Fun:
This is the new ps3 slim which i invested in shortly after they came out, the workings of console itself is the same as the original ps3 but the shell is considerably smaller and the scale on which is made and works is smaller to save power and money. This means it easier to move about becuase its smaller and lighter, its also uses about a third less energy now also.
As a games console the ps3 is excellent, it may not have as good a library of games as the xbox and it may not have as good an online service, but its online is free which is great and the games it has are now starting to show the difference graphically between the xbox and ps3 e.g. uncharted 2 against any xbox game will show the ps3 to be considerably more powerful.In saying this i don't mean the ps3 has bad games it still has some great exclusives e.g. metal gear, uncharted, killzone and little big planet to name but a few. So don't be too much put off by the 360's catalogue.
Another advantage is that you don't need to pay for the additional bits and bobs that you do with xbox e.g. if you want to go wireless its built into the ps3 but with the xbox its around £60 for the adapter, the batteries are built in rechargable with the playstation the xbox requires a play and charge kit at around £15.
The ps3 is also a media playback machine, it can play just about any common file type thrown at it except .mkv, it plays music, videos , dvds, pictures but another big advantage is it a blu-ray player built in, and not a awful quality blu-ray player , a very high quality one doe to the magnitide of processing power supporting the ps3.
The only minor concern with it is it can heat up a lot when playing this is because its been smaller and therefore the heat will have more of an effect against the casing, but i just hope that it isn't too detrimental on the workings of the ps3.
This pack contains batman the dark knight and wolverine - two very good movies i believe they ahve been chosen because, batman has many colours involved in certain aspects of it and the high definition really comes into its' own when there are lots of colours involved and wolverine has been chosen due to its heavy use of special effects which again tend to look far better on blu-ray when compared with dvd.
Overall its a great deal, because you are essentially getting those two great movies for free and they will introduce you very nicely into the blu-ray world and the console is great in everyway a console should be great.

If you're thinking of buying the new PS3 and are umming and ahhhhring - stop now and buy it. It's wonderful. It was set up, connected to the internet and was playing Slumdog Millionaire within 10 minutes of removal from the box.
My husband first bought a Sony Vaio Laptop and then a Samsung BDP-1400 to connect to our Sony Bravia KDL-40V TV for Blu-ray connectivity and good value for money. The laptop was a disaster and required a masters degree and 4 months talking to Sony to make it work. The Samsung let you cook a 4 course meal whilst a film started and a firmware upgrade to make it play Quantum of Solace turned it into a brick (one week after the guarantee ran out).
The PS3 is beautifully small, really easy to navigate and the bundled remote means you don't have to fiddle about with a games controller to watch a film. The picture quality is stunning and it immediately detected the Bravia output capability and started churning out lovely 1080p pictures.
What a dream - peace and Blu-ray playback is restored to our house at a bargain price.
