After years of teasing how it's doomed and all is lost, and throwing in the old 'but where's the games?' debate every time the PS3 learnt a new trick, I finally decided that, actually, forget the games, those tricks are pretty cool.<BR/><BR/>£300 for a Blu-Ray player, Peronal Video Recorder (with PlayTV) web browser, multi-media player and storage hub... It'll save me on buying another half a dozen boxes (with individual remotes) to stuff under the bedroom TV. The fact it'll play MSG4 has become but a bonus. Guess Sony's approach finally worked on me. <BR/><BR/>But if the mates ask, it's simply a GTA IV backup plan for when the 360 passes on.Billy Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12323574574732134716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32650776.post-13995514817156938912008-01-16T09:20:00.000+09:002008-01-16T09:20:00.000+09:00Celso, no no pack-ins, just the console, though I ...Celso, no no pack-ins, just the console, though I did buy Ratchet & Clank with it which, happy surprise, plays entirely in English as my system language is set to such. Bonus! Now comes the arduous task of finding out which other Japanese titles do this so I won't have to import.<BR/><BR/>Doesnotequal, yes you are allowed to be amused. Sony's backtracking is enormously funny and obvious. :)<BR/><BR/>Keira, no telly either? Wow. I think these days not owning a DS may put you in the poverty zone. I thought they were ubiquitous.<BR/><BR/>Peter, Blu-Ray is a silly name because it has a hyphen where there should be an "e". But I agree that HDDVD is an acronym too far for the common man.JC Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122980021264683075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32650776.post-33654728356289695862008-01-16T07:50:00.000+09:002008-01-16T07:50:00.000+09:00"the silly named Blu-Ray"That silly name would've ..."the silly named Blu-Ray"<BR/><BR/>That silly name would've made Blu-Ray a winner if they had not much discrepency in available HD content libraries for simply having a name that is much, much more consumer friendly.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I do think Blu-Ray is a cool name!

First they claimed force-feedback would interfere with their "innovative" motion-sensitive controllers, and then they touted the system's backwards-compatibility.
