I think the new PS3 is way overrated, and way too expensive!! I don't think you need one!
Get a Nintendo Wii! They are much less expensive. You can download old NES, Nintendo 64 and Sega Gen games. You can play GameCube and something else on them besides the Wii games. You can surf the net. Let me check on the "something else" and get back to you. :-)
Wii Information:
"Wii Shop channel: This is where users go to download video game content, including classic video games originally played on the NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGrafx platforms. Here the users may buy Wii Points with a credit card or redeem a Wii Points Card purchased at retail to add points to their account, then redeem points to download these Virtual Console games. Users also can use points to download the Opera browser used in the Internet Channel."
"Q: Is the Wii backwards compatible?
A: Yes. The Nintendo Wii will be able to play all titles in the Nintendo GameCube library. On the right side of the Wii console are ports for GameCube controllers and memory cards. In addition, all GameCube peripherals, such as the drums used in Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, will maintain their functionality when played on Wii, with the exception of the GameBoy Player. It should also be noted that the Wii will have the ability to download games from all previous Nintendo home consoles (Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64) through the 'Virtual Console' service, thus allowing the possibility of every console game made by Nintendo to be played on the Wii."

you don't need ps3 . graphics are same as the xbox 360 . so if you want to watch blu-ray movies on 1080p HDTV then you need one

I think it's too expensive for a gaming system, but very cheap for a blu-ray player....only way I would get it now, is if I had a HDTV that was 1080P

You dont need one. I live my life just fine without one. It may have good graphics and all but it is my belief that Blue Ray will be the next Betamax.
