Things to like:
1. Makes HDTV worthwhile. BluRay discs look out-freaking-standing (to me, the difference with DVD is noticeable, but then I'm a media geek). The media playback capabilities alone are the equivalent of a high-end AV system.
2. Topnotch build and reliability.
3. Sheer power of the system. Sony did the right thing and let the engineers run riot with multicore. By fall of 2008, gamers everywhere will be very, very happy about this.
4. Excellent backwards compatibility for those who want it (lots of users don't care, of course, but I appreciate the fact that I have a choice in terms of models).
5. Overall presentation and interface -- classy look, automatic disc intake, built-in power brick, low-noise fan and touch controls.
