Hmm. I'm not getting an HDTV anytime soon, so buying it purely as a blu-ray player is out of the question. The games on the platform don't really justify its purchase either. So, slimmer and lighter are nice, but Sony probably have a few more important things to sort out before I get one.
Some importand things... ?? I dont quite understand you Liam. I would say that the price is quite good for BD Player with that specs and if you consider these Extra feautures.. - Full Music Player - Digital TV Recorder (Probably not yet in your place) - Huge number if compresed movies store and play any time - Play directly any multimedia content from any PC or Media Server directly to your PS3. - Browse you fave Pictures in HD and much much more..
Man.. I would pay even more for such wired HD player (+HD TV Recorder).
If you Just... just think all these features.. and look at the price again.. you might think that its not so bad.
And dont forget you can still PLAY Games, Watch weather and News (from the Life with Playstation) and do much more interactive things.
Its just that some people tent to overlook some very good things about Playstation.
Well, I already have stuff that can do most of those things. If I want to play music, I'll just hook my iPod or my laptop up to my stereo. If I want to record or watch TV, I'll use my freeview PVR. If I want to watch a film, I'll just grab the DVD from the shelf, or rent it from the blockbusters 5 minutes away. It does have a lot of features, but all that proves to me is that it's trying to fill a big hole that isn't there. What I really want a games console to do is play games... and the state of the PS3's software lineup is pretty terrible. In my opinion, of course.

I don't know how it's Sony's fault that you're behind the times and are still watching standard-def TV.
I may not like them much, but place the blame where it's due.
