CloseIf you have the money to spare i'd say go for it. The PS3 has bad press but i think that's only because you have to be rich to be able to afford the console + the games.
But I don't really know much about its blue-ray functions and such like, so i guess my advice'd be a bit on the rubbish side.

I have a PS3 myself and it basically is my family's replacement for a TiVo. We got a bundle that included PlayTV, which allowed you to pause, rewind, record, etc. Plus if you join that up with a PSP you can watch TV on it :D.
So in one bundle we basically got a TiVo, a Blu-Ray player and a next-gen gaming console.
PS3 can access the internet quite easily too and it probably has the capabilities to play music off a USB stick, if it doesn't Sony just sucks.
If you ever consider it for gaming purposes, I suggest go for it. PS3 is going to the console available for the next 5+ years in the Sony department, and that's a long time for the amount of gaming companies to produce titles other than FFXIII or Versus. Personally, I bought my PSP a couple of years back just to play Daxter, and I don't regret the decision at all. I have invested over 100 hours into the console, probably more since 45 of them are Dissidia. I also have several other games I highly enjoy playing and have returned to playing multiple times. So though the games market for PS3 is still small, if you ever do decide to play games on it, there will be plenty more options as the market for the console itself grows.

Yeah, I really wanted something like PlayTV, but it's not available in Japan. Hopefully something similar comes out soon.
PS3's music options are rad actually, you don't even have to add your music to the harddrive, you can stream it from your computer. I was thinking of buying an ipod stereo for my living room, but this is a much better idea.
The wife is deadset against it (she wants an air conditioner for the upstairs study/reading/work room), but I think I'll pick one up with an HDMI cable tomorrow. Then next pay check I'll buy a game. I already downloaded tons of PSone classics for the PSP, so I will put some of those on my PS3.
