So the PlayStation 3 is finally here - and it's not exactly flying off the shelves either. Of course, at £425 it was probably never going to, but is it worth all that money? We assess the PS3's credentials as both a games console and Blu-ray player....
Review Verdict: A better Blu-ray player than Samsung's, although hi-def games look better on the Xbox 360

Video support isn't the best, but the PS3 remains a superb piece of kit
Review Verdict: Inside is a 40GB hard disk (twice the capacity of the Xbox's and easily upgradeable) and you can use this to store game data, music, photos and videos. Format support is wider than the Xbox, with MPEG1, 2 and 4 (H.264 and AVCHD) on the menu
