Here's how Sony is trying to convince people to buy PS3. They're saying it's also an MP3 player and CD player and DVD player, plus you can put photos on it and use it like a big, ugly memory stick. Clearly some sort of apology is in order from all those that criticised this wonder-machine!
We have no idea where Sony's buying its DVD player from - ASDA's got loads for 15 quid. Oh wait, it's probably buying an over-priced Sony one.
WHAT YOU WILL ALSO NEED FOR YOUR PS3:
Optional Wii adaptor to play games (RRP £1,000,000) Optional Xbox 360 adaptor to play games months/years earlier Vibrating controllers (expected Spring 2008) Patience
UPDATE!
A man called Chris made this. He almost certainly used something a bit more advanced than Paint.
The one for Wii will be a Wii beside a dusty copy of Zelda.
A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

And obviously Blu-Ray players totally can't play DVDs or CDs, right?
So basically they are saying that for an extra 285 quid you can play blu-rays if you buy a PS3 instead.

I mean, sure, if you don't care about audio or visual quality... but if that's the case, you might as well buy a Wii.
Because THIS:

...is a Blu-Ray player that can play DVDs, CDs and MP3s, and it's only £302.48, or £248.99 if you use an Amazon trader instead.
Which means you're paying an extra £50 to play games that everyone else played six months ago.
And it surfs the internet? Man, do I wish we already had something in our house that played DVDs, CDs, and surfed the internet. Oh wait. Me, and everyone else on earth, already has a computer that can do that. For half the price of a PS3 I can go into a computer shop and buy one of their low end (or used) computers that does all of those things, just better and with the added functionality of office functions. Sure it wouldn't play new games, but then, neither does the PS3.
Because, last I looked, a PS3 isn't very portable. And doesn't run on batteries. and doesn't even have a headphone socket.

Who wants an HDDVD player? Do you honestly think it matter which of Blu-Ray or HDDVD you get? That's like wondering which maker of 8 track tapes to back. By the time enough people have HDTV's to enable either HDDVD or Bluray to replace DVD, it won't matter, as a true replacement will be out. Something offering something besides just high def. Why anyone is wasting money following these two useless formats is beyond me. It'll be nice to brag about having owned them in about four years when no one even remembers they were out.
As for having to pay for the HDDVD player for the 360, that's a good thing. As no one needs a HDDVD player, they aren't stuck paying extra for something they won't use.
This same dumb argument is made every time anyone points out how much the PS3 is. Guess what, once you get past what it costs to play videogames on a videogame system, no one gives a rat's ass about the rest of your numbers.
