Looking for an excuse to but a PS3.
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/10/ ... station-3/ $9.00 a month for unlimited streaming movies and TV shows sounds good.

Chris, I don't want to ruin your rationalization to buy a PS3, but I'm streaming movies from NetFlix today with my laptop using my HD TV as the display. It works great even on a 52 inch screen. I get the online service with my NetFlix subscription of mail movies.

Yeah, but a laptop for streaming and bluray player will cost more than PS3. And PS3 will be HD to TV rather than VGA. Plus it's a gaming console. Sure, it's not a great browser but good for media center too. I guess you could get a shuttle PC with bluray but maybe more than PS3 too.

I think Walt is operating on the assumption he already has a laptop but not a PS3.

What's a gaming console?

In fact, what's a PS3 and why would one need such a thing?

I will reply for Basement Paul. You need a gaming console so you play racing games when the track is rained out.

That's like saying you're too old to do burnouts in your driveway...

That maybe because you haven't seen/heard the newest games. They look soooo real.
I heard Gran Turismo 5 is coming out in 2010. That might be enough to get me to upgrade to PS3.

I've been waiting a long time for GT5 to come out to get the PS3. The only good thing is that the cost of the PS3 has come down already.

I can't believe it's taking them soooo long for it to come out. Last I heard it was supposed to be out last xmas. Online racing will be sweet!
