I would buy it immediately if I had the money. I mean all of you are missing that not only is it the cheapest Blu-Ray player, but the PS2 is the SINGLE thing that won over for DVDs. Everyone liked the format but buying a PS2 was nominally cheaper than a DVD player. With the PS2's massive success there were already a ton out there, so people started picking up DVDs to watch in it. No aging, no decay in quality. DVDs were great.
On top of that, a media management system. I Love Music. So being capable of having a ton of music on it? Great. I love the PS1 downloads. I hated Force Feedback. It screwed up perfection in any FPS, or sneaking game. Personally I use wireless controllers now and vibration kills you on battery time. I have played 60 hours into FFXII so far without changing batteries, yet 12 hours into Frequency with vibration on my batteries were dying. It's a waste of resource and it isn't really all that immersive. A good game doesn't need to shake your hands a little bit to be immersive but capture your mind.
It's sleek look, multi-purpose, FREE ONLINE, and countless more reasons to come as Sony gets more acclimated to what the average PS3 toting gamer wants, they will produce more. Sony is ALWAYS good to it's fans.
I personally believe this was just a kickback to a PSX, the PS2/media system that didn't make it out of Japan. It was a great Idea but most people already had a PS2 and it was insanely expensive. So they just redid it with the next gen of consoles, and hoped for the best.
If I had 650 I would have a PS3 right now. Infact if anyone wants to buy a car, I live in MO and am selling my car.
For $650. I live next to work, and I walk everywhere anyway. This thing costs me every month and I don't use it. Better turn it into something I can use. A PS3.
