Advantages: High Def graphics, backwards playback capabilities, blu ray

Disadvantages: PS3's full potential not utilised yet

Owned this about a month after it was released in Japan as my brother happened to buy me one when he was in Hong Kong on holiday. (It uses the same 3 pin plug).

Ergonomics:
The console is large and heavy. It isn't intended to be moved around much at all - not so helpful if you like visiting friends for a night in of PS3 gaming and have to carry it. The black plastic is a dust magnet as well.

Design:
Looks very smart and sophisticated. The colours chrome and black match perfectly side by side.

Performance:
At the moment, I would say not any one game has used the PS3 to its full potential. But in general this machine runs games smoothly with little lag (unless you play online of course).

Features:
The originaly 60GB PS3 has 4 USB slots as well as slots for memory cards. It has backwards compatability to play PS2 and PS1 games. But the main and best feature has to be the Blu Ray playback capability. Owning this console means you don't need to spend another £200 or so on a blu ray player. Think of it as buying 2 systems for the price of one!

Summary: Nice all round entertainment system that plays games, dvds and blu rays
