if Sony's new box suports blue-ray as they have been touting I think that Sony won't have to do much work to get the must have technology vote.
If the PSP is anything to go by Sony seems to be marketign its new gaming products to an older generation. One that apprecates a box even when its turned off.

Some nice numbers there - I've avoiding consoles till now ... nothing has made me want to get one, as stated above, they very soon look very poor compared to PC games ... my dad/bro have one, just recently been round watching them play on his 36"WS ... LotR3 - graphics look so very dated for the gameplay, there were some video bits that looked like the film itself, but having been spoilt with recent PC kit, I couldn't face going back to that ... PC snob I guess!
Course when they release a new console its about a generation (read 6 months) ahead of PC for graphics, so that is when they'd have to have something to grab my attention, we'll see

USB ports... think theyll be usable, or will they be like the PS2s usb ports? if theyre usable, then great - means i can have a decent keyboard and mouse plugged in, along with my 250gb hard drive....
also, doesnt it all seem a bit low on memory? 500mb main, and 10mb graphics? or am i missing/misreading something?

They're real USB - I think there's a USB webcam planned for release as well - be interesting if they use that for video messaging (MSN messenger stylee) as well as games.
Might make a semi decent media center (for pics, music, video etc) especially if your kitted out with wireless so you can stream stuff of a server/main PC.
fingers crossed for web browsing - dead handy for those "oooh just want to look something up" moments.
Oh, and I suppose it should play great games as well

Janie, if the CD drive is having trouble try all the games you have, if memory serves you got this less than a year ago and I'm guessing they still have DvD driver issues (I got mine replaced by MS), but if your drive is playing up now within warranty get it changed now. Look on the web and there are pic of the CD tray which lets you know which drive you have and if it is one of the problem one's.
As far as using it as a DvD player it's also bloody noisy, so nice to see there doing something about that as well.
