I went to one of the official PS 3 Launches in Australia recently, all excited about getting first hand look at the new system and still a bit bitter at how we had to wait 6 months after the rest of the world to get it......

 Complete Home Entertainment system? Lets look at what it can do:

1. Video Games- awesome!
2. Wireless controllers. No more stumbling over the cables when getting up for another beer.
3. Blu-ray! Excellent- and cheap too! A low end Blu-ray player in Oz will cost you about $1,500, whereas the PS3 is only $999. There's the old DVD player gone
4. Digital Audio out. There's the stereo replaced.
5. Internet access. Unless you want specific PC apps, there's the computer gone.
6. On line gaming Free!! Thanks for coming Xbox, you don't even come close.
7. Built in Hard drive, plus support for multiple external HD's. See Point 2, 3 and 4.
8. Using iToy and internet you can even video conference!

So in a nutshell, it's got nearly everything. What's it missing?

DIGITAL TUNER! Yes most TV's these days come with built in digital tuner and/or set top boxes are pretty cheap, but to me that's a glaring ommission, the one thing that prevents it from being the COMPLETE Home Entertainment System.
