So should UK readers wait? While we are big fans of the Xbox 360 here at Pocket-lint we have to say that from what we have seen so far, the PlayStation 3 certainly out performs it when it comes to graphics.
Gears of War on the Xbox 360 is luscious, and looks fantastic, however the crispness of Resistance: Fall Of Man, complete with leaves blowing in the wind as you fight the forces of evil, show you it’s the little details that count. Likewise in our comparison testing Ridge Racer 7 came out top over the graphically niceties of Project Gotham Racing.
As for movies against the Xbox 360 we've yet to test the optional HD DVD drive as yet and will update this review when we do in the coming weeks.
Against the Nintendo Wii, graphics isn't really relevant here as both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 blow it out of the water, however where Nintendo will succeed is in the games that are available for it from day one that really bring some truly innovative ideas, including the motion sensor controller to the table.
So what's the verdict?
If you are after graphics, fancy the idea of Blu-ray and don't mind waiting until Christmas 2007 before getting a good solid selection of games that will really push the console then the PS3 is worth the money.
If you can't wait that long but still want the graphics then opt for the Xbox 360 and get yourself a copy of Gears of War, Pro Evo 6 and Project Gotham Racing to get you started.
Finally if you actually want to have a laugh in front of your telly then we would recommend the Nintendo Wii, with Tennis, Trauma Center and Zelda you'll be hard pushed to beat the gameplay, and better still its only going to set you back £180 rather than the expected £500 for the PS3.
A very impressive machine, if only the games and the movie selection were at the same level as the console this would be a no brainer. Hopefully for UK readers, by the time the console launches here both issues will be resolved.
Looking for the answer to the PS3 competition? You've come to the right place. The answer is Boston is the name of the office dog.

Le PSN (PlayStation Network) n'est pas encore à la hauteur du Xbox Live, mais c'est sur
As previously mentioned, you're getting a lot more than just a games console here. You've also got a future-proof Blu-ray player; a web browser; a music, video and picture viewer; an upscaling DVD player; a social networking hub; and you can even install Linux on it.

The PS3 is a brilliant, brilliant games console that will only get better over time. The PSN (PlayStation Network) is not yet up to the standard of Xbox Live, but it's on its way.
And as soon as this is brought up to date, the PS3 will surely be the most desirable HD console on the market.
