I've played on a PS3 in the past--it was an 160GB Slim model, but it didn't have any issues. FATEs tend to get a little hectic because of all the particles and spell effects flying around, but you should be fine. I'd estimate loading times for zones are between five to ten seconds. The graphics are a little "worse" from what I've heard, as far as textures go. But I'm not one to ask about that specifically. I didn't have too much lag in cities, but the loads in the cities could change with beta.
Frame rate is also locked to 30.
The general consensus is that a PS3 is alright if you have no other options, or just would not prefer to use a PC for Windows. My computer does not run Windows, so I'm buying the PS3 version and waiting for the PS4, like some others here.
If not having the utmost graphical fidelity doesn't bother you, you should be alright. You can use a USB or Bluetooth keyboard for chat as well.
