Hey Rich,
My 11 year son and I are both on PSN. The little bugger stole my ID, so he goes by "Bobinstlouis". He plays LBP and has quite a "crew" in his friends list.
Both of us are also on COD4 MW and COD4 MW2.
My PSNID is "KryptosPhantom".
Add us up for a good time.
But yea, it's a great machine for all around DVD, DVD-A, BlueRay, gaming, etc..etc.....
Although I would recommend the remote for DVD use as opposed to the gaming controller.
I'll trade you that RAM of yours for my HDMI to DVI adapter.
We've also got Netflix, but have never tried it through the PS3.
Bob
