PS3 Gets Sound & Vision 2006 Editors's Choice Awards

[Ocelot]

As a non-gamer, I approached the prospect of testing Sony's PlayStation 3 ($599) with some trepidation. Would playing videogames make me violent? And what were the chances of a home invasion should word get out that I was harboring a PS3? Turned out there was nothing to fear — Sony's multimedia wonder is all good. Not only does it deliver picture and sound quality on par with the other Blu-ray Disc players on the market, its speedy Cell processor gives it an ergonomic edge by enabling the player to quickly load discs and scan menu items. The PS3's built-in Dolby TrueHD decoding, HDMI 1.3 output, and Ethernet port also offer comfort that your hard-earned dollars aren't being spent on a product that will soon become obsolete. And then there's the built-in Wi-Fi link for tapping into a home network for online game play — and retrieving firmware updates. The first item on our update wish list: more flexible video-scaling options. That and a whole lot more PS3s, so everyone can own one.

Good to know, but I think all these awards are all kinda pointless. They serve no purposes other than bragging rights.
