Okay, I'm not saying the I'm a Sony fanboy. I respect all other consoles, but I'm here to explain why it is what it is.

If you look at the Sony PS3, and all it can do. You can only say one word... wow. The Ps3's power resides within the eight processors and the RSX graphics. The PS3 can function as a fully functional computer if you tinker with it for a little while. I was playing my PS3 on my HDTV at home one day and my girlfriend walked into the room and asked "what movie am I watching?", when in fact I was playing MotorStorm. It's that realistic. I've upgraded my HDD to 250GiB so I've got all my movies, songs, & photos. A built-in web browser? what more can you ask for.

    Yes, the network of PS3 users isn't very powerful and yes it is a little over priced. When you look at the long-run, you're making a great investment! Right now you buy a PS3 at $599.99 USD you buy a Xbox 360 Elite at 499.99, then you go ahead and buy a HD-DVD player, which still isn't as-powerful as Blu-Ray and you've jumped over the PS3. Not counting the price of Xbox Live. Which for a year is 59.99. So, 60 dollars a year, over let say you play it four years, that $240.00! The PSNetwork is completely free, of course you buy your special game of PSP games from time to time which at most costs 10 dollars.

    Then we move onto the Wii, yes, the Wii is a great console for a family. I do give it props, but when you look at it's functionality, it's a joke. No memory card, no HDD, no wireless built-in. By the time you buy all the special attachments for it, you've gotten up to the price of a PS3. To all the people that say that it's not a fad, and is the best, sorry to break you heart but... why would I stand on my living room and use my Wiimote for tennis and be jumping all over the place when I can go down to my local Play-It-Again Sport's and pick up a tennis racket and a couple of balls, and play with my friends. Video games are meant to be played from the comfort of your couch.

Overall the PlayStation 3 is a clear winner in the end.
