Verified answer

Are you kidding me? Nothing good about the PS3? Let's see:

1. Blu-ray player.

2. DVD upconverter

3. Wi-Fi out of the box (unless you got the 20 gb which I doubt)

4. Surf the web.

5. Install Linux.

6. Play games.

7. Turn your PS3 on via the PSP.

8. Held find a cure for diseases (seriously!. It's called Folding@HOME).

9. PSN is free.

10. HOME is so popular even though it hasn't been released yet, that Nintendo and MS have already copied it.

There's a bunch more.

Plus, with each firmware update, the PS3 can do more and more.

You mean to tell me that your boyfriend hasn't given you any positive feedback? You go out and spend probably 500 bucks on the best gaming console ever created and you have not heard anything positive? if he can't tell you how great this system is that's just like saying he really doesn't appreciate what you did for him. Women make it so easy sometimes.

Not only does it have everything in the top rated answer, but 7 internal CPUs. You can turn your playstation into a computer if you want!

As long as you don't mind using Yellowdog Linux or Ubuntu.

Take it from a hardcore xbox360 fan. PS3 is not only everything Jeanelle says it is it is well worth the price and free from the Microsoft BS/shenanigans

If he doesn't have a computer to play online, he needs one. It changes the whole experience! Then update to the latest version, and get Metal Gear Solid 4.
