Do you enjoy your computer games?
If you do chances are you’ve checked out Sony’s Playstation 3 game console & Blu-ray Disc player (at least superficially).
Why would you be considering the Sony Playstation 3:

• It can play almost all disc formats (don’t try to force a vinyl, old laser or non-circular shaped disc into it, but otherwise…)
• It is up to true HD (1080p video/7.1 audio) compatible.
• It can upscale standard definition movies/games to High Definition (it’s not true 1080p but any improvements are worth it if you’ve got a big screen TV or have very good eyesight).
• Its compatible with most formats and popular codexs (the latest model doesn’t support Super Audio CD, and none of them support HD-DVD, but then even HD-DVD doesnt support that anymore).
• It can allow you to browse the net from your computer screen (at a lower definition than on a computer, but do you really want to ever have to get off that couch?).
• It is easy to upgrade the systems firmware to provide additional functionality.
• There are a huge number of PS3 Games and Blu-Ray movies for you to watch on it (well there aren’t yet, but since the extinction of HD-DVD you can expect a lot more)
