I wanna see internet radio on the PS3, I know you can get it on the net browser but I want a separate module on the XMB music section that can get all the stations, a pretty easy thing to do I would think and would be very unique among the consoles, its certainly something the 360 and Wii don't do.

Forgot to say, the UK specs are different to the states, the lower model is a 1.46ghz dual core (not core 2 duo)with 1gb and 160GB HDD while the more expensive model with the 2GB ram and a 200GB HDD has a 2.0ghz core 2 duo processor.

Now it is the best deal on the market for a UK consumer.

The Sony style UK website is listing the NR series at £549 and £649 for a model with 2gb RAM and a 200gb HDD (4200rpm) for pre order. I hope Play, Amazon, Currys et al will knock £50 or more off the RRP price of each model which would make it a very good deal indeed but I reckon you could probably get a HP model of similar spec for a bit less (though it wouldn't be quite so pretty looking).

My 360 is 6 months old and has just this week had to go back to Microsoft for the first time! I gotta say that I have never in 15+ years of gaming had a console, or in fact any piece of electronic kit break within its first 3 years of life because I take such good care of them. The only thing which has stopped me taking my 360 (when I get it back) down to GAME and trading it for a PS3 has been the promise of Mass Effect and losing contact with my clan buddies!

Microsoft: Must do better!

@ #5 - I find it very amusing that you seem to think your expertise of the complications of price structure are so much greater than the head of SCEA, its not like he is the person who would know absolutely about something like that and should definitely heed the raving lunacy of a deluded fanboy.
