I have a PS3 and love it. I never had a PS1 or PS2, so it has been fun to play the old classics. I even played all the way through the original Metal Gear Solid for PS1 (not to mention the two PS2 MGS games). I can vouch for what Stitch says; the PS3 is a great Blu-ray player. It's also the only player on which you'll be able to play Metal Gear Solid 4.
