    PlayStation 3 is going to be great. Blu-ray isn't Betamax as many say, it will truly be a format that people use. It has so many advantages over Microsoft and Nintendo. Over the Xbox 360, PS3 will have motion detection in the controllers, a 60 GB HD, blu-ray playing (those will cost 700+ when they come out), exclusivity in games, better processor, and the fan base. I can't wait.

    After watching the Sony e3 press conference, I will honestly say, I was disappointed.

    The games are horrible. "Exclusivity" for games doesn't mean anything if most of the exclusive games are in fact published by Sony. Nintendo and Microsoft have their own Exclusive games, stop using that term, fanboys.

    The controller, from initial speculation, is not as well done as they lead us to believe. Also, it seems very stupid to sit on your couch tilting the controller to move around.

    $600 for a console seems like asking too much. Considering the Blu-ray drive is $380 alone, they could have sold the console with it as an option instead of shoving it down our throats, or at the very least taking a hit for wanting to push their new format. Typical Sony stupidity.

    The PS3 "marketplace" is an exact ripoff of Xbox live, and considering that it is "free", i'm sure it won't come close to being as good as Xbox live. If you have to register for another account for each game as was the case with the PS2, it will fail immediately.

    $50 a year for unlimited online gaming across all their games is more than worth it. I don't know why Sony fanboys complain, considering they'll be paying more for the games themselves.

    I'd rather buy a PS3 and Xbox 360 and enjoy all kinds of games, rather than recycled, rushed, lackluster games released by Sony all the time.

    Whoops, I meant to say I'd rather buy a Wii and Xbox 360, not the PS3!

    Sony needs to be more innovative and stop "borrowing" ideas from MS and Nintendo, with the price of one PS3, i can own MS's 360 and Nintendo's wii, you do the math...
