Without a doubt, a PS3 is in my immediate future. Thanks to 
davegrrr who pointed me to the Wikipedia entry on the PS3 which really helped me understand the various models out there. Maybe it was also coryblank that encouraged me here, but I won't put that blame on him. ;) My first experience with the PS3 was through bigredlug when he used to live here in NC.
I'm really looking forward to GT5 Prologue coming out and there is one other game I'm interested in. Driving is my thing here and will likely dominate all other games I have.
Anyway, I think I've selected the best system for what I need, but wanted to check for any catches I might be missing. Amazon has a PS3 40GB unit for $400. My plans for the PS3 are to use it for gaming and playing DVD's/Blu-ray discs only. I know the 40GB unit will not play PS2 games and will keep my old PS2 console for now (I have plenty of inputs into my system for that). I don't plan on using any other multimedia features as my apple TV takes care of that.
Anything else I should consider before guying this? Other essential accessories? The $400 price tag appears to be a great price for this unit, agreed?

P.S. Once you've created your account, add me to your friends list. I'm coryblank there, too!
Personally, since there's so little PS3 exclusivity anymore I won't be able to rationalize the purchase for myself for another few years, but if you don't have a Blu-Ray player that alone makes it a sensible investment.
I'm not a big gamer and I have less than 5 games total right now. I have not played my driving games as much because I just don't have the right equipment, but I'm working on that too.
