The Sony PS3 is a great centerpiece for a home entertainment system, since it not only plays outstanding games, but it also doubles as a Blu-Ray player. The PS3 also offers connectivity features with Sony's online service PlayStation Network, which offers downloadable game content, as well as full-on downloadable games which can be purchased at the online PlayStation Store. The PS3 is also home to PlayStation Home, a social networking application that lets you create a virtual avatar for yourself and chat online with other users. Finally, the console comes equipped with an Internet browser, text chat, video chat (using the PlayStation Eye peripheral for video), and is adding support for Netflix movies using the Netflix PS3 disc.
