Not many games on release - no football games at all. Bit pricey.

Design is good - looks much better than the PS2. Graphics are excellent.

My son is eight and there are very few games available for him. I assumed that the PS3 would be compatible with most of his games but none of them are although there is a facility to download upgrades from the internet but this is time-consuming particularly for a child that just wants to be able to play his old games. A CD is available from the makers which we have requested but when it comes - if it does come - then perhaps I will judge the PS3 more favourably.

Blu-ray disc player built in, wireless networking straight out of the box and 60GB hard drive without having to make any additional purchases unlike xbox 360. Memory stick slots make transfer of music, photos and game saves very easy. One of the best things of all however, is free internet access.
-
Very bulky and not very easy to carry to another room in the house, also, updates that need to be installed each month before signing in to the internet are also a problem, especially as it takes quite a while to download them.

Excellent performance, very good media center capabilities and good looks. Future titles are looking excellent, and there's enough good content now to keep you occupied until the big titles are released.
-
The console itself is very large, and occupies quite a lot of space (and it needs room to breathe as like all performance consoles and computers it get's quite warm). If you already have a 360 then many of the games are out for that as well, so perhaps no exclusive titles to lure you in until x-mas.

The PS3 is an excellent piece of kit.
The range of titles is a little disappointing, let's hope the promises of many more titles next year materialise.

Inability to play most PS2 games on the console
Graphics and game play not any better than X box 360........I've got an X box 360 and in my opinion it is a better games console at around half the price.

Not backwards compatible with PS2 games and not likely to ever get updates to enable backwards compatibility. Pay the extra and but the 60Gb which you can play SOME PS2 games on.
Retailers never seem to make this very important negative detail known clearly.

ps2 games are not good to play on the ps3,there some glitch with using the ps2 games on the ps3,so he still got his ps2 for his old games.

Range of games is small but this has and will improve over time. Similar to the PSP when that originally came out, now there are thousands of games for it. Media centre integration needs a bit of work but at least its got it

Stylish looking console, much quieter than the Xbox360 ( I own one as well ) I was impressed at how good the DVD/Blu-ray player upscales the disks. People argue that the Xbox360 has more games, fair enough, but we'll see about 35 new titles arriving in November 07.
