I don't think the PS3's bells and whistles are really a bad thing, but nor are they original.
It has a hard drive, usb ports, hdmi, 5.1 output, bluetooth, WiFi, DVD player,and a cheap Blu-ray player (which may or may not succeed).
The Xbox 360 has all of these except hdmi (but it has hd component which is pretty good), bluetooth, and Blu-ray.
The Wii, at the same time, has USB ports, bluetooth, WiFi, DVD player, and uses component video just like the 360.
PS3 only really excels in the graphics department and that's really not a bad thing; gameplay is important but if Wiis games were just a few colored pixels, it wouldn't be that deep or fun. The PS3 will rival some PCs although probably not for more than a year with PC graphics card makers pumping out new stuff all the time. Hopefully, someday, PCs and consoles will merge in some way and we will get the best graphics with the best gameplay at the same time.
We all know, and have seen however, that Wii games don't look like
just a couple colored pixels. Some of it's games rival the Xbox 360s graphics and will surpass both the 360's and PS3's gameplay, thanks to the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo.
I'm just saying, we shouldn't saying the PS3 has too many bells and whistles just because a couple of their bells might look better.
I will have to say, however, that Wii has the real bells and whistles where it counts: games, gameplay, innovation, and fun
