I actually bought the PS3 in order to receive a 24 month, interest free loan to buy a LARGE screen Panasonic Plasma HDTV from Circuit City. In order to get this promotion you had to spend $999.99. The TV was only 799.99 so I had to come up with at least $200.00 more in purchases. After hearing the salesperson’s spiel on several options to enhance my TV experience, the only SMART (no brainer) option was the PS3 with all the above benefits. It was a little more than $200.00 but well worth the extra few dollars. Besides the beautiful system that can either sit horizontally or vertically next to your TV, this powerful machinery of hardware, software and networking is worth every penny.
