No matter how many times you call it a game console, the PS3 is a media center. That includes HD movies and television, photos, music and, yes, games.

Again, the thing has 4 USB ports, bluetooth technology and a huge hard drive.

I'd Say The PS3 Is Grand Larceny Versus Other Current BD Players - Robertc88 05:55:24 08/23/07 (1)
I think lots of folks realize this and plucked down the bucks versus the other players available. And I still believe many bought it with BD playback as the main reason! They can utilize other features as icing on the cake.

Why buy the others at their current price when the PS3 is capable of much more more than other BD players.

  That curved surface also keeps me from putting the disc case directly on top of the player.
  
  I've had a BB salesman tell me Sony doesn't really want you playing tooo many Blu-ray discs because it was designed more for game playback than "routine movie watching" (implying long term reliability issues perhaps?). Of course, they wanted to sell you more expensive standalone players.

Its still a game console, no matter what you call it. That's why its a Play Station. Its not a media center that can also do games and movies, its first and formost a game console that may have secondary uses. Thats why only 40% of its owners even know its lso a BD player (see my post down the page).
