Not until my Fat PS3 dies. I got mine with that MGS4 bundle though, so mine should last a little while.

I'm really torn about this. I bought the ps3 when it was backwards compatible but it doesn't like playing blu rays most the time,

Wish it had 4 USB ports but still pretty sweet.

Yeah, four would be better than three, but I guess it's nice that they're up front -- that's where I want to plug in most devices, like thumb drive (which I use all the time to play video) as well as the occasional mouse &...
