The good:

* Swanky design with quiet operation
* All games in high-definition
* PSP-like user-friendly interface
* Plays high-def Blu-ray movies in addition to standard DVDs
* Built-in Wi-Fi
* 60GB hard drive
* Bluetooth support for wireless controllers and Accessories is coming
* Backwards-compatible with PS2 and PS1 titles
* Built-in memory card readers
* Online play is free
* HDMI output with 1080p support
* No external power supply

The bad:

* Pricey
* First wave of games is somewhat anemic
* Doesn't upscale DVDs to HD resolution
* No force feedback (rumble) support in controller
* A USB port on the back would've been nice
* No infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren't compatible
* Glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet
* HDMI cable not included

The bottomline:

Sony's PlayStation 3 may be the most expensive next-gen game console, and its launch titles are not all that impressive, but its swanky design and bevy of features, including a Blu-ray drive, make it hard to resist -- even at AU$999.95.

Very well said. Thanks for the review!

lol..i didnt write it

Hm ... I hope the internet use does not require a cable hooked up to a modem or whatnot like the PS2. My room and the computer are on different stories. other than that, I would hope to get a PS3 eventually.

well what else would it use?

Well, then you should at least credit whoever wrote it in your post.

i want a ps3 i dont want a wii i already have an xbox 360 and it great

Yeah, same here.

AJ

If i were to rate this system, i'd give it an 8/10. I think the 360 is even better than it. Too pricey, graphics are the same as 360's/ have a not-even-noticable-difference set of graphics, and the shiny big black box... Um, huzzah? The game titles that will appear under this system, however, such as Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, etc., will probably be top-of-the-line!
