Obviously blu ray is one, and an HDMI cable, but what others are out there?

No flaming contests please, im genuinely intersted as i aint really followed the PS3.
 
Currently, not a lot i dont think.

Ability to increase HDD easily, but its still early days for it, give it a few months when more games come out, its available world wide and who knows.

Remember though HDMI isnt a massive deal really, Component/VGA just as good really.
 
Free online multiplayer
Blu Ray
Near Silent operation, though the Wii is the same.
Upgradable HDD
Wireless and NIC
Reliability (Over the 360, probably the same as the Wii)
Sony development Studios (Think i read something the other day saying they are the 3rd largest, least in terms of man power)
Dolbe True HD sound and also 7.1 I think.
Region Free games.
Can run Linux
Ability to use any web cam, think the xbox is tied to the xbox vision cam, though i may be wrong.
Bluetooth, not a propriety Wireless solution, so should be easier for 3rd parties to create controllers, like red octaine.

they are all wireless are they not?

I was going to say '...out of the box', but then PS3 doesn't have HDMI out of the box does it. Nor does it say in the OP ootb so we're talking features full stop aren't we?! :confused: :D

/EDIT: A growing download library of 5 consoles worth of games.

It does have HDMI out the box, just not a cable :p

I've read about a fair few dieing myself, granted probably not to the 360's extent

Yeah i've heard of a couple of PS3's and Wii's dying, but the 360 is undeniably bad

im on the verge of buying one, are they graphically going to surpass the 360, i see so many conflicting opinions?

My mate has one, and what ive seen so far they are not as crisp as the 360 even on same titles e.g RR6.

But there will be elements on both that may be done better, e.g textures on one, lighting on another. They in my opinion are very close, and not as far apart as people make out. But its about gameplay at the end of the day and i think the 360's killer App is XBL atm, Sony need to really vamp there online system to compete for something that is a big part of the Console future - online

Even in the long term i doubt it will surpass and if it does it wont be by much.
though i think the PS3 in the long term may have some more inteligent features, such as slightly better AI and physics, but since so many folk use off the shelf engines/add ons it will be rare.
 
The ability to stay on shelves throughout America? That nancy wii can't stand a minute on the shelf before it's whipped off for someone to buy :p

its what ever you prefer, i dont like the wii - not my sort of thing

i like the 360 - because i find it very playable and just fun e.g not hard to play

the PS3 has some serious **** to sort out namely *PRICE* no matter what you say, over £400 for a console is total bull

its probably good, but so far i havnt seen anything thats got that "sparkle" that the games should have, no ground breaking titles, nothing that will make you go out and by one over a new car....

they really need for get there finger out if they want to be taken seriously, its turned in to another money fuled "product" rather than a true gamers console. when they get some games released that are worth the plastic there burned on i will go and by one
