You really cannot go wrong by buying this game console based on the wide variety of things that can be done with it(unmatched at the moment). It definitely is a bargain and Sony's loss at the checkout counter is indeed my gain. I will not list all of the things that it can do but some of the things which are relevant to me.
1/ The best Blu-ray player on the market bar none. Also with the recent 2.20 update this is the only 2.0 (BD-Live) player available at present.Cheap too when its features are compared to stand alone Blu-Ray machines.

2/ Excellent media hub. (Xbox 360 does this too)

3/ Saved me having to buy a home theatre or small form factor pc for the living room since I can happily surf the net in my living room with a standard USB keyboard or better yet a bluetooth wireless one.

4/ Surprisingly worked with my Logitech MOMO Pc steering wheel ( except for handbrake) allowing me to keep my $$ for a while before the eventual G25 wheel purchase.

5/ Works great for folding at home. I advise all to do this and fold for team 32. [...]

6/ The ability to update the harddrive with off the shelf 2.5" drives.

7/ Comes with a free game.

Cons :

1/ You will need to buy cables if you want anything beyond RCA cables. I guess that is standard for just about any other consumer electronic device. But the problem here is that besides HDMI cables you would have to buy a needlessly expensive Sony authorized breakout cable to get stuff like s-video or component cables.

2/ Contrary to many PS3 fanboys, this thing is noisy when running games and folding@home. I will not be arguing as to which is louder between this and the Xbox 360 because I don't care ........ it is still loud.

3/ despite having a very powerful parallel cpu in the Cell it at present is a very poor multitasker and there are many things which cannot be done at the same time. After some firmware updates you can download some things in the background and also surf the net will folding@home but not much else. I hope that future updates will fix this.

4/ Doesn't have as many good games as the Xbox 360 yet.

5/ The playstation store and online play would be really good if there wasn't the Xbox 360 to compare it to. Sony really needs to do some work in this regard.

6/ Does not come with a remote as standard.

- Very impressed
I can't say enough about how pleasantly surprised I've been with this product. We bought it for its Bluray capability--gaming was a bonus. In fact, only downside is the lack of kid friendly games, which means our Gamecube will stay with us for quite some time. Nevertheless, this is a very versatile product and makes buying it as a Bluray player a smart choice considering what it costs compared to non-gaming players. I've not been disappointed.

Excellent value for the money.

If you have a (analog) television with only a coax jack, do purchase a RF modulator from Radio Shack Model: 15-2526 or equivalent.

- System Broke in Less Than A Week
This was a gift to a friend. It was alright for the first few days then it stopped working. He contacted SONY directly and they took it back and told him they were sending him a complete new one. Don't know exactly what the problem was with the first one but they said they were just going to send a whole new system. I guess whatever the defect was it was not worth fixing it. For now he says it's working fine so I guess we shall see in the next week or so if it was really worth it.

- Simply the most complete machine out there
I won't list everything it has because that is listed everywhere, but just concentrating on my experience with it. I've had it for about 6 months now and it's been nothing but one of the best buys. First of all the BR player is the best in the market, not just because it is affordable, but it is a remarkable piece of hardware, video and audio is amazing, sadly no DTS-HDMA just yet but hopefully in the future. Plus you are future proof because Sony always has the updates for you. Updating also is a breeze(at least for me), it does it wirelessly no hassle at all. The Network also is good,it's free and a easy to connect. The only problem is that sometimes it lags but that's because of the servers out there, but that almost never happens. I have heard of problems with backwards compatibility, but I've had no problems, my PS2 games work perfectly and you can even put them in widescreen if the game has that option. Gaming is great, easy controls, amazing photo-realistic graphics.
