Apart from lack of games, PS3 cannot presently access MP3 or video files from your computer via a network, so as to link all your media to the lounge-room from the computer elsewhere. ATM you have to load from cd/dvd or mem card onto the PS3 HD.
AFR review said Sony will not be discouraging software development...so only a matter time before a versatile media player appears like XBMC for the Xbox.
I spent a night playing tennis, Motorstorm, and Gran Turismo HD Concept at mate's - the internet leaderboard makes the timetrial in GT compeling, because you get to compete against the world with rankings updating often. The game's only pre-release demo but looks fantastic even though scenery still uses 2D cardboard cutouts lifted from PS2 GT4.
When GT and Tourist Trophy are out & the thing can access my wireless network to play recorded digital TV/movies etc from my Mac I will get one for sure...games + media player + blu-ray player = it's not bad value, but problem right now only the latter is being fully exploited. Sort out the others, add in the fact it's an internet browser for your lounge-room and I think it will bury the xbox360 and HD-DVD at the same time.
