Sony PLAYSTATION®3 160 GB Black Console

console has excellent graphics and you should buy this bundle because it brings a game that would normally cost $60 and i don't think you would mind paying $40 more for double the space capacity.
from www.bestbuy.com
this console is great for the price cause the xbox 360 doesn't have wireless built in and much more that the ps3 has and if you buy those stuff for the 360 it is going to cost much more.

it will not cost you a yearly or monthly fee to play online.

this console is truly amazing, and the only real downside is it's cost.
from babs from pittsburgh, PA, www.circuitcity.com
the cost of it is so great.
from www.amazon.com
my next point - i know it only costs $600, but can sony include a game disc or a blue ray disc?
from www.amazon.com
it does play standard dvds and has a wired connection to the internet (but not wireless)there are a lot of great games out there for it, but your internet game play does cost you an additional fee.
from www.amazon.com
think about it, a blue ray disc player cost well over $300.00 bucks so you are saving tons of money by just buying this one console for the new incredible price of just $499.00.
