Ok, so Valve doesn't like the PS3, fine. I, however, do like it. It's the best Blu-ray player on the market, streams my audio and video flawlessly, has great style, is super quiet, and I love the bluetooth remote I don't have to point with.

Caveat, I'm only a casual gamer. The lack of titles today concerns me little. As well, I could care less about online play. So, maybe I'm the niche market...but I'm satisfied. I have 7 freinds with Xboxes in various states of jet-engine noise, repair, and cheap plastic looks. 

If gaming is your number one, get the Xbox or wait for PS3 titles.

When the Playstation came out, everybody blamed SONY for the damned complicated hardware design which was impossible to understand and even more impossible to program good games for it. And then came Polyphony Digital with Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec and the Rest became History. The most successful modern Console in History. Will History repeat itself with the PS3? I believe so...
Everybody who has a modern High Definition TV Set (LCD or Plasma) should have the PS3 to experience the benefits of their new equipment.

I played Halo 3 on Saturday afternoon went back to it earlier Sat evening now my wireless controller won't sync with the console.

I tried the sync button procedure and it won't work Halo 3 must of done it lol. Only joking bought my console in Jan 07 sent it in for a fix to DVD-ROM Feb 07 sending it in again for same problem and wireless pad problem lovely.

PS3 anyone as I am starting to wonder if I should go there.

Played PS3 in Microsoft Tech Tour. Baseball, it was good, amazingly detailed & responsive sports action on very large 60" Plasma.or (lcd?). It may be deadender as cores are going to 80 as next big improvement takes that many to, deminishing returns, 
yet it is home computer game thats been promised for so long.
