I bought the PlayStation for the Blu-Ray player. It is one of the best players on the market. You can buy a player cheaper but you don't get the added feature of being able to play games. I was not a game player when I bought the machine but I received a game for Christmas and I must admit it is a nice additional feature. Some of the new games are quite sophisticated and fun to play. So with this device you can play old DVD's, Blu-Ray DVD's and get games as well. Not a bad deal for the price. ... Read More

I'm very, very happy with the transaction. I do, however wished that the description was more in depth about how not backward compatible the PS3 is with PS2. But, the player is totally awesome and I am happy that I had purchased it. Also, the Shipper was very fast with the shipment. Thumbs Up.
