Pros: Compact, 2nd hand games are cheap, controller is bluetooth
Cons: new games are expensive
"The PS3 is a great piece of kit, but perhaps only if you're a bit of a geek. __1) It plays DVDs and Blu-Ray discs. __2) It can store and play photos, music and video, through your TV. __3) It can also (if you can be bothered to set it all up) stream photos, music and video from your PC over the network. __4) It plays PS3 games only (worth mentioning). _______________ The real benefit to all this is that it is a computer that plugs into your TV and HiFi that you enjoy from the sofa. (Rather than a PC that sits at a desk.) ____________ If it's going to be used extensively for the music and video side of things, it's worth checking out the remote control - it does make using it a bit easier than using the supplied games controller. ____________ One other point: to get the best from it, you need a Hi-Def TV, (1080i or preferably 1080p), and to plug it into a 5.1 Hi-Fi."
