A PS3 is nothing like a PC. Its merely as powerful as a PC. But until I can sit at a desk to do my homework, using the included monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Office software, running Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, Word, iTunes and 3 or 4 browser windows all at once, print documents as I work, and not have to turn off the Brewers game in the other room to do it, it can't do what my 3 year-old PC does. Even if it were designed to do all that, its not worth rearranging my whole life for. PS3 is a PC in the same way that a riding lawnmower with a jet engine is a 747.

 Thanks. You just helped to make my point because the PS3 can do these things. All you need to do is install an operating system. Which the PS3 openly alows you to do.  And not to mention the fact that you can use a standard PC monitor as well as as keyboard and mouse printer, and external DVD writer.

Yellow Dog's out already? The way i see it, looks like you should buy PC with rewritable BD-drive. It shouldn't be much more expensive than PS3 with similar equipment. I have to say that good thing with PS3 is that, with its HD digital tuner, you can burn from HDTV recorded programs from HDD to BD. Think how many HD movies or TV shows fit to 200GB BD. No wait... Did i mix something?
