[QUOTE="JCChaconJr, post: 20904, member: 834"] Hi all! I just wanted to add a few things... Bluetooth stereo headsets will work - But they only work to transmit chat audio. Sony's PS stereo headset will do simulated 7.1 stereo sound AND chat audio. Technically, it's a Bluetooth headset, but uses a special dongle in order to work its magic. The PS3 has hands-down the EASIEST method for backing up your data, thanks to the built in backup/restore utility. I've gone from the original 60GB to a 320GB, and recently got a 1TB drive to upgrade again! You can backup to any USB external HD, then import after installing a new drive and formatting it. :) As for accessories, if you don't go for the PS Stereo HEADSET, at least get the Bluetooth headset. I have the original one which is crystal clear, so I would expect that the current 2.0 version is just as good. I used to play my Xbox more often than my PS3, but lately, quite the opposite is true.
