This system is a scratch and dust magnet. Buy a 360 instead. I've only had to repair, or replace my 360 4 times. But I still get to play the 360 about 11 months out of the year because they have only had it for about a month for repairs. At least when you get the 360 back from countless repairs its not scratched.
Edit:(10/10/08) I tried to play GTA 4 today on my 360, and my DVD drive broke. Looks like I will be playing nothing but my PS3 for a couple of weeks. Good thing Socom comes out next week.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 80GB.

The Playstation 3 is a powerhouse of a video game system, but cutting edge graphics and power aren't always the key to success. In almost every way the PS3 is a worthy successor to the PS2. In fact, the only two downfalls and the reason I didn't give it a perfect score is that: 1st - It has a relatively smaller selection of (diverse) games, particularly when compared to other systems, and 2nd - the discontinuing of PS2 support in the later models. I bought a launch 60 GB model off of the internet for that very reason, so I could truly upgrade my Playstation to the next level and have all the relevant features intact. And over time, the PS3's library will grow with new titles.
I'll be honest, I'm a diehard Nintendo fanboy. I used to think I would never touch another system. But then, during the Gamecube era, there was a drought of my favorite genre - the platformer. At the time, the 'cube only had a small handful available, with only Mario Sunshine to lead the pack. On the PS2 side of things, there were Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, and Sly Cooper. I was given by my brother a used, almost-new PS2 system and experienced the option of an entire new library of titles that had never been available to me before. It was then that I had a weird realization of the blindness that über hardcore fanboyism caused; I had denied myself the experience of great games only because I had wanted to show my 'loyalty' to Nintendo. I still am a Nintendo fanboy (and own every system they've ever made), but I'm not ignorant to see that good games exist on all the platforms.
Also, just to throw it out there, it is essential to use a PS3 with an HDTV (preferably 1080p). Anything else is a disservice to capabilities of the system; its true potential is only unlocked with High Definition.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 80GB.

The reason I'm disappointed by Sony, they made two different PS3 80s, only thought there was one, and wanted to be able to play PS2 games. this one doesn't play PS2 games, it plays PS1 and PS3 games only. Other than that the PS3 is great.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 80GB.

The graphics are great, the wireless control is great. The only problem is that I wish it played PS2 games.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 80GB.

Well all I can say is where else can you get a blue ray player, gaming system and internet browser all in one for a price just a little more than a stand alone blue ray player. Very good machine and look forward to lots of RPG games in the future to play on this machine along with all the new movies in 1080pGet more detail about PlayStation 3 80GB.

Alright, I'm not a huge gamer so I got the PS3 mainly because of its blu-ray drive. Of course, the fact that it was a gaming console made it all the more worthwhile. Bluray has been fantastic and I can't go back to DVDs now because of the "low" quality. The PS3 is a great movie player, it's playback quality is smooth and I don't have any complaints at all.
While playing bluray movies it is easy to navigate through all the menus and I've experienced no hiccups or slowdowns. I might recommend getting the sony bluray remote if you don't want to use the game controller, it's not the most intuitive for movie playback.
People have said PS3's are noisy but even during the quietest movie scenes I could hardly hear the unit.
Another bonus is its ability to connect to your computer on the network and play movies. When I'm lazy it's nice to not have to go upstairs to get the laptop and instead just access the laptop through the PS3. There's additional software you have to buy but I think it's worth it.
Hooked up via HDMI -> DVI connection with no problems. Get more detail about PlayStation 3 80GB.
