> Well Microsoft didn’t overload their system with unnecessary features like a Blu Ray Player. Granted i’m not saying that the ps3 isn’t worth the 600 pricetag because if u look at what ur getting, it’s not that bad of a price. But a videogame system is just that a videogames system. Sony is trying to make this PS3 some kinda state of the art all in one entertainment system. Screw that. When Blu Ray becomes the standard, i’ll buy one at a much cheaper price. The base PS3 is still +100 more than the Base 360 also!

first off how are they loading it with unessasary stuff…i think all PS3 games are on blueray discs so it being a blueray player is a added bonus.

personally i’m looking forward to the blueray just as much as the gaming.  
i watch more movies then play videogames.  
regular DVD’s are just ehhhh to me highdef is WAY better.  
blue ray players alone are like $600-$1000 now.  
so a $599 PS3 with 60Gig, blueray, HDMI, Wifi, memory card, SD & flash reader  
is not outragously priced…yeah its expensive, but you’re getting what you pay for.  
if you don’t like all the bells & wistles then get the $499 one without the HDMI, wifi, memorycard, SD&flash reader & only has a 20Gig

they said you can upgrade the harddrive yorself with whatever size you want.

& back to my point about people comparing it to 360 & bitching…get a 360 with similar features (bigger drive, HD-DVD add-on, etc…) & its going to be around the same price.
