Wanted another Media player for the bedroom was going to plump for
another 360, but then had a change of heart at the last minute and
bought an 80GB PS3 and although the price seems at first steep, you
don't have to buy a separate WI-FI dongle thingy and you don't have to
pay for the live service, so it works out not much more. Also ideally
suited for the bedroom as when trying to watch a film or whatever
without waking the missus it doesn't sound like I've started up a leaf
blower.

I'm not fully converted yet though and the 360 will remain my main
machine but I'm suitably impressed and it's nice to have the choice, I
can see the WII gathering even more dust now though.


What you will discover is it's the best media player on the market. You
will soon after discover there's little more to it than that :)

tbh, in this day and age you could build a Media PC, with Bluray and
HDMI for less than the price of a PS3.

i really am torn with the PS3.

i want one, but i don't know why, and i know if i did get one it'd
probably rarely get used for gaming and, unlike the Wii, it's a bit
expensive to have *just* for the system exclusives imo.

which is pretty much why i haven't bought one yet.
