I heard a few things about the PS3 having some problems when it first came out. Of coarse, older game systems always seemt to be sturdier than the newer one's. (for example, dropped my gameboy colour thousands of times, not a dent. Dropped my SP once from my knee to the floor and it snapped in half. I keep mu DSi locked and bound) I wish I had one of tlos games for my PS2. I only have the one on DS smilie I had to borrow my friends...

I've had my PlayStation 2 for nearly ten years now, and I will happily continue to use it, I used to own a PlayStation 3 for about a year or two but it broke down, couldn't fix it and had to throw it away, I want to buy another one though.

I saw on spyro ps3 version when they fly their wings sortal wobble against the wind. I would really want a ps3, I don't think its really fair that they didn't pay much attention to the ps2 and wii version. :L On my wii version, there s arandom blob of fire on the feild in the valley of avalr, by the tree and all the time you get these random sound effects because some nutter who preowned it scratched it. :L

Me to! The graphics on the PS3 are awesome plus on the PS2 Spyro and Cynders wings look as flat as paper and they are not as shiny
