Sony PlayStation 3 PS3 Console with 80GB HDD (40GB is the norm): ~£300
Following the release of the 360 larger hard drive the PS3 follows suit on the 22/08/08:
PS3 is the most advanced computer system that serves as a platform to enjoy next generation computer entertainment contents in the home, realised through the combination of Cell and RSX processors. Having Giga-bit Ethernet and a pre-installed hard disk drive (HDD) as standard in PS3, users will be able to download a variety of contents as well as access on-line games and services over the network.
Equipped with basic input/output ports, PS3 supports a broad range of displays from conventional NTSC/PAL standard TVs to the latest full HD (1080i/1080p) flat panel displays, offering the joy of the most advanced computer entertainment contents to homes around the world. For use in living rooms, maximum heat and noise reduction has been achieved with a noise level equivalent to that of the current slim-line PlayStation 2. With the overwhelming computational power of the Cell processor, PS3 is capable of playing back content from Blu-ray (BD) disc at a bit rate of multiplex 48Mbps with ease, the maximum bit rate defined in BD standards.
Console features:
80GB HDD
2 USB Ports
DualShock 3 Sixaxis Wireless Controller
[MOD EDIT (midnightz): £299.99]

Knew I forgot something....
It can play Blue ray discs.....but it cannot play PS1 Games.
Strangely enough one of the reasons I bought a 360 was for backwards compatibility, have I used it? No. |

| It should play PS1 games, AFAIK ALL PS3s play PS1 games, PS2 games on the other hand it won't, only the original 60gb will play those (UK wise). |

It definitely WON'T play PS2, the only UK console that has played PS2 games was the original 60gb here, in the US it was the 20gb, 60gb and ORIGINAL 80gb (they're redoing that one without as well I believe) and the same in Japan.
Like I said above, afaik all PS3s have the ability to play PS1 games. |
