i've had the ps3 for a couple months and it's price keeps lowering, which is now about 500$ for a 60, or 80gb,which is awsome 'cause u get a built in blu-ray player, which usually costs a lot, awsome graphics,dowloadable stuff, and Home is coming out which is going to be a big thing. the online is free and compared to xbox the ps3 will be #1 for a loooooooooooong time, as i said about xbox360, their online you have to pay for, no blu-ray, and no sixaxis. from Circuitcity.com I've only played one game on the PS3 so far. But, I have played several games, including Halo 3 on the other "next-gen" console and I can definitively say, this is the best hi-def gaming experience you can get. The number of items that can be rendered and computed are a big jump ahead of the other console. from Amazon.com All in all I have to give it to Sony: They made a very nice all around game / media system. While the library of games still has a lot of growing up to do, the Playstation 3 has proven itself to be a very nice piece of hardware. from Amazon.com I will keep this short and sweet, this is by far the best next generation console out there. I own one and i love it. from Amazon.com I studied the specs, weighed the options and finally bought the PS3 when my hand was forced due to the discontinuation of the 60GB (fully PS2 compatible version). Yes the graphics are great, as is the audio, you can watch HD movies, listen to SACDs and even your PS2 games will load faster. from Amazon.com The Sony PlayStation 3. The Superior gaming console, the number 1 Blu-ray disc player ever (because it actually has a high performance video processor in it), a media center itself and the elegant design. from Amazon.com Finally purchased a Playstation... probably the best version, so far, w/ good timing to boot, since amazon.com seems to have just been drained of this model... from Amazon.com When I picked up my PlayStation 3 (60 GB), it was mostly due to the fact that the 40GB wouldn't have backwards compatibility. Being a hardcore gamer, I fully expected to own one eventually (I already had a 360 and Wii), but the possibility of backwards compatibility possibly being removed led me to pick it up a bit ahead of schedule. from Amazon.com I bought the PS3 to use mainly as a blu-ray player, but was excited about the amazing gaming and other uses. On paper, it's an incredible piece of technology. from Amazon.com who wouldn't want one? too bad they just recently released the 80gb with motorstorm for the same price now. from Amazon.com
