- Bought it for Blu-Ray, got my game on too...
I used to be a hardcore gamer back in the day starting with CelecoVision, NES, etc, etc. Played tons of games, and havent owned a game system in two years mainly to improve my life and do other things.

Bought this for BluRay only, and was blown away by the picture and sound! Connected this to a 40'-LCD with HDMI and to my stereo, subscribed to NetFlix and it is better than a theater (not just because my sofa isnt all sticky).

What makes THIS the BEST BluRay player is that they constantly update the firmware with improvements and will be compatible with future software needs. Some other BluRay players will also be updateable. I wont start to list all the devices I have that are updateable, but havent seen an update in two years. The PS3 actually has enough people using it that Sony patches it.

Also, some incredible games to play! I def recommend PixelJunk Monsters (PSN ... Read More

- Not just a gaming console!
I bought the PS3 as a Blu-ray player for my HDTV. $400 seemed to be the base price if you were getting a PS3 or virtually any other player out there. Picture quality is excellent, very easy to use. Combine with the Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote and you have a family friendly player.

Nice added features:

1. Jukebox - You can either stream music from your Windows XP/Vista machine as a media player, or transfer files to the local hard drive (I used a flash drive) and play them in a variety of ways. The PS3 even puts up 1 of 3 different screen savers while playing. In addition you can play MP4 (& now DIVX) video files and picture slideshows.

2. PS3 Store - Using my home wireless network, I am able to access the Sony Playstation Store. On the store, I can purchase and download games and game demos, AND recently purchase/download full length TV episodes and movies. ... Read More

- Candidate for storage upgrade but better options are available
Necessary disclosure: I do not own this model but do I own the 60GB model, recently upgraded to 320MB. I am also very familiar with the latest 80GB model (which is basically this one with a larger disk) because one of my neighbors has one and I am the neighborhood's unofficial and unpaid 'computer' consultant :). I also did some research in anticipation of us purchasing a second unit because I promised the kids 'their own' if their grades were going to meet a certain standard.

As compared to the 60GB model (see this model's pluses and minuses and what all PS3s have in common):
______________________________________________
+ Less expensive (I paid [....] for my 60GB PS3)
+ Amazon Blu-ray movies promotion (buy 4 movies from list and get [...] off through end of 2008)
= Wireless Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet network connections
= Blue-tooth for controllers, keyboards, earpieces, ... Read More

- Go with the 80GB
This is a good product but the 80Gb Metal Gear Solid 4 Package is the
way to go if you want to play your old PS2 games and have lots of room
for storage
