advice needed

Hi all,
After a bit of advice and you guys seem the obvious choice

Due to the slim's price i can now probably swing it past SWMBO to get one

just a few questions that i could do with answers to :-

what do you guys consider the must have exclusives

is there a healthy online community

what are the must have psn games

are there any problems with buying a used console then re-registering online

i'm sure these have probably been asked/answered before, but never really looked into it as i've already got 360,wii...and she wasnt happy with me spending 400 on another console..women huh!!

Thanks in advance guys

Mike

Re: advice needed

MGS4 and Uncharted are must-haves. Best (also cheap!) PSN title is WarHawk. I've never had a problem with borrowed/rented/used games on the system and online. There is a strong online community, with Home becoming better by the week. Get a head-set and get playing.
The PS3 is a fantastic piece of kit - Blu-Ray, wi-fi, games and streaming from a networked PC are flawless. Get one as soon as you can.

Mark.
