I really enjoy playing the PS3 espesically Racing games! It cost me £300 with 2 games, 1 bluray and a Bluray remote! In January. So the price is dropping by the minute! I would recommend to buy from game because they give out a 2 year insurance so if your PS3 stops working go down to game store and tell them and they will give you a BRAND NEW PS3 console! it only costs £25 for 2 years! See instore for details or goto www.game.co.uk! The PS3 to me is a Media Centre because you can play Games, Blurays, DVD's, CD's and many other features!

Summary: Great console and Media Centre
