you might want to wait till sony fixes their (hopefully temporary) PSN problems before going out and buying one (unless it's the slim model). But other than that, the ps3 seems like an overall good console to own. source:

Well, it really depends on what kinds of games you like/want. If you're looking at the exclusives, The PS3 has every type of game but lacks in the amount of games per genre (except for the FPS genre, which the XBox360 has the best lineup for). However, I'm assuming that you do own a 360, which it sounds like you don't. So, if you don't own a 360, then it's probably for the best. However, if you do own a 360, I'd be much more cautious before you go buy it.

Yeah, no 360 here. The Wii actually got me back into buying a video game system. The last video game system I had before was a SNES. But I did get my fair share of ps and ps2 action in college. Anyways, not too interested in 360 because it doesn't strike me as being so versatile...

Me, I am thinking about buying this console, since there seems to be a little circle surrounding the PS3-XBOX360 consoles...
Of course, I plan to buy a 60GB console and upgrade the hard drive. The functionality of the 60GB PS3 is too much to give up.

How much does it cost to upgrade the hard drive?

It's free to upgrade the hard drive since you can easily do it yourself. There are YouTube videos that show you how to do it. All you have to pay for is the hard drive itself. Amazon has 500GB hard drives listed for around $90. I'm planning on upgrading to 500GB sometime before August.

i would for bluray,for it comes 2nd to online pc gaming.

Yeah same,because we all bought our PS3's just for some blu-ray films.

Actually, this is exactly what would make me buy it. A dedicated blu-ray player (that just happens to play a couple of ps3 games that i'm interested in.)

With a Wii, 360, Saturn, PSP, DS x 2, PS2, a desktop PC and 3 laptops, I clearly have no need for another gaming system. But for some strange reason I don't have a blu-ray player.
