Yup true but i dont think BD will fail for video games. Maybe movies, yes but the extra space it offers will be an advantage to games. Factor 5 (game developer for lair) president has stated that each level is 4GB and the game will run at 1080p with uncompressed 7.1 audio. So the space is needed. lol.

egggzactly 
I want the wi-fi built in but my mate doesn't. Easier to leave it out and buy what I need seperately.....
BR or HD is going to drag for at least 2 years. I have no intention of getting either until we have a clear winner....
edit: If Blu-Ray fails for movies it will fail for games, to expensive by itself.

Turbo charged Fiat Uno :
0-100 4 Seconds
Ferrari/Lamborghini/Porsche (Choose fav)
0-100 4 Seconds + a few extra features
Its not just about what you get, style, name brand etc all play their parts whether we like it or not. A 360 is great, played Burnout on it, awesome graphics, controls, etc. But Microsoft just isn't Sony in my eyes (read: my personal opinion)

Terrible comparison...
You seem to be ignoring the parts the make the Xbox 360 better....
I want a games console to play games not to have style, name brand etc.. Seriously dude...
Wait until Live Anywhere is out and us Xboxers are playing against people on PC's and the Sony boys are still trying to find out which server their latest game is being played on....
I would have no problem getting the PS3 as well, but at that price it is offering absolutely nothing that interests me. I would rather get the WII....
Also I lost some respect for Sony after they tried to impress people with their tilt sensor, man that press conference was embaressing....

I didnt actually, 360 is cheaper, so is the Uno, more people drive Uno's, theres a better (or at least more widespread) support base for Uno.
Maybe the comparison is a bit extreme and maybe PS3 isnt even out yet so who are we to judge.
I have agreed both have their pro's and Live Anywhere will probably beat PS3's online service hands down, but the point I was trying to make was it come down to what you prefer, not whether the one is double the price of the other

If we talking style over substance, lets not even talk about the physical aesthetics of el Sony Deathstar 3 . . . .
You trust Sony more than Microsoft? While a tough one I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you there. After last years DRM debacle, this years battery debacle, the fact that Sony electronics has lost marketshare by the bucketload, their shares are 3 clips from being rated 'junk', are you so sure? From the company that tries to lock you into proprietory everything at every opportunity they can? Their only "successful" brand at the moment are their Bravia's, which are actually Samsung devices.
Lets talk differentiators shall we? As a games console what sets Sony apart from the 360? Uh, not much actually. It's got a Uber DVD player to store more HD content, hmm, right? Unfortunately the RSX GPU only has access to half the texture memory of the 360, so uh, you're just going to get a lot more of less. Actually, that's Sony's whole strategy by the looks of things.
Forget the tilt rubbish. As MS said, they tried it 7 years ago already and no-one wanted it. The 360 controller is decades ahead of the PS3 controller (No seriously it is! wanna borrow my PS1 pad? )
. . And forget the marketing hype. In all honesty when it comes down to the two machines as games consoles they stand toe to toe, as we can already see the games are typically identical. (see COD3) What it'll come down to is content, and unfortunately for the SFB, 360's got this one covered, by a country mile.
The unfortunate truth though is that people will buy the PS3, just because that is what it is. the next version of what they know, with buckets of marketing moeny behind it. Just like Intel versus AMD.

I got a PS in 1996, one of the 1st in the country, since then I've loved Sony and I love their style. I own a PS2 and a PSP. I am a Fanboy, but I don't dis 360, I just don't want one. Tho I might want a Wii
My comparison wasn't meant to say that the PS3 is light years ahead, was just illustrating that there are reasons other than performance for price differences
And even if the PS3 is crap, I end up with a very fancy DVD player that streams stuff to my PSP (I already use Pimp Streamer, don't worry) and warms my house in winter
PS. Even tho it was a model at the expo that I saw, the system still looks great IMHO

as per prevoius threads and posts,i dont wont to bring it all up again BUT the cost of the PS3 is way to high,Maybe if someone lives in the UK,USA or even Asia it would be worth it and affordable yes? But the rumors circulating here is that its going to cost a fair amount of money for a PS3.
assassins creed looks amazing but whats the cost for a PS3 game going to be? plus you going to have to sell your car to buy a PS3....
