The AP examines the non-game playing features of the PS3 including Blu-ray playback, connecting a PSP, wireless networking, downloading games, and chatting with friends (or "computer" for short). The article rates each feature by usability, value, and setup difficulty both praising and critiquing the multimedia offering. In a paragraph: "Some of the console's extracurricular features are as knuckle-bitingly frustrating as actually procuring one of these hard-to-find systems ... Meanwhile, other PS3 fortes, such as playing Blu-ray discs and downloading retro PS1 games, are gloriously uncomplicated."
