hd/dvd player in one..can be hooked with the psp..the ps3 doesn't have the best games for now, but it will all come in the middle of the year..
from customer from sacramento,, www.circuitcity.com
i dont even have an hd tv yet and i can tell the difference between it and the ps2.
from www.amazon.com
it has no high definition dvd functionality, this must be purchased separately at $199.
from www.amazon.com
in my opinion, the ps3 graphics were way superior and amazed me even before i plug it through hdmi, which xbox lacks at the moment.
from www.amazon.com
it is slower, clunky and the text even on hdmi doesn't look crisp, but is quite useable.

from Stewie20 from Silver Spring, Md, www.circuitcity.com
i brought this system and it turned out to be great it had the full features and goes really good with hd tv's.
from www.amazon.com
it comes with hd cables for sound and video and also standard.
from www.amazon.com
this is well worth it if you have hdmi hookups and plan on downloading a lot of hd content via live.
from www.amazon.com
it automatically connects to my pc with windows media center and streams all my movies and photos to my hdtv, which look great in hi-def.
from www.amazon.com
if your a new buyer, the hdmi cable and 120 gb hard drive adds up to about $200 seperatly, but this bundle sells it for only $80 more than the premium system.

from www.amazon.com
as for graphics, yeah the wii can't output in high definition, but it is capable of more than people give it credit for.
from www.amazon.com
it would have been nice if they provided hd abilities in this so you would not be looking at an alternate gaming device considering the latest advancements in technology.
from www.amazon.com
in doing so, they've made us spend $249.99 on a system that does not do anything in hd, and a system that has far too many ds game ports to the wii.
from www.amazon.com
i know it doesn't support hd but games still look beautiful running in 480p.
from www.amazon.com
graphics might not be high definition, but it looks very close to the xbox 360 and ps3 when not running in hd mode.
