Blitz: The League 2 (PS3)

PS3 slim

Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation
Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live

nothing on the system excited me that I couldn't already get for my 360! The exceptions to this rule being Killzone 2 & Resistance. In fairness, the PS3 hasn't been out as long as the 360, so I'm guessing the situation will improve as time progresses. Extras-Some nice ideas here from Sony, Vidzone isn't bad, altho the selection is a bit limited, movie trailers can be downloaded in 1080P(the 360 just gives a streamed SD trailer) but not full audio. Built in i-player is nifty altho not much use to me, as I'm on cable which gives me it in normal tv quality, but I guess it'll work for sky/freeview people out there. Yeah, they threw in a browser, but don't waste your time, fire up your PC & get what you are doing a lot faster, they have made a decent effort to work it, but for me, it needs a zoom(my apologies if there is one & I've missed it) as I ...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (PS3)

PlayStation 3 Slim

Advantages: Free Online Play, Nice Design, Exclusive Games, Feature Packed
Disadvantages: None

I have recently sold my 60GB PS3 'Phat' and replaced it with a 250GB Slim model and so far I couldn't be happier with it. ~~~ Games ~~~ For 99% of people this will be the key area that the console has to perform in - and it does. I've played a wide variety of games on it since I bought it including FIFA, Call of Duty, Assassins Creed 2 and various demos. All of these play very smoothly and the graphics are of a very good high-definition quality. I can see no difference between the performance of the original 'Phat' models and the 'Slim' model. ~~~ Blu-Ray Player ~~~ So far the only Blu-Ray movie I have watched on the 'Slim' is Transformers 2. I have watched parts of it on both a stand-alone Blu-Ray player and on the original PS3 and again I can see no difference. The picture quality is very bright ...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (PS3)

Playstation 3 is brilliant

Advantages: Brilliant graphics, plays multi-media formats
Disadvantages: No HDMI cable included, not compatible with Playstation 2 games

The Playstation 3 (PS3), Sony's 3rd generation of console is a complete triumph. Whether it's playing games, listening to music, watching movies or surfing the net the PS3 has you covered. The system is very easy to set up and can be used with high definition tv's (HDMI cable needed-sold separately), the games have stunning graphics and brilliant sound everything one would want from a next generation console. The new slim version although not as aesthetically pleasing as the previous version has a much larger hard drive option (either 120GB or 250GB). As for movies the playstation 3 will play blu-ray movies (the standard media format for the games) as well as DVD's so no need to replace that established collection. One drawback is that Playstation 2 games although playable on some of the earlier PS3's are not compatible with the new slim ...
