As its been said earlier for me the ps3 has no games that interest me that can not be got on the 360 apart from Unreal tournment 3 which is out in november and not out till next march on the 360.

As for it been a cheaper way to get a blueray player i can not see the value in it when you can get the HD dvd player for the 360 for about £100 and with the film of the year only been released on HDdvd and not on blueray then its just another reason not to bother with one.

BTW if your wondering what the film of the year is i can give you a clue its not High school musical 2

Yes it has everything (including wifi) built in steamboat. Even though Personally I think that Blue ray is over rated, unless you might have a 1080p TV?.

Normal Dvds are upscaled into 1080i on the Ps3 which make them excellent picture quality, which is probably the best quality picture you will see from a SD DVD.  I still buy SD DVDs instead of overpriced BR DVD's. And myself personally find it very hard to see the difference between BR and DVD at this output.

And Fezza you would have only brought it for one game, cus there hasnt been anything else really worth buying on it yet. I'm extremely dissapointed with the games line up on Ps3. It pales in comparison to the line up on Xbox 360.

I've played and finished all 3 games I brought on ps3 when it came out. And havent really played on it since . Considered selling it just because I never play anything on it. Only watch films on it .

The £299 model is a stripped down version of the PS3. The USB ports have been reduced to two instead of four, and it's no longer backwards compatible with PS2 and PS1 games. This also means that there's no memory card slots either. Finally, the ability to play Super Audio CD's has been removed.

It looks to me to be a desperate attempt to attract a larger consumer base. Trouble is, they're suffering the Gamecube syndrome - trying to push the console but forgetting that consumers actually want games!

Couldnt agree with you more, think I actually said the same thing in another thread somewhere ( In different words ).

The "Premium Console" may well be a excellent bit of kit. But without "QUALITY GAMES" its pretty much pointless. And by Sony removing some of the features on the console to bring out a base console, doesnt this reduce the appeal of actually owning a PS3?. I'd be really peeved if I didnt have Ps2 backwards compatability. Even thought the GH2 controller still doesnt work .

Buying a PS3 at the moment is comparable to buying a Ferrari with a Austin Metro engine in. It looks the bollocks, but is crap to drive!.

The gamecube was never a premium console

Its good to see sony have taken a step backwards to give us the dual shock 3 control pad (their words not mine). Will get one of these next year when Home and Metal Gear come out.

The Ps3 pads do have triggers though they look like the Ps2 pad and same looking design the rear triggers are same kind idea like 360 where they have bit movement too them for likes of car games rather than the usual just press and click type button if that makes much sense.
