"Almost, but not quite"
What I like:
processing power
What I don't like:
price tag
Review:
not worth the price tag..
university lectures show that the processor is only single ppe and not multi ppe.
when its cheaper it will be worth it. blu ray player is not the best, firmware updates have made it so good but not actually that great. do not buy until it is cheaper.
a few good cames releasing to the ps3, but DLC exclusives mainly on the xbox, just way up all options between both consoles. price is the main factor not blu ray. its about the current games that are being released and the xbox will have more since there are more people and different styles of gaming.
ps3 does not have cross game invitations and chat.
MS is a software company, so believe in the software.
sony is a hardware company so believe in the hardware.

Nintendo cautions against holding your breath for a new Wii HD. Such action won't make it release an HD console any quicker, and might result in the breath-holder getting dizzy and passing out

Smaller, quieter and cheaper than previous PlayStation 3 models, it's the best version yet
Nintendo Wii MotionPlus
Does a good job in some games, but it doesn't provide a consistent user experience
Nintendo DSi
It's a slight improvement on the DS Lite, but the new features don't warrant an upgrade at this point
