In both 60gig and 20 gig forms, the hype surrounding this much anticipated gaming console? machine? computer? life-altering device? I can't keep track of what its current status is, but i do know few gamers or kids as much as they might hate on it, will really say no to having one. Nor will they be able to hide their large grin when they find it under the tree this year.

The Playstation 3 is fun. (via digital life)

great graphics and blu ray player perfect for movie night.

I'm keeping a PS3 for a friend who's out of the country for a few months, and I've really enjoyed using it to watch Blu-Ray movies. If you're considering buying a standalone Blu-Ray player, you should really get this instead, since it can do that and so much more.

In addition to the games and downloads, you can also connect it to a PC or Mac through your home network (either wired or Wi-Fi). This allows you to stream your music, photos and videos to your TV & stereo, and is a great alternative to standalone competitors like AirTunes, AppleTV or Squeezebox. The technology that enables this is called DLNA, and is available with the standard Windows Media player (you have to enable sharing), as well as 3rd party products for Macs or PCs.

I've been using this to stream music to my stereo and view photos. If you want to do videos, I'd recommend using a wired network - for me Wi-Fi hasn't been fast enough to stream video smoothly.

Played it, Wished I owned it!

fun

I need to get my hands on one of these. That new "Resistance" game looks pretty entertaining. It would provide a great distraction from drowning my head in legal briefs. Now if my cat only had opposable thumbs, she could get in on the action.

This is clearly the most powerful video game console on the market. It's essentially a super-computer designed to churn out intense gaming with ultra-realism, unparalleled graphics, and speed. The PS3 could even make "Pong" seem exciting. Plus, it doubles as a blu-ray player.
