Steering wheel FTW!
P.S. The PS3 40GB that was just released has been the top seller since it's release at Gamestop/EB and the PS3 has been the top selling Blu-Ray player since they came out. It's not going anywhere...
it's not there is a problem with it as much as live offers so much more ie: downloadable games, movies, tv shows etc. when the ps3 network gets to that point you will have to pay for many of those.
Also, keep in mind that despite the PS3 online play being ostensibly free, Sony and its third-party publishers--just like Microsoft and Nintendo--will be aggressively pushing "micropayment" transactions (additional levels, in-game extras, retro games, and other goodies) that will cost users. Instead of the points-based payment system found on Microsoft and Nintendo's networks, the PlayStation Store sticks to dollars and cents--users can simply transfer cash to their PlayStation 3 Wallet via credit card or with prepaid gift cards.
