The EISA (Eureopean Imaging and Sound Association) haves choose the PS3 as winner in the category Home Entertainment Products.


Quote:

The price underlines the importace of the PS3 as centre of interest in the living room.

For the first time Sony got the first price in the category mentioned before,
and the PS3 got the appreciation that he deserves from the EISA.

The EISA, is the biggest multimedia-organisation in Europe, exists of the most 50
important Audio, Mobile phone, Eletronica, Video and picture magazines out 19 European countries. The Jury exist of independent journalist and technicalexperts.

"Winning the EISA-AWARD means a lot in the Electronia-industry."
The price of a product what normaly is an video game console let us see what an multifunctionale the PS3 is and show us the quality of the product."

 

Sigh Europeans they are so stupid aren't they?

I don't think they're necessarily stupid (and I'm a Nintendo fanboy who's never owned a Sony console). It really depends on the parameters for giving the awards. The PS3 is definately an impressive piece of hardware, has catapulted BR above HDDVD, and relatively good deal if you are one of the few in the market for hi-def DVD AND a new game console, . That apparantly isn't as large a market as Sony had hoped, but I don't believe this is an award for either marketing or gaming, so it seems a fair choice.
