I bought a PS3 for many of the reasons stated above, BlueRay+Media center capabilities and free online gaming being the biggest one. The price is worth it. It's just as Sony has said, it's not just a gaming machine.
What I am worried about is the price of games. Here in Sweden we pay 699-599 (62,25-55â) for a new game, if you are lucky some of the bigger electric chains have it for 499 (45,85â) (including sales tax). That's too much. Luckily the PS3 is REGION FREE when it comes to games (Army of Two is the only region locked game so far). So I buy almost all my games from the UK now (play.com) They need to lower the prices of games for people to consider buying one. It's no fun when you need to buy a extra controller and a game and you have just added 1/4 of the original unit's price to your expenses.
So boxee is pretty much useless if you don't live in the United States (or have a proxy there)...
A Xbox360 would be nice too but Netflix doesn't exist here... neither does the Video store on my PS3... WTF! Even Sony produced movies aren't rented out in the PSN Store because of f-ing licensing issues
That's sort of funny, it's actually illegal to take pictures of illegal activities happening whilst in transit in the London Underground if you don't have a permit?
Oh I'm sorry... If I had to choose between the cure for canceer being found earlier and having to go without hair for the rest of my life AND keeping my hair. I'd choose to go without my hair.
I was going to state that in my original post but I left it out.
I'm probably not in the risk zone for being completely bald but the risk is there, this based on my parents, uncles & grandfathers.
I still don't think it's such a big deal. If I had to choose between the cure for cancer being found earlier and having to go without hair for the rest of my life, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Yeah, if he makes $500 million a year but owes $600 million a year he's still at a loss.
What I meant was that the economy if "stable" in the US because of the borrowed money. When the US can't borrow more they will have to realise that you can't make cars that swallow a gallon per mile and everything is going to colappse since China/Japan etc. will be cheaper to the rest of the world. (pardon my spelling)

I guess they hadn't heard of condoms or Implanon?
Apparently Burger King didn't have any problems with that in the game World in Conflict.
Say you only got one arm? or One leg?
Will Natal still work correctly?
EA: Sports 2010
Requirements: Xbox 360, Natal system, no physical disabilites
What happens if I stand just behind my friend and it looks like we have four arms? Will Natal work that out?

Lucky for us Swedes we still have Piratebay ;)
It would be great to see Google just backing out of Italy if this turns out bad.
Sorry Italy, no Google for you.

There are several graphical variants also.
Those who ruined their TV's where not kids...
Tell that to those managing Piratebay...
Why don't do this to all the ISP's in Sweden?
2.6 Million Swedes apparently pirate software, music and movies every day. That's almost 1/3rd of the populace.
They make huge profits from this but in no way are they trying to hinder the use of p2p, well some try to filter it but that doesn't help very much.
There is nothing illegal about doing "bad" business...
Open eyes
Why would they need SecuROM?
You'll need an account to play anyway, they'll probably use some monitoring software to thwart bots playing though
Oh I'm sorry...

Can't they focus the research on something more important than baldness?
Stupidity isn't limited to Republicans you know... Democrats are allowed to be stupid too...
They use the game's login for the forum...

That depends on a number of different factors.
For you, I'd say disk speed.
7zip is a bit slower than rar but it compresses better.

You know the US has probably borrowed most of their money from the Chinese anyway...
Well it can't be the U.S.A. they are always late.
What stops the CAD people from just NOT UPGRADING TO 3.0!
Or have OpenGL2.0 installed side by side?
Here in Sweden the carrier lock usually lasts for the first 12 months of the contract and can then be unlocked for roughly $50.
