This is so far the best system out on the market, Blue Ray 1080p is life like as well as game play I have beaten all games with in a week of playing them hope the will become more complex as new titles are released. The down fall is if you don't have a HD Tv 1080i, 1080p, 720i. ECT. game is played in 480i which is no better then X 360, but if you got a HD tv then you can get no better picture and sound both in game play and in movie format 60G hard drive is nice and fast with no lag on downloads or saving games, People say is overpriced but cheapest 1080p dvd player is $999.00 and this is the same thing with gaming only going to get better as techs push the system to the limits you will really see it shine over the others out there, only dislike is the lack of games and difficulty of them, and the constant updating of software all though free still a pain, Online game play is free as is downloads from Sony's website this is a plus if you like online gaming, And the Bluetooth remotes are Sick I can play from across the house with out missing a click, Bottom line is you get what you pay for and yes this is Alot but it is more then gust a nother game console, Hope this help's you decide wether the PS3 is for you or not ?
