Sony PlayStation 3 80GB Motorstorm PackSony PlayStation 3 80GB Motorstorm Pack
Rated 5 Stars"The best overall Gaming console/Blu-ray player!" 2008-05-31
Sony has manufactured a gaming console that is above and beyond more advanced than any other gaming console out there. This is more than "just a gaming console". Every one here has pretty much raved about the gaming aspects of it. Sony recently improved it's online experience and has plans for another online experience with the long awaited Sony "Home". What makes this system excellent (aside from it's gaming qualities) for gamers is the ability to easily upgrade the hard drive if you feel the need for a larger one and update the system via ethernet, wireless or flash media. The four usb ports makes adding accessories (like a keyboard or camera) easy.

The Blu-ray player still is rated as the best value. Even more expensive players do not have the full functionality that the PS3 offers. BD-Live and internet capabilities stand it above most existing players. Many current Blu-ray movies are going to be re-released with the extra BD-Live features. An internet connection is required as the PS3 connects to a BD-Live site via the Blu-ray disc and one can do things from playing games to viewing movie previews to whatever else the developers can think of. Sony Pictures, Disney and Fox are the most enthusiastic about adding this feature.

The other thing that Sony is great about is unifying their devices. The PS3 and PSP can link to share content. The PS3 can also link to your pc to share content.

One thing that is still undecided of coming to the US but already expected to release in Europe is PlayTV. It is an accessory that will make your PS3 a DVR. I personally hope this feature comes to the US even though I am a current owner of two Tivo HD with lifetime subscriptions.

These are just a few of the extra features that make the PS3 an incredible home entertainment device. Easy upgrades will make this system good for as many years or longer as the PS2.
