Pros: Blue Ray player, large 80GB hard drive, exceptional audio. video quality from Shopping.com Still a very expensive console, but it is worth it. The graphics and speed of the games are awesome. from Circuitcity.com I use PS3 about 80% for its media capabilities. It is one of the best blue-ray and DVD upscaling player in the market. from Circuitcity.com The system is great its a multimedia giant with the 80GB harddrive you never run out of space for you music, videos, photos, and games. Seeing Blue Ray movies and high definition games never gets old it looks amazing in high definition( you dont need a high def. from Circuitcity.com Wow I finally bought the ps3. I wanted it for the 4 usb ports, memory slots, gigs and b/c. from Circuitcity.com It took me over a year to justify spending $500 on 'a gaming console'. But it's so much more than a thing to play games on... I wanted the 80gb model so that I could play my PS2 games, and it hasn't disappointed. I love the wireless controller and the graphics are fantastic - even on my old-school television. from Circuitcity.com I thought I was buying a Playstation System 3 but I got alot more I got a entertainment system. It handles Online services, music, video, and unbelieable graphics for the PS3 games. from Circuitcity.com Arrived promptly, simple set-up, easy to navigate, one powerful gaming console. If you are at all apprehensive about this unit don't be. from Circuitcity.com I purchased the PS-3 mostly for the BluRay player. The picture and the sound is fantastic if you have the proper HDTV and sound system. from Circuitcity.com For $499, you get the 80gb PS3 (including wireless connectivity), a rumble-shock controller (that would otherwise cost you $54), one of the very best games for the PS3 (MSG4), and backwards compatibility (for most PS2 games). Sony is about to retire the40gb PS3 (this fall, maybe as early as September), and reprice the NEW 80gb to $399. from Circuitcity.com
