Having spent top money for the futuristic system with Resistance and Folklore, and downloaded GT5 prologue as well as other demos, my blood pressure must have slightly increased during the first few days due to adrenaline + lack of sleep. Being an avid PC FPS gamer, the six-axis felt clumsier than ever when I was playing Resistance. It is just awful to find myself struggling with the controller but not with the game itself. Embarrassing yet can still be dealt with.
The worse is yet to come though, four days after purchase I noticed that the ps3 was not able to read the Resistance game disc. Tried the other one... nothing happened. Tried a few audio cds and dvds... nada. nothing. By then I realized mine must have went kaput! Specifically the lens may have died of whatever unfathomable reason and now I'm left with a ps3 that can do anything except reading discs. To add to the bitterness Sony does not provide support for parallel imported units, and mine happened to be one, as well as all other ps3 in Malaysia. Being one of those lucky 1% failure rate ps3 owner is bad enough, but it gets even worse in countries that are not officially supported for Sony servicing. I now expect hefty charges for the ruined lens replacement. That one thing probably cost more than a quarter of a brand new unit. It hurts to be robbed of excitement in the first week! :(
