The Video Game Console War is in full effect. And I am here to rally to the Sony banner. This holiday will see Sony and Microsoft go head to head for the first time since the next gen console war kicked off. 2009 is the year of PlayStation 3. And here are the five reasons why.

5. Blu Ray Movies: This is number five because you have to be a movie  fanatic to truly appreciate the power of film in this format. After watching your favorite action, sci-fi, fantasy, or super hero flick you’ll never watch it on a normal DVD again. If you’re looking to get a Ps3 or a Blu Ray player these movies are a must have .

4. Hard Drive Upgrades: From a guy that loves to download stuff, and doesn’t have a DVR, this is the best thing to ever happen. As of now the Xbox 360 can come with a 250 GB HDD. And the PS3 will also be getting a 250 GB HDD. There is no higher HDD available for the the Xbox 360. But you can put a 500GB HDD in the PlayStation for less than $100. And in less than 10 minutes.

3. Download Central: With a 500GB HDD in your system the possibilities are endless. The amount of video and game content the machine can hold is amazing. Since the PS3 can play Divx video data, you can download nearly any TV show or movie and transfer to the PS3 via, portable HDD or flash drive. The torrents are bursting with goodies just waiting to be added to your media list. Japanese anime that is subtitled that would take years to reach the U.S. are available weekly. I don’t have have a DVR and would never get one. This is what makes the PS3 the best family media entertainment device. All your favorite flicks right on the HDD, no need for streaming.

2. PlayStation 3 Slim: After being the most expensive console out there, Sony has made there way back into the main stream of the consumers market. For $299 you get a PS3 with a 120 GB HDD. Not only that but you get this cool sleek looking console that is the envy of all gamers. Hard drive upgrades still apply. And online game play is still free. With all the great exclusive titles for this system, nothing is going to stop Sony now.

1. The Uncharted 2 PS3 Slim Bundle: The picture speaks for itself. Sporting a 250GB HDD and the best game this year. Sony is ready to lay waste to the competition. And no I don’t think the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare Bundle will be a threat. Most of the guys buying Modern Warfare 2 already have an Xbox. Hopefully next week we’ll get more information on this sweet PS3 Exclusive Bundle. And yes Sony denies that this is real. Just like the PS3 Slim, and the PSP.

And if these five little things don’t seem good enough. Just take a look at the awesome library that Sony has. Both current and upcoming titles that will knock your socks off. “It only does everything”
