PS3 40G console
Strengths: Quiet, less heat than other PS3 models
Weakness: not compatible to old PS2 games
PS3 is a great console. I indeed like playing this over Wii. The main reason is that I can download playable demo of new games, such that I can try playing to see which games I really like to buy it. In addition, being a Blu-ray player is a plus.

Playstation 3 40GB
Strengths: Blu-Ray HD, 1080P
Weakness: Cost of console and accessories (i.e. extra controller & remote)
The Sony PS3 is an awesome do everything home entertainment unit. For the price of a stand alone BLu-Ray player, the PS3 is the way to go. Beautiful Blu-Ray playback in full 1080P HD. Also once connected to the internet, the firmware stays up to date and one can purchase additional games, view movie trailers and surf the web.

Top of the line
Strengths: Sturdy/solid unit, very powerful, can be networked and can access the Internet
Weakness: A bit pricey, runs quite warm, doesn't play PS2 games (at least not the 40 Gb version, according to other reviews), only two USB ports so need USB hub for Rock Band

What one really has here is a powerful computer packaged as a game system. The interfaces on this unit are sweet - USB connections for the accessories! For once Sony hasn't gone with their own proprietary interface. However, there are...

Good for both blu-ray and game player
Strengths: PC+blu-ray+game
Weakness: pricey for game and blu-ray disc
PS3 is pricey, but a side-by-side comparison with Xbox 360 reveals it’s a better value. Included on the PlayStation 3: Integrated Blu-ray player, web browser, and WiFi. Unlike Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 also offers free access to its online environment. PlayStation has its multimedia role with strong photo and slide-show support with Memory Stick Duo, SD & Compact Flash Slots on its high-end...

Good entertaintment system, overpriced however BLU RAY makes up for it
Strengths: Blu Ray playback, easy PSP like menu
Weakness: No HDMI cable included, cannot play PS2/PS1 games unless you buy the high end 80GB edition.
Excellent for playing Blu Ray movies, includes a Wireless PS3 Sixaxis remote, however I have found the cable to charge it to be too short. The graphics are OK, but my best friends XBOX 360 two years old has a more powerful graphics processor than the PS3, however it lacks HDMI. New XBOX 360 (elite) include said HDMI output, and for the extra money you get a way better system (graphics wise, in my...
