I adore this game console. It is not just for playing games! This console goes beyond the gaming experience to offer:
1. Blueray DVD player- the newest type of DVD that has more features to it can be played on the playstation.

2. Internet surfer- you can get on the internet and go on youtube and save favorite videos. note: internet experience is better on a computer, and phone line needs to be connected to ps3.
3. Demo downloader- you can choose to download video game demos so you can see what the game is all about before buying the game and possibly wasting all your money.

4. Community interacter- (lol don't you just love all of the random words I'm making up?)- this feature also requires the ps3 to be connected to phone line. Included with every os3 is a feature called "Playstation Home". You can make a character to look a lot like you by choosing eyes, hair, skin and clothes. It becomes very precise when you can choose wrinkles, makeup and forehead width. After you make your person, you can go to the community where there is a theater, a dance floor, a mall and more. You can chat with people by spelling out what you wanna say. You can also dance, say hello, agree, disagree and more. My experience with Playstation Home is as follows:
My boyfriend's brother showed me some characters he made on Playstation Home. My favorite character he made was this large, bald lady with black lipstick on. It was hilarious, he would just walk around and do some random salsa dancing which looked really funny. He was creeping people out. He also has this ugly man he made and he chased other Playstation Home people with it.

5. And, of course, it plays games! The games are really nice looking with great graphics. Of course there are glitches once in a while, but that is to be expected of all game consoles. Ps3 is also able to play ps2 and ps games, which is very convenient.

----------------Negatives-----------------
Some of the games still have glitches like Prince of Persia, where the landscape disappeared on me and some of the images looked choppy.
When playing DVD's the picture sometimes changes because the PS3 is trying to make the picture the best it can but sometimes it fails and just momentarily makes the picture look weird.

-----------------------------------------------
Overall this is an excellent game system, though it is pricey, however, it's worth every cent!

Great for hardcore gamers (my bf's brother plays this for days at a time!)
