The overview
Sony set out to make a multimedia powerhouse with the PS3. The inclusion of a Blu-ray player makes it almost a must-have for gamers looking to get into high definition video, particularly at this price point. Hardcore gamers, however, may need to think twice. With few exclusive titles at launch and a dwindling list of PS3-only games slated for the future, the PlayStation 3 will surely have its hands full competing against the X box 360 and the Nintendo Wii.
