It does really seem to be aiming to take that spot in the living room and it looks like it might very well do so.
playstation3 is offering; TV, free internet access, Games and Blu rays.
The new weather centre they showed also helps that little bit more

Dude,, your forget that the ps3 has an optical out? My ps3 game sound so much better on my Bose system than my 360 does cause I hook my ps3 straight to my bose system with an optical cable.

The last thing I want is it to be the center of my living room. As my son & I like gaming while the rest of the family watch TV. I have one room setup for gaming and another for TV and watching movies. PlayTV is too expensive at £70. You can get a Freeview twin tuner and hdd recorder for £60.

7 - man...
only if Sony can make a little deal with AT&T and Verizon, it would be dope if the PS3 can act as a receiver and be used with U-verse and FiOS. I have AT&T U-verse ( I wanted Verizon FiOS, but it's not offered in my area.), and it would be crazy instead of using the regular motorola receiver I got. I could plug up the cable to my PS3 and watch/record programs from there.

Damn, a game console, Blu-ray player, VoD, DVR, IPTV receiver.

*sigh* a gamer can dream right?
