I own a PS3 and love the games and Internet-enabled aspects of it. I also love watching Blu-Ray discs on it. I think its a great movie player that adds so much more (like premium games Uncharted: Drake's Fortune & MotorStorm). I'd highly recommend it.
I know not everyone's a gamer and so I think its great there's some other competitive Blu-ray hardware offering a compelling movie experience. But for $50 more I'd recommend a PS3 for anyone who might be remotely interested in the interactive features of a PS3.

Lack of Backwards Compatability Unwise
There is an enormous base of PS2 users out there. Furthermore you can still
buy a PS2 and PS2 software, so that installed base continues to expand.
Providing a clean upgrade path to existing users makes a lot of sense - they
can upgrade to the new generation hardware without losing the investment in
their current games. However, if the PS3 no longer plays PS2 games, then
that incentive goes out the window and PS2 users might just upgrade to an
XBox 360.
I own a PS2 and one of the main reasons I wanted to go the PS3 route when I
upgrade is that it would play my extensive library of existing games. I don't
want two consoles in my family room, just one. But if that incentive for the
PS3 disappears, I might go XBox. In reply to: "Sony confirms cheaper 40GB PS3 for Europe; U.S. version to follow?"October 5, 2007
