 and thought it was so bad that I’m still trying to find a way to sue the game designers for emotional damages.
On the other hand, The Darkness, Heavenly Sword and Lair are all going to be big hit titles. Of those three, Heavenly Sword and Lair are currently PS3 exclusive titles.
Personally I’m a PC gamer. Despite one or two games, I find the majority of them quite shallow.
kabababrubarta » Thanks!
Armandos » Funny, with the exception of Lair which I didn’t play, I didn’t like Heavenly Sword of The Darkness. But this is an old post, so I apoligize for the innacuracy of the list
How to overclock your CPU » This is a pretty old post, my opinion of the PS3 has changed quite a bit. Ninja Gaiden Sigma, MotorStorm, Resistance: Fall of Man and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune were all fan freaking tastic!
