The best thing that could happen to the PlayStation line. Pros: The build quality is top notch, not a single backlash. Built-in power supply (unlike X-box) A very comfortable joystick, an innovative thing like a touchpad and a column on the joystick. Quick and most importantly convenient HDD replacement. The noise level is in a fairly comfortable zone, no stupid "reads" of the disk 400 times in one game Cons below: All games, unlike the previous generation, all games are put on the HDD instead of playing from the disk . stupidly I got disks and now the 500GB HDD has to be cleaned to play anything else except 7-10 games
