Darth, every console in history has had problems of some sort. Some were minor, some were major, most of them the owners never know about, but they were all worked out within a few months. 360 had the overheating issue. Wii had the strap issue. When I say "kinks" I am refering to the backwards compatability, the firmware updates, the lack of consoles to meet demand, very few game selections. Although I love my 360, I am not absolutely stuck on it to the point that I think no other console can beat. All I am saying is that IMO I think it is too early to get a PS3 for me. Here's some of the things I have read.
