Good read, but the best part of it might be this:

The PS3 is not just a cheap Blu-ray player

Nothing about the unit looks or feels cheap. The build quality of the console itself seems to be sturdy and substantial. The familiar red and blue/green LED lights, which indicate the system status, make a return from the PS2, but look more slick and futuristic. There are also tiny "feet" on the unit's left side -- handy for standing it in a stable vertical position. And the chrome trim is a surprisingly cool bonus on the $599 premium model, for purely aesthetic reasons.

Why do I have to wait so long? It's all sounding fantastic!

They pretty much squash all the Fud being slung around the net.

Great news for playstation!

The best thing really is that after all the negative press that's been dished out by journalists; now that they've actually got their hands on the machine, it's living up to the hype.

I was initially a little let down by it not upscaling DVD, but it makes a lot of sense really, Sony want you to buy blu-ray discs!

Shame about the "upscaling" PS2 games though, I was hoping for an improved picture, but it's hardly a show stopper.

Next Friday is the AV show where PS3 makes it's UK debut, the queue will be mad, but I'll do my best! I'll hopefully get some photo's up too.

Don't forget to take lots of pictures!

Obviously I'll be snapping pics of AV equipment, but sadly some booth babes might get in the way, tsk!

I'm surprised that the ps3 can not really improve ps1 and ps2 games in terms of looks, but you can not have it all. Even if the feature was available, it might cause some ps1 and ps2 games to either not look right or not work at all with glitchy sound or colors off on the screen. Try to get photos that are clear.
