Customer support is non existence Let me start by saying that I was once a huge fan of Sony products, I have enough of them (TV, Vaio laptop (x2), Network walkman, PS1 & PS2). However I will no longer be purchasing any of their electronics, from 2 recent experiences with their devices, (the PS3 is what I will cover here). Being an early adopter I bought my PS3 whilst on holiday in the US in December 2006 (it was known to be region free for games), the console worked fine for nearly 2 years and I raved about how much better built it... more info
Sony Playstation 3 (80GB) Have I made a mistake..This is what I asked myself after parting with no small amount of hard earned for a "games machine". I really wanted a Blu-Ray player but my Son promised this would be all i need, yeah!. Well, i have never played a game in my life so i ask the question. Okay, the answer is I'm blown away, this is the best all round piece of kit that i have ever purchased.

PLAYSTATION 3 pawns XBOX 360 well what can say, previously owning an XBOX 360 i can safly say that the PS3 mops the floor with the 360 (and that's an understatement).

Know what you are buying - Not for small kids really See Mr Pettejohns review - its gives a good summary of all the non-game related reasons to buy it. What it doen't have is a whole load of family friendly games - as a console it's pretty hardcore. However, for £300 its good value for all the non-game stuff that it does. So I see the game capacity as a free add on rather than vice versa. You can convince "the Mrs" you bought it for all its non-game features because it does stand up on its own.
