I've heard rumors of many downs and ups to the ps3, mostly from 360 and ps3 owning friends, and I wanted to clarify everything with a bias.

1. Games are only playable by the first consul they are played in. Meaning if I bought a game, played it, then gave it to a friend to barrow, he couldn't play it.

2. Free online gamine?! I knew it was true when ps3 first came out, but is it still avalible?

3. Blu Ray quality is relitively terrible. I really would like this to be top priority, because we're buying the system as a br alternitive.

Anything else you find as an important pro/con along the lines of the above ones would be apreciated.

When answering, please put what type of recent consul you have, if any of the 3 (ps3, 360, wii)

Thanks for your time.
