I bought the 80gb ps3 as a christmas gift for our family. Am I glad I did! We upgraded from an old xbox. We also bought a 40" sony bravia v3000 hdtv and onkyo 7.1 surround system.(highly recommend those as well) We are broke, but have a ball playing our ps3! I didn't realize this was much more than just a game console! It also allows internet access(with wifi),allows me to play my ipod through the stereo, look at my digital pics,watch reg.and bluray movies,and play ps3 games online with anyone!
I am sure there is more I can do with it, but I am still learning.
We own 7 ps3 games and have bought the bowling game from the ps3 online store(better than the Wii bowling game in my opinion.) And have not been disappointed with any of them.
If you are looking for great family fun buy this system! And buy Rockband to go with it!
If you are considering buying the 40g ps3, spend the extra and get the 80g. The 80g offers more capabilites and you will miss them with the 40.
I hope this review was helpful.

Great fun and plays High def for a few dollars more than just a high def player alone.

I bought my ps3 as a supplement to the Wii and the XB360. I use the Wii with my wife and kids to have fun. I play XB360 online and for any game that comes out on both systems (XB & PS), and I use my ps3 almost solely as a blu-ray player. I figured..."what the heck, it costs the same as the other blu-ray players, and it has way more functionality." Well, I'm very happy wih the purchase. It works awesome as a BR player, and I also plan to buy some games that only come out for ps (ie. hot shots, socom, etc). That being said if you want to play hardcore video games including online, get the xbox, since there is no comparison to XBL. If you want a great blu-ray player, if your more into movies, and can't afford the ps and xb, get the ps3.
NOTE:
The BR player is based on software, which is upgradable, so as new versions of BR are released, your ps3 will be upgraded, which is an awesome feature.

Update 3/22/08
After update firmware to 2.17, DVD playback is much improved. It adds an option using "full scale" conversion, works very nicely. Wireless connection seems also improved as well. I shall give it a four star now!
_________________________
Spent about 10 hours gone through all features and test many different discs. Bluray DVD playback quality is very good. However, when play standard DVDs, a lot of artifacts can be seen unless change its output to 480 resolutions (requires too many clicks.) My other upscale DVD players do a much better job. Don't put away your standard DVD player yet. Wireless connection is very weak, keep losing connections. My Wii player next to it had no problem to connect to the same signal.
