this system is great .you are able to get online (the internet un like xbox)and it is also free to.the game play is great (hardly no lag) if you have had a360 and it broke and you were mad get this.

from Rggray33, reviews.cnet.com
some do not like the setup of the ps3 network, but it's pretty easy to navigate and free, what more could you ask for.
from BrettZ from Indian Bend Circuit City, www.circuitcity.com
not only this but it also has built in wi-fi as well as internet access capabilities, as the xbox 360 you have to pay monthly for the xbox live service.
from rdmorris123, reviews.cnet.com
"compelling exclusive games are still few and far between;" - i have personally downloaded nearly 50 of the weekly free game demos that come from the playstation network.

from www.amazon.com
if you have a wireless broadband connection in your home, it will connect to nintendo's online feature where you have access to updates, news, weather and can play any of the older game titles online.
from www.amazon.com
more features should be added as the console gets older (more internet channels and the ability to connect to other players).
from www.amazon.com
if your up on all the latest game news from websites, you probably know all of this.

i like to think of it as a suped up gc - with all of the add on features i never got (ethernet ,etc).
from www.amazon.com
i gave a 4 for the slow internet, lack of digital sound and hd support and shortage on component video cables, but the innovation and excercise factors (price, too) kinda make up for that.
